Hi guys,
Yesterday I went to the doctor about my MH and whilst talking she highly believes I have C-PTSD. Although PTSD is something that has never crossed my mind, looking online and the things my doc told me it seems likely-although I am on route for diagnosis now and I am not trying to self-diagnose as such.
I just wanted to know everyone's personal symptoms and how to cope with it?
Even if it doesn't end up being PTSD and some other disorder it would be nice to be educated on this topic as the only PTSD representation I have seen/had is from the movies lol
