I'm new on here, seen that pppl are all over the place and here all diff times.

I've got complex PTSD and have psychology sessions every week - nearly 12mths now and latest one better than some on counselling. I'm not as bad as I've been but triggers just get me when I least expect and it's out of control again. Anyone else in a sim situ? Thanks

Welcome!

I am new as well. I was told by my therapist I have c ptsd also. Hard to find good support systems when locally I don't know anyone really that could understand. I struggle a lot with triggers and I am feeling like I have to increase my sessions. Just practicing and keeping it when I feel the triggers is the hardest and people around you can make it better or worse.

I tried describing this to someone to understand. For me it's like being strapped on a rollercoaster about to go down a slope, and I'm gripping and holding on to not let it go down but I feel that "pull". So to me physically, mentally and emotionally it's a lot of work. Some cannot understand it.
