Struggling to Find a Diagnosis for My Trauma

C-PTSD will still be considered in therapy though that exact diagnosis may not be used it will just fall under PTSD. The difference being "complex". It is still trauma that caused the disorder, it just wasn't ONE instance of trauma, it happened over a period of time with multiple events. Mine was childhood trauma being raised by an alcoholic and it spanned until I was an adult. Later on it was relationship trauma with verbal, physical, and emotional abuse by a significant other. Followed by straight trauma from a relationship with an individual with an addiction and dealing with his lifestyle and ultimately his death. Don't let a diagnosis tell you that you have struggled, you know what you've been through and with the right provider they will get you the help you need and will find the appropriate diagnosis to put down.

Just some info, my therapist told me that next year, C-PTSD will be added to the book. Here's hoping🤞 I do believe that you could currently qualify for PTSD with the right psychiatrist. I know someone who had a nightmare disorder as a child and was diagnosed with PTSD from that. I am sorry that this trauma happened to you.

It's definitely PTSD I'm a Marine. But almost all of my PTSD came from relainonships. I went through very close to the same thing u did. Several times. You believe in a person, some people. Or a belief. Wen your r radeled wen your PERSEPION of reality is shattered. Then u try to fiber it out so it don't happen again. But that's not what u should do. U need to move forward for yourself. Make Responsible take on more through yourself. In to work or your dreams. But most importantly. Be the gate keeper of your own minde and don't let the negativey in u must stay positive or bizzy and stop them thought wen ever they arise
