Hi everyone,
I am new here and wanted to introduce myself. I was recently told that I have Complex PTSD from childhood sexual abuse. I have been in therapy for almost 15 years and am about to start EMDR, which is a little scary. I have a lot of issues with relationships and have never really dated even though I am 26. I have difficulty with trust and get paranoid sometimes. I also have been depressed and feel like I may never get better and have a normal life. I am really hoping that EMDR will help and that I will feel better soon. |

I'm a C-PTSD sufferer but have never had EMDR. I wish you the best with it. Keep it touch and let us know how it goes. I hope it helps.

I have C-PTSD also from prolonged physical/emotion abuse as a child. I'm twice your age and I can say that I wish I had therapy in my twenties. I'm just about to start EMDR and am worried also.

hi Nogreaterlove,
love that user name. I recognize it cuz its a title of a song that I sang with my choir at my church.welcome . you will get better in time sweetie . I have chronic ptsd cuz of the events that happened to me when my mom died five and half years ago and what my dad did to me four years ago . my therapist did a dual awareness exercise with me in counseling last year to help to deal with what my dad did to me four years ago . she made me " revisit " the traumatic event . my therapist and I worked on it for two sessions in a row . she made me revisit the event slowly to let it surface and my feelings came out during the exercise . Diagnosis: Anxiety and depression meds : Cymbalta 90mgs at night Vistrail 2 25 mgs daily for anxiety prn 50 mgs at night for insomnia
