This is the community I miss the most from reddit and will probably go back at least to it.

But I would love for us to have and option here too and some support group in fediverse.

I am exploring mastadon #cptsd tag and found a way to subscribe to tag, so there are ways for us to connect.

    I want anyone to know that if you’re here, that’s incredible. Like really, this is a complicated place to navigate right now. If you aren’t quite sure, I’m not either, and nobody is because this is so new. You’re amazing, and I will help you understand this place any way I can or we’ll be confused together.

    I’ve been scared of posting because I wasn’t ready, and when I was ready Reddit went to shit lol, but I’m finally ready to really talk and heal

    I’m here from Reddit too. I relied heavily on the group, even though it was mostly lurking. I felt so valid seeing others that shared the same experiences and learned a lot. Hopefully this picks up.

      There were a lot of posts I really wanted to connect to there. I feel you all so hard but it’s still really tough to dive in. I’ve wanted to do so for a long time, and really hope it’s ok

      I will probably go back to Reddit for our community and my country community, those are the main ones I can not expect to get here soon.

      And does not have to, it is nice community even there.

      When I found r/cptsd some years ago, I cound not believe that all posts have basically same problems as I do.

        You’re right, I thought the same thing, I was so happy and not happy we were all feeling the same thing

          I’m glad you all are here. It’s been a fun learning curve actually, figuring this all out, but I’ve never put myself out there before and I wasn’t sure about this part

    sad not to see any posts but i’ll say I’m not good right now cause i’m sick and not good at taking care of myself and to make it worse i’m really bad at describing how i feel or what pain i’m in so there’s a lot of miscommunication and misdiagnosis.

      Thank you for commenting.

      It takes time to learn to communicate, even more our feelings.

      At one point at therapy I understood that my therapist tought me to talk to another person. I was in mid thirties. I realized that in whole childhood no adult was ever talkjg with me. They were ordering me and forbiding me, questioning me… but I never had normal conversation with afult person.

      So I was lacking in social interaction department. But it got better and people now see me as higly communicative, while before I was “introvert”. I now see that “introvert” is just politically correct way to say “traumatized and neglected”.

      I also don’t believe in diagnosis, except it brings you some benefits, we are all individuals and the only difference is how much and in what ways. I get it that some medications help in different situations, but we still need other parts of therapy.

    I miss this community also too the most from reddit. It was one of the most helpful tools for processing stuff I find
