Hello everyone xx
I have been abused most of my life , was bullied everyday during childhood and was also emotionally abused ( family ).
I am also about to leave an abusive realtionship that i have been in for over 20 years.
I have done a lot of research and i do beleive that i suffer from PTSD.
How do i go about getting a diagnosis and what happens?
Thank you x x

From what you have described, I would be willing to bet that you have chronic PTSD, (due to nasty things going on over an extended period of time) rather than PTSD which follows a single horrific incident. It is important to find a doctor who knows the difference between these two, as the treatment can differ.
Good luck on your journey! Many of us have been there and hopefully, we can provide support.
