CPTSD

CPTSD

I'm new here and a bit unsure of where to start.

I'm married with 2 kids (1y/o and a new born). I was diagnosed with CPTSD/Anxiety/Depression as a result of childhood trauma.

As a result, I struggle to maintain relationships/friendships and have no family support due to the abuse I sustained as a child.

I also found out my husband had been sexting another woman whilst I was pregnant with our second child. Naturally it was and is completely soul destroying.

I guess I'm here as Motherhood is lonely and I'm feeling more isolated than ever. I don't really like "people" generally speaking because of my lived experience but I'm craving connection. I'm also feeling really disconnected from my Husband as now he's just another person in my life who has let me down.

Is there anyone who can comment on how they find and maintain meaningful connections with others when they have CPTSD? Or even just some words of wisdom please.
