Cptsd looking for friendship

[Mistyplutonia]

Hi my name is Sia I'm living with social anxiety and undiagnosed cptsd. I'm a 23 year old student struggling with my social life in College. My cptsd and s/anxiety affects my life every minute of the day.

I'm wanting to meet people who are around my age and struggling with similar things. I'm new here I don't know how this works but please feel free to message me and introduce yourself.

No judgment here.

Hi Mistyplutonia! 

Welcome to Out of the FOG! It sounds like you are dealing with a lot of issues and glad you found us. Since you have identified yourself as someone suffering from Complex Post Traumatic Disorder, or CPTSD, we want to make you aware of a couple things as you settle in.

At Out of the FOG, we often welcome members who are dealing with CPTSD as a consequence of having been in a relationship with someone who suffers from a personality disorder. We recognize that CPTSD sufferers have a distinct and unique set of concerns and issues they are dealing with and recognized the need for a separate forum. So we helped launch Out of the Storm - a support site specifically designed for people who suffer from CPTSD - Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We encourage you to check it out in addition to the resources linked below.

Here at Out of the FOG, we discuss our relationship issues as they pertain to the other people in our lives with a PD and welcome your participation. This support community functions through discussions that take place here on the open boards, versus through private groups and messages. We have a range of sub forums where you can go to ask questions and engage with others.

We also encourage you to be sure and check out these links:
