I just wanted to say thanks to my chorus.

My family doctor referred me to a psychiatrist, whom I saw in February and again today

She confirmed I have CPTSD. During my two hour initial session she talked me through things that have happened in the past two years that I didn’t even see as being related to this stuff.

Today she laid out the timeline of the progression and the healing to date… I’m very typical. She referred me for counselling specifically for CPTSD.

She talked to me about the chronic sleep disruption and effects on health and mental health too.

It was humbling to be told, again, by Another professional, that I was abused.

I had coffee with a good friend on Saturday morning. I told him about reaching the point of immersing myself in the peace and quiet at home, so much so that it would hit me emotionally. Then growing past that to peace and positivity is normal.

My stbx wife is extremely academically accomplished and has held some big jobs in the past. I’ve seen her as extremely smart.

I just don’t get how someone that smart can’t see and trust the evidence before them and go, “Oh sh… It’s me. I’m the problem.”

Anyway… It was a good day. I took my DD out to a nice restaurant and we went looking at motorcycles. .
