Hi, I'm new. I've been visiting this site and forum for months now. I feel safe here. Everyone is kind and caring.
I'm in therapy and on medication. I'm married with two dogs. I knit, crochet and other crafts.
I started cutting myself when I was 5 years old. I remember getting my bathroom stool so Icould reach Dad's razor blades. And like everyone else here, I tried to act normal.
In 1985 I got help. Back then C-PTSD was called something else. Years later with therapy and AA, I was high functioning and led a content life.
In 2014 a crazy neurologist prescribed Clonazepam for Essential Tremor. (Sent there to rule out Parkinson's.) My C-PTSD reignited. Only this time I have physical sensations during flashbacks and have many more details.
Thank all deities that this website had the article about benzodiazepines and PTSD. NowI know why my brain is scrambled.
Thank you for this forum.
