Is there a CPTSD community anywhere? (self.neurodivergence)

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

Definitely interested, if beehaw is willing to open a new community while also adjusting to the influx.

Shit, I'll moderate it if it will help it happen. I'm still not up to speed with lemmy, but the r/cptsd community is too damn important to not migrate (I lurked there, but it has pulled me through some very bad times)

If beehaw isn't ready for new communities yet, we can find a spot somewhere, I'm sure. Or start using the one on lemmy.ml (or wherever it is)
