On Growing Up In A Traumatic Household
TW: talk of multiple forms of abuse So, I have C-PTSD and I don’t really know what to do with that information. It feels impossible to find adequate, affordable therapy. It feels like I’m never going to get over it. It feels like the world is against me. I can’t even press charges against my abuser because the police are refusing to prosecute. I just…. I don’t even know what I want. I’ve had PTSD since like… 7 years old and at this point I thought it was normal to feel the way I do. I guess it’s not. Does anyone else feel this way?
I have CPTSD. From cult abuse. Not going to say anymore, too triggering. Been hospitalized inpatient multiple times. Lost a good job because of it. Just starting to come out the other side of it after about 27 years of therapy. You can recover some but I agree finding a good therapist is not easy.
this is how i feel it will be with me. i feel like i go to therapy and it uncovers more issues and it hurts more and more and i don’t know if it’s ever going to end. i hate that you went through that. 💔 i hate relating to people on cptsd.
Yup CPtsd , is just really tough to deal with. I'm so sorry you are all dealing with this. I am in therapy for multiple traumatic events. Some in childhood some as recent as 2 years ago. I think I'll end up spending the rest of my life looking for peace. I've been trying but days like today make me wish I was a ghost. Anxiety right out of bed this morning and ending the day with major depression. Ugh oh and my insurance doesn't cover my therapist...for goodness sake when you need medical help you should get it. Right!!? You are not alone I'm praying for all of us, thank you 7 cups for helping us connect and support each other. 💜 ABB ( btw my abusers got away with it too)
I’m so sorry about what happened in your childhood. It’s NEVER. A child’s fault. Never. But the trauma stays with you and your personality is usually affected by this. High anxiety, pain that can’t be soothed, etc. free therapy / psych clinics are almost always available. You can call the city you are in for these resources. They are free clinics but the help is pretty great since they see the worst of the worst. DBT therapy helped me. I found a clinic that didn’t charge me , sliding scale. I hope this helped in some way. Take care of your soul
