I was diagnosed with bi-lateral temporal lobe epilepsy.

I did not remember being abused until about about 15 yrs ago. I was diagnosed as having cPTSD. I do dissociate. There are about 5 or 6 “different” parts in me.

In order to “make myself behave”, I’ve used “god” to “punish” myself. I thought my abuser was “god.” I then was diagnosed with Religious Scrupulouslity. A subset of OCD.

I have a team of Dr’s. My neuropsycholgist + trauma therapist work together with me.

I just didn’t understand what people meant when they told me I am punishing myself.

It’s as though the other parts of me try to torment me.

I would like a kind comment, maybe just some insight.

On Dec 12, 2034, my sister committee suicide. We had the same abuser.

Everything that you have said has been me and my life (I have been living in pure hell, living in a prison of and within myself)! It has been sososososososo hard and extremely a lot to deal with and grasp and the…”why me”. You said it all, straightforward, exactly and to the point head on. I really needed this so much because all I have been thinking about is wanting to die and I have tried to kill myself several times (but, God won’t take me)! I was on line trying to research of how to become and advocate and typed in something else and it lead me to you. I pray to GOD that my life’s past will stop haunting me and it is extremely hard and yes I am also a rescuer as well (toxic people), I try to avoid people at all cost and it just seems as God places these types of people in my life and paths. I am tired of this and this life and I want better mental health, life and living. I told my son that if my life does not change by the time I get to the age of 55 years old, that I will kill myself and I mean that and meant that. I am going on 52 in October and if by 55 my life has not changed I will end my life if not before, but I am trying to hold on. Everyday is a struggle for me just to live and seriously! And because of you right not and the insights of this website it has given me hope to hold on because, I was tired of fighting to try. Now that I have more information and understanding my mental issues, I will return to therapy and use this as a guide to tell my story alike in which you did! The website like that I originally Googled was Psychology Today (psychology today.com) “Understanding PTSD” 10-Common Patterns seen in unresolved relational trauma. I really, really, really like to say thank you so much and this is something that I will be sharing with so many people, but it has to begin with me first (not really like that)…but making those steps to get the additional help. Thank You

Hey Cat,

Many forms of support for CPTSD can take place online, just as successfully as in person, thanks to Zoom and other platforms. I was hesitant at first, but I now recognize that telehealth is a valuable alternative, when local resources aren’t available.

Hey Julia, I would personally recommend that you reach out to NAMI (https://www.nami.org/Home) in your area, they are a great resource. They have amazing online support groups on a variety of topics as well, and everything is free. I offer a lot of free resources on my website as well, all geared towards complex, childhood, and sexual trauma, one of my most popular pages being the Self-Healing Video Library that you can access here: https://www.littlewavecoaching.com/self-care-videos

Like Shirley so beautifully said, remember that you are not alone. Keep reaching out, as we are all in this together, and wonderful sites like the C-PTSD Foundation allow us to know and feel that more than ever before.
