I’ve used https://reddit.com/r/cptsd as a support group for awhile. It never felt right to post such sensitive discussions onto a platform controlled by a tech company trying to monetize its content, so I was really happy when things like Lemmy began taking off. In my opinion, support communities belong in user-owned spaces like this.

I use Beehaw as a provider, and I thought it might be a good place to host a CPTSD community because of Beehaw’s rules and ethos. I had a look at what’s existing, and this is the closest one I could find. There’s !cptsd@lemmy.ml (am I referring to that correctly?), but it’s dead.

Is anyone aware of a good CPTSD community, or would there be interest/support in creating one on Beehaw?

Edit: I’ve inquired to see how this works: https://beehaw.org/post/554142

    I miss CPTSDFreeze most out of the various cptsd subreddits. It was a really kind community that focused on recovery, but it shut down before the blackout started.

      I feel weird about whole thing. There I definitely found resources to help me but u/sircheesealot had weird behaviours. I don’t blame him though. Life’s a bitch.
