It seems like there is some interest in this:

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?

    Thanks a lot for your response.

    I just need to vent somewhere that it really hurts being thrown out of reddit this way and now realizing that after being very hopeful that Beehaw will be my new home that very crucial communities won’t be established over here for awhile :'( Not sure if I will stick around then…

    I still get why you decided this way and am not trying to tell you to do otherwise. I’m just really frustrated and sad right now

    ETA: searched on raddle and even there I can hardly find any mental health related forums :/
