Dear Lisa,

there is another great and completely free resource on CPTSD, which I forgot to mention yesterday, and it is the Crappy Childhood Fairy youtube channel. If you are interested, you can start with this video: Complex CPTSD explained. She explains why we get CPTSD, what are the typical symptoms, and she has plenty of advice on her channel about what to do to help ourselves.

You mentioned a while ago that you suffer from hormonal problems. I don’t know if you’ve received treatment for it, but even that can be a symptom of CPTSD.

Anyway, I hope this information is helpful to you and can give you some relief, and perhaps some hope as to how to proceed.
