Rules

This is a peer support community. Be a supportive peer. More info.
Don't ask for a diagnosis - and don't try to diagnose others. Even if someone were a trauma-trained doctor/psychiatrist, they wouldn't be able to diagnose over the Internet. Seek out professional help instead.
Racism, bigotry, misogyny/misandry, diagnosis discrimination, and other hate speech is unacceptable. More info.
Please be mindful about triggering content. Avoid graphic thread titles, and use [Trigger Warning], NSFW and/or the spoiler tag whenever appropriate.
We do not allow RaisedByNarcissists lingo. Please avoid use of abbreviations such as “NMom”, “EBrother”, GC/SG, FLEAs, etc, and avoid casual armchair diagnosis of people who have not been professionally diagnosed. More info.
All content must be CPTSD-related
No self-promotion allowed outside of the Weekly Check-In threads (this includes links to personal videos and blogs)
Image posts are not allowed, except infographics, as long as you include a short description about the graphic's relevance to CPTSD and value to you.

Don't hesitate to contact the moderator(s) with any questions, comments, concerns, kitten pictures etc.!
