Support for those struggling with childhood PTSD

Age 5 for PTSD here too. My psychotic mother tried to kill herself while I watched. Then she tied me up and threw me in the attic. I am forever haunted.

This is a really beautiful post. Thank you 💜

My childhood SA, torture, confinement, child pornography & trafficking started at 7 ended at 15. Everyone tells me to leave the past in the past, get over it, like that’s possible. Dealing with it more now than any time in the past 35 years-it’s so hard-the anger is one of the hardest parts for me. Besides the flashbacks and sensory memories, and dreams. I know it will eventually get better, just wish it was as easy to fix the damage as it was to cause it! {{{Hugs}}}

Thank you. I needed to hear this

Same.

Needed to hear this today

Repeated Sa survivor that first started when I was only 3, along with many other forms of abusive. Still have a very long way to go with healing and processing <3

Yes! Thank you for bringing this up. I've had a counselor recently who said trauma is trauma. You don't look at a bruise and question the type or severity. It's real and valid.

SA Ptsd. Civilian here too!

Civilian ptsd is just as valid ❤️
