Looking for resources for people who have acute trauma

[wait.what]

Hey … so I witnessed a violent crime back when I was a kid. This was the early 80's, and the few victims' services I can find are intended for recent crime victims as the court case against their (or their loved one's) assailant makes its way through the justice system.

Due to some recent triggers, I'm having flashbacks again and basically feel like I'm losing my mind. This is some dark, dark shit, though. Experience has shown me that you cannot talk to normal people about this. That includes most therapists, pastors, and counselors of one kind or another. And you can forget about talking about it with your average person with depression or addiction issues, or whatever it is that everyone has now in the dystopian hellscape of … Friday.

I guess I figured that you guys might be my best bet for finding any kind of resource anywhere. I mean … folks who have seen combat have seen some shit, but that's not my background. I'd feel like a fraud. I don't really know where to go with my story that's so fucking ugly that people actually get mad at me for telling them, even if they actually asked me to tell them. ("Well I didn't expect you to tell me THAT." Great. Thanks, "support" person.)

Just over 4 years ago, I started to get flashbacks from my childhood SA (35+ years after they happened). It's ultimately led me here, from what was a happy and successful life. I never used to display trauma symptoms, but I'm now like a flashing neon advert for CPTSD.

I'm happy to talk, even if our trauma's are different, I may be able to relate.

Honestly, I'm not picky. I'll take whatever you've got. I've come up with zip.

I tried ketamine infusions for my depression for almost a year … I found the experience terrifying. Kind of like if Disney's Haunted Mansion ride flickered unpredictably in and out of a real life version of itself. My sister has had some success with mushrooms, though.
