Thanks for Being Here!

​My name is Rebecca, and I am glad you're here. 

 

I began to develop CPTSD as a child and spent decades being treated for depression. CPTSD is an anxiety disorder. Depression is a mood disorder. The depression medications masked some of my symptoms but left me emotionally numb. I cannot get back those years, and want to raise awareness so others can receive proper treatment earlier.

​

This is a community of people with many symptoms in common, and yet most of us feel completely alone. I want to break the silence. 

I did not choose my traumatic childhood, and I refuse to be ashamed of the effects.

​

About Me:
I am a Smith College graduate with a degree in Economics. My work experience ranges from accounting to business process engineering to my current role as a Lead Business Analyst working for a major bank in regulatory reporting. 

​​

I married the love of my life in 2025, and for the first time have peace in a home with another person. We share our home near Dallas, Texas with 5 dogs and 5 cats, mostly rescues. Adopting animals was how I filled my empty heart during my first marriage, and now they're our family.
