    Hi @kazza1012, welcome to the community ☺️ I'm sure there's a few members who live with complex PTSD around. I hope they'll find your post soon.

    How have you found it? Have you found any therapies or treatments that work well for you?

    That sounds really tough @kazza1012, mental health services are so over stretched and it can be hard to get proper treatment for things these days.

    Those comments about being normalised and it being too late aren't very helpful either, sorry you had to listen to that. I'm by no means a mental health professional but I'm a firm believer that it's never too late to address the tough stuff and try to find the best way to live with what you've been through. It's not easy though, especially if there isn't much help available out there 💛
