I definitely have CPTSD, which I discovered 2 years ago on the "Crappy childhood fairy" youtube channel. The most significant word I have ever heard in my life is "Dysregulation" because it explains exactly what happens to me when i get stressed. I was amazed and happy to know that there was a word for what happens to me when I get stressed and that it was a "thing" not just my imagination. I love that this is in the ICD-11 "If functioning is maintained it is only through significant additional effort" because this has been my life since I was 2 or 3 years old. It's not my fault!!

I think it's absolutely shocking that the DSM doesn't account for prolonged childhood trauma despite the amount of evidence that has been presented about the effects of this type of trauma. Thank God for the ICD because I would not have discovered at nearly 40 years old that I've been suffering with cPTSD for many many years 🙏. Now, at last, I have a diagnosis given to me by my UK therapist and so treatment options to help me manage such a complex mental and physiological health issue. And thank you, Dr, for explaining it all so thoroughly to increase my knowledge on the matter x

the feeling numb and not hyper vigilant then having the tsunami of emotions is a particularly difficult issue... i am not able to express my true emotions in front of people, i numb out... but when i do feel, i feel to the point that i cant cope and again have to "check out" to survive. Because I'm not able to show people the depth of this, i am often ignored or told "you seem fine".... I know Im not... its such an awful way of being. Im desperate for someone to see how deep my feelings are, but my survival instnct wont let me ... its truly awful.

i have cptsd and ptsd both. im finally no contact with my abusive mother and sister. scapegoat no more.

[TranscendingTrauma]

Hallelujah! I think all the personality disorders are just different maladaptive expressions of coping mechanisms to the trauma. They are different ways of reacting to the CPTSD

[foundthiscool]

Well-described.
I'd like to emphasize for anyone reading this that while an accurate diagnosis *is* crucial, what matters most is what we *do* about it.
Recovery is possible, but it is hard work and can take many years to see improvement.
Best wishes!

I started therapy 3 years ago at age 49, and from the onset learned that I present all the 'classic' signs of C-PTSD. I score 9/10 on the ACEs criteria. I also have a number of stress-related physical illnesses that I'm told are incurable. C-PTSD is a death sentence. Both my parents are narcissists and my stepfather was a psychopath. These people are best left to fester in their own toxicity as they don't believe; and never will believe they have done anything wrong, even when their actions are illegal. Other than my therapist, here in the UK, there is no available support, perhaps due to my age. I wish all listeners here every encouragement in their recovery and to live a meaningful and purposeful life. Keep going!

[markolivares]

Yes, you are exactly right. Your view of CPTSD rightfully encompasses a whole patchwork of diagnoses. For years I've received my diagnoses piecemeal. Finally, at 66 years old -- 3 years ago-- I began to remember my childhood ritual abuse. Even though life isn't easy, I appreciate that there is a more coherent diagnosis. It's it's easier for me to understand and easier to explain to others. Most importantly it removes the stigma attached to many cognitive problems, memory problems, executive function problems, etc.

This lesson on cPTSD is what I needed. I was beginning to lose faith in my psychologist’s diagnosis because my family constantly gaslights me and psychologically attempts to control me. I know how much they love me. They provide for me financially at the moment because I busted my knee and changed jobs. my Mom has done what she can to support me, but what I need to heal is something that can’t be attained in a short period of time, ESPECIALLY if my truth is not allowed to be brought to light by all of my family members (I wonder why). So despite the amount of love I know that exists between us, I can’t let go, how much they’ve hurt me, due to unwillingness to hear and understand my condition. I can give them this diagnosis, and the symptoms, and how they present within myself, but they literally don’t want to hear it. I’m doing everything I can with the little strength I have left, to become self-sufficient, so I can live on my own. Those with the condition know how difficult this is. My 80 lb bag feels like it weighs a ton right now. I don’t know when the load will become literally unbearable, but for now, I just gotta get through tomorrow. I made it through today, which makes tomorrow seem a little less daunting. Thank you for your thorough explanation Dr. It brought me peace and will hopefully help me sleep better tonight. God bless and may we all continue to conquer the challenges life tends to throw our way :)

Its what's happening to me and I'm 61 years old it's a nightmare I'm glad you made this public. It's absolutely real I know because I'm living it that's how I know.

[betterworld]

Thanku so much, ur videos r giving me a new life, i have been exposed to all kind of trauma since my childhood with no one to help, no family no friends, only me surviving through all the scars like u said it is like running a marathon with 80kg rucksack on your head u just dragging urself to the finish line, so hard to live like this, i hope one day i will overcome my life. Sometimes i just don't know what my trueself want, always have been very confused when deciding what's the right option.

[snidelywhiplash]

Wow, finally a description that fits my symtoms. There is hope. Excellent

[kathyadair]

Thanks Doc! ... I've been waiting, forever, for this -- since, April.
Much appreciated!

[robinkahle-solymos]

Thank you for posting this vlog. I learned new information and it confirmed my diagnosis'. Thanks again Doctor!😊

[azazel]

This helped me understand my ptsd diagnosis alot more, and where certain issues that I didn't realize were connected, came from.

[jamesfrancis]

That was a fantastic and informative video.. it subtly sidesteps the top down pressure in thinking from cPTSDs exclusion from the dsm 5 and the spin off effects in what is essentially misdiagnosis in North America.

[janefazakerley]

Thank you Doctor Snipes. You have helped tremendously with your videos. Much love

Growing up in a dysfunctional family, racial discrimination, struggling thru poverty, having well over 50 street fights, being shot multiple times, being stabbed in the face another time stabbed in the leg, being jumped beaten and robbed f, set up by so called friends and having house broken in to and vandalized - the list goes on and on . Does this qualify for one feeing chronic Ptsd ? 😵‍💫😵💀

[ThatOneMan]

As an aspiring fiction writer who has interest in portraying PTSD and C-PTSD with respect and dignity instead of fantasizing/fluffing it up/falling into stock inaccurate and offensive tropes, this is a godsend. I don’t have either - a fact for which I am thankful - but that does not give me free reign to treat a real, horrible thing as a plaything. Research is critical even when writing about unreality.

A lot of my older high school writing about traumatized characters makes me cringe extremely hard now for a reason.
