i completely identify however haven’t had the correct diagnosis despite asking directly and searching-
born with adhd aud and then cptsd and rhe ocd is in the form of repeating a story or retelling something as if that will fix it and then calling or texting my mother hundreds of times – i suppose thats the mixed attachment style- it’s ruined my life and i’ve been misdiagnosed so many times and not listened to- age 52 still with all running and in muliple different waiting lists- trying to manage my own care with a movement disorder- no one understands because i can explain and see the patterns byt can’t seem to break them even with medication and cbt- i said ahe 16 i thought i had a learning disorder (adhd) and the trauma was fromchildhood and sexual abuse and then eating disorder then addiction so it’s been a living nightmare and then getting retraumatised by the medical profession and some of the therapies and having to repeat the same thing over and over and get no proper help- i haven’t been able to work regularly have any meaningful relationship or keep a household in order despite doing everything in my power- not sure where to turn as if feels like no one understands- i get diagnosed by whichever practitioner i see whatever their speciality is because i can adapt because of the autism- my GP doesnt understand how desparate i have become and how much i struggle because of the overlap and rhat i can articulate- cbt does not work because my thoughts are intrusive and i can’t slow them down enough to identify and replace them even though i try to anyway- it’s a nightmare-

Thank you for this article, this describes my daughter, almost to a tee!! She has severe childhood sexual trauma, CPTSD, ROCD, panic attacks, extreme anxiety and daily seizures caused by trauma!! She needs to find the right therapist to help!! She has 2 small children and can barely function!! I take care of all of them!! Could you direct me to the right therapist??

Thank you for this. I’ve felt a bit unheard and like something was wrong with me at trying to explain almost exactly what you describe here. I really appreciate that you shared your personal experience, it’s been really validating for me
