Reply to comment by GeebusNZ in TIL of Complex PTSD, which arises from prolonged, inescapable trauma (like child abuse/neglect, sex trafficking, or solitary confinement). It's hard to spot & treat, and can last a lifetime. Victims have a diminished sense of self, and issues with trust, boundaries, cognition, motor skills, & more. by Pfeffer_Prinz

I'm in a similar boat. It's also hard since it's not in the DSM-V, so it's not a diagnosis like ADHD or Depression. It's a weird 'if you know you know' diagnosis. Either way it's nice to have something to describe how I feel.
