Complex PTSD
Notifications OFF
I'm just wondering if anyone else has been diagnosed with this?
it's been 8 years for me, covid hit and the investigation took another 2 years ontop of the year I already waited. I was pregnant at the time of the knock and I pushed myself aside because I didn't have any time to think of myself.
every little thing triggers me - police cars, vans, knocks at the door, my phone ringing because of the endless social workers calling..
I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which I thought was the reason , but actually it's because I've had so much trauma for so long that I've had absolutely no help towards and now it's caused complex PTSD.

I've never gone down the path of getting diagnosed but I do think I suffer with some form of it. I purposely always keep my phone on silent and vibration off... all because of SS. I was crippled with anxiety when receiving phone calls off SS and when doing unannounced visits. When my SW did an unannounced visit she would ring me until she got hold of me and/or message me. I even dread receiving post because of when they took us to PLO and dealing with the legal correspondence.
I received a letter in Friday and it wasn't addressed to anyone. When I realised it was from SS I started shaking and had to sit down. Opened it and it was a letter to my Daughted from the SW saying goodbye. Our case has been closed since January- I ripped the letter up and put it in the bin. I just have to keep telling myself that I'm ok xx

So sorry you can relate - sending you strength and hugs if you wish xx
its awful isn't it, because my ex husband has been given umpteen amounts of support, therapy etc and whilst I understand it and agree, it's just bizziare how we're left and our kids!
I was so scared to admit to anything I was feeling as my experiences with social workers were not helpful, despite me doing everything they wanted and I ended the marriage soon as we had the knock.
I have told children's services I don't wish to receive any letters - my post is shocking and imagine that going missing!
please look after yourself as I've ended up with an autoimmune disease ontop of complex PTSD. Unfortunately I can't get any help for this anytime soon , unless I pay but least I know I'm not going crazy ???? xx
