    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I have PTSD. I also have DID or MPD and anxiety Disorder. I have been disagnosised bulimic. I was raised in a satanic cult and have PTStress from triggers that come from these episodes. I was also raped as a young adult and have frequent times that it is hard to tell the difference between if it is happening now or in the past. The PTSD is very hard but i am working on staying grounded and using my techniques to try to stay as present as possible.
