    My breakdown occurred at 54. My family have buried it. It's as if it's my fault it happened. It started at age 6. I have been diagnosed with CPTSD.

    Been more and more difficult to deal with life while being haunted and plagued by thoughts of what happened before. Pills and therapy do so little.

      I'm with you!! I've always had the opinion that mental health
      therapy is a scam and that the field of psychiatry as a whole
      only functions to rob people of their hard-earned time and money.
      The things that has helped me heal was working out, eating healthy,
      painting, growing my own vegetables, making terrariums for my pet isopods
      and generally just staying busy and taking care of other people and things.
      If you're like me and you like taking care of others more than taking
      care of yourself, the vegetable garden thing can be REALLY good.
      Give each plant a name like "Kevin", "Jessica" or "Michael"
      and if they're in a pot, draw a face on the pot.
      Then allow yourself to not take care of yourself anymore if that's a cause of stress.
      Instead your ONLY job is to take care of "Kevin the cucumber",
      "Jessica the Jalapeño" and "Michael the Microgreen" xD.
      I know that sounds super silly but for me it allowed myself to worry about something else than myself and indirectly my vegetables took care of me as i took care of them. I ate healthier because of them, i saved money on food and i got all the nutrients that was lacking when i tried only taking care of myself instead.
      I can't promise that It'll work for you too but hey, It's worth a shot.
      I hope you get better, my guy/gal :)..

    Healing may be possible in some situations but the kind of unimaginable severe abuse that I endured for 14 years caused CPTSD. My Dr even said most wouldn’t have survived. Coping is possible. Healing is not going to happen.

      My daughter and I can relate. Though we do struggle still, we have a savior to rest upon, His name is Jesus. He has brought us much comfort and given us strength and life worth living.

      Ofcourse healing is possible dear, just forgive yourself, cry, forgive the person and appreciate what that made you.
      Many people never survived that situation but you did, because your a brave and you have a chance to love you more and find your happiness. Forgive the past.

      ​@@NakilijjaRema-ec1twIt is well-intentioned, but it is really inappropriate for you to say that the person should forgive the perpetrator
