Not so new but new here.

👋 all I have been a part of the mighty since early 2017 when I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation type 1 and Syringomylia. Rheumatoid, and hyper Thyroid issues run in the family along with other autoimmune disorders, dupitrins contractions and planter fashitis (pretty thats mispelked). We also have Mental health or personality disorders as well.

I didn't ever really come on here till now. After having my son in 2021 I developed severe postpartum depression. It eventually disappeared on its own kinda, it just lessened to depression.I was battleing addiction that had started because of my Chiari diagnosis and decompression surgery. In summer of 2022 i got clean and stayed clean. I went to a psychologist who was in the company of my rehab/general therapist. I was diagnosed with general anxiety, social anxiety, depression, bipolar, and having borderline personality disorder traits. I have recently VERY recently got away from trauma and abuse. I am almost 💯sure I have C-PTSD. Are there other forms of trauma bonding, abuse, PTSD out there what are common symptoms? I have something really weird going on and I dont even know how to really explain it . It i don't know if it's a symptoms concerning my Chiari and surgery site or if its a mental, psychological issue from the trauma. Any similar backgrounds out there? Even not general answers would be appreciated as well. Thnx everyone.

Every two to three months, I recall everything at once.All involved and all that have turned the other way. The past six to eight years seem to be an package deal.I am tired of going backwards,looking for facts, from those who are and were involved.Do I need to, yes.I will beable to move forward but not at the pace I should have.I was purposefully set up to fail.I will never forget that.I can forget again and I most likely will.They are never going to admit what they have done, ever.I cannot justify staying here knowing that I was set up to suffer, to question my reality, to phase me out.I do not have the support circle I felt proud to have.They chose to punish me instead of communication and grace.I cannot give others, what they do not give me.I will not go back.I can keep working towards a calmer reaction.I can have a decision without panick chasing it out the door.Panicking will not set things right.I need to stop to see my way forward and go.I could have and I regret not doing exactly what they told me to do.I will forgive myself but them, how do I, if they deny all of it.I would rather move away from the environment and be alone.There is no difference than my life here now.There is no we, no us or our.There hasn't been in six years, by his choice, not mine.I was the last to know but was the first to know he was pretending.Facts.

Thoughts on IFS therapy?

Hello All, I’m wondering if you’ve had any experience with IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy, and, if so, how you think it’s working. I struggle with complex PTSD as result of longterm abuse and neglect. I sought EMDR but my new therapist seems to gravitate more to IFS with a little EMDR thrown in but not the focus. I was more interested in EMDR but am now confused which is more beneficial. All thoughts welcome.
