Last Wednesday, T told me that in addition to depression, SAD, and anxiety, she feels I also have PTSD. I asked what the trauma was and she said, "your mother's cruelty and abandonment." In the days since then, I've done some reading and it seems to me that what I most likely have is cptsd. The "c" stands for "complex" and differs from PTSD in that typically, in PTSD, the trauma is a one-time event. I don't see T again until next week. What do I do in the meantime? In cptsd, the trauma is repeating, ongoing, and harder to treat. T and I have had problems texting, so she won't text with me anymore.
There are a number of other complications. I joined the cptsd forum, but didn't feel comfortable. Here is where I feel most safe. Advice, comments, help?
Thanks,
Cool
