r/CPTSD
A support community for those affected by C-PTSD
Founded December 2012 · Public — anyone can post
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is rarely discussed in public forums, even though healthy connection to others is an integral part of healing. This is a peer support community for those who have undergone prolonged trauma and came out the other side alive and kicking, but with wounds that need tending. This is also a place for friends and family of the victims to come for support.

r/CPTSD — frequently asked
How many members does r/CPTSD have?
r/CPTSD has 480,853 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 17. Prowlo re-checks tracked communities on a rolling schedule, so this figure moves rather than sitting frozen at whatever it was when a scraper last ran.
Is r/CPTSD growing?
Over the last ≈34 days r/CPTSD changed by +1.9% — a gain of 8.9K members. We compare against the nearest snapshot we actually hold and state the real span rather than rounding it to a clean "30 days".
How active is r/CPTSD?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/CPTSD yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the next sample lands.
When was r/CPTSD created?
r/CPTSD was founded in December 2012 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.
Can I promote my product in r/CPTSD?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/CPTSD yet. Default to the safe approach: read the sidebar rules, contribute in threads where you gain nothing, and mention your product only when it is the honest answer to someone's question.
How do I monitor r/CPTSD for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/CPTSD into your Dataset — every new post indexed and embedded, searchable semantically, queryable by your AI agent over MCP, and able to trigger keyword alerts in Slack. Prowlo is read-only; it never posts on your behalf.
Can my AI agent read r/CPTSD's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/CPTSD's members, growth, promo tolerance and similar communities as typed JSON — free, no credits. Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
