Thanks for leading a support group. I love to see more options for people to get support through the human experiences.

I did not realize there is the distinction of Complex PTSD. From reading the description, I would have just lumped them together. For those who aren’t aware like I was, the ICD recognizes CPSTD but the DSM does not yet. This is a pretty in-depth description: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7919312/

This is awesome! Finally someone that understands mental health & privacy! Bravo, @kwpcoriv@discuss.online ! I'd like to join...but how do I use the link? Sorry--I've been a signal user for a while but haven't joined a group based on a link. My browser said the group didn't exist.

edit: nvm. Didn't work in Firefox, but I tried Brave and it worked.
