    Welcome to the community @19matt88 :) It's great to have you here, and it's fantastic to hear that you'd like to help other members through sharing your experiences. We have plenty of other members who live with PTSD, including CPTSD, so you're more than welcome to connect with other members. 

    I've moved your post into our category for discussions relating to mental health, and renamed it slightly, so that it's easier for other members to find. 

    Are you receiving enough support for your CPTSD at the moment? I'm sure getting a slightly new diagnosis must be difficult, but hopefully it'll help you to make sense of how you've been feeling.

    Hi, could I ask if it has taken long to receive cptsd diagnosis?  I believe I may have it too ?
