Hey everyone, how are you?
I'm well. There's been a lot going on on my end, but I am FINALLY free of the abusive situation I was in! I moved out and I'm loving having my own place. Thank God for that. There is hope.
One of my abusers, so I've heard anyway, is checking up on my Facebook page though (and telling people lies about me and wanting them to check up on my page by friend requesting me). This is my first time really being back on social media since myspace. So, the idea that this abuser is doing this is nerve wracking. We aren't friends on there so they can't see anything I don't make public. Still, it's like I'm being watched even after leaving.
What do you think...should I make everything only for my friends to see, or like get off of Facebook? I just got on there a few days ago. I don't want to be too afraid to live my life. I was thinking if anyone asks anymore questions wondering about what this person has said, then I would tell them that they lie and stop believing them. It's exhausting having to go back and make sure people know the truth from the lies.
Also, I started therapy. The first two sessions were just paperwork. So, the therapy starts at our next session. She's not too familiar with C-PTSD symptoms. Any advice on how to proceed with a therapist that isn't too familiar with C-PTSD. I gave her this article to explain some of my symptoms:
Life-Impacting Symptoms of Complex PTSD | The Mighty
She said she would read it. I will read Pete Walker's book:
Redirect Notice and go through that with her. I'm thinking that may be an okay start.
Thanks all.
