Rediagnosed with Complex PTSD after a decade of misdiagnosis

So, at the start of April this year I had a SA that landed me in the psych ward of my local hospital for a week. During that stay the doctor spoke with me and completely rediagnosed me. I had been told for almost a decade that I had Schizoaffective Depressive Type. However, the doctor had me tell him everything about my past and rediagnosed me with a severe case of Complex PTSD. During my stay, they made me realize that I was being abused one way or another from the time that I was 4 up until my SA (I'm 21). I have been seeing a therapist, but I would really like to talk with people who can relate to me on a better level. It's been really hard making friends because of constantly being hyper vigilant about everything, and over analyzing everything people say to me.
