I suspect I have c-ptsd due to 2 abusive relationships. I've been out of the last abusive relationship for 2 years and I am doing pretty well. I don't too often have SI, I get anxiety with certain triggers but don't have it too often. My main issues still are replaying the experience over and over, disassociating, fatigue and freeze mode. I've learned a lot of coping skills the last few years and I'm doing much better but I just saw a new therapist today and he suggested meds. I haven't done them before and I'm considering it. I'm worried about side effects. I'm worried about feeling worse. I'm a single mom with chronic health issues and I have to work hard to keep my mental and physical health issues balanced. I get nervous about throwing something new into the mix in an effort to feel better and actually feeling worse.

Anyways, did you see any improvement in your ambition, confidence, productivity, brain fog with medication?

I feel like I won't be truly healed until I can beat my ex husbands ass at least a few times. But apparently that's still illegal 🙄
