A few signs of Complex PTSD, which is really about relational trauma and often childhood trauma💔

[mendingmandy]

I have complex ptsd :( I also experience flashbacks especially when stressed out. I have such trust issues and feel like I'm keeping people at arms length even after 5 years of therapy.

Literally everything on this list. And yet, my brain still refuses to believe that I was abused bc I had all my non-emotional needs met

[OneLovefromOregon]

Yep. Had it for over 30.years. I'm grateful for emdr, medication, and talk therapy. It's taken all 3.

One that’s missed farrrr too often is sleep apnea and/or bruxism (grinding teeth) - wish I knew that sooner😒

[TiffanyNib]

Every single one! 💔 😢

For anyone reading this, please remember you matter. I see you. I hear you. I am you.

We all are worthy of healing and recovery! ❤❤❤

Thank you for talking about this. I'm not diagnosed but can tick a lot of the boxes. I'm kind of used to the issues I have, and accepted that I'm gonna be sick my whole life one way or another (I've had different kinds of health issues since a young age), so I haven't really bothered to consult a doctor yet. And even if I didn't have C-PTSD myself, I think it's a serious issue that doesn't get talked enough about.

I'm always just as mind-boggled when I can tick yes in every box. From looking for "what's wrong with me" for 15 years, it's actually pretty amazing while also sad to find a glove that fits like nothing else.

I've been just like this for the past 30yrs,

Exposure to organisms from water damaged buildings with mold, mycotoxins, actinomycetes, endotoxins, mVOCs, etc. also cause all these symptoms. It’s important to address all the root causes of cPTSD bc it’s not only trauma there’s usually infections, toxins, nutrients deficiencies and more accompanying said trauma…sometimes due to the trauma.

“Relationship difficulties “ 😅😂😂 yeah! That’s one way of putting it 😅😰…if we’re able to have a relationship at all 😮‍💨

[lilyjane]

I wonder if the GP who wrote that I possibly wad borderline didn't mix it up with cptsd. If I refer myself to the DSM, I really don't recognize myself in the criterias. I believe I also have a disorganised attachement style...

[davdelmer]

Thanks for being very encouraging and inspiring Kim. I recommend you to all I know..

[Star-]

Yes to all- especially trouble 💤 😴 sleeping 🤦‍♀️

[gphrzol]

I am getting confused with my adhd and cptsd now. My bangali parents were abused as well

If some of these fits does that mean I have Complex PTSD Like before my husband passed I was very jumpy very easy to startle. I also was diagnosed with Anxiety attacks about 3 years ago before my husband passed away. It feels like a heart attack but subsides and nothing Doctor said it was anxiety. I get stressed very easy around crowds of people It’s very stressing on my I was isolated for the last 22 years due to my disability and him never wanting to go anywhere anymore The last 8 years during the covert discard behavior Like ti hVe drove me crazy those 8 years. I have been very forgetful since being a widow and with my Covert Mom passing away and still at the funeral home her IRN was on back order..Is it normal to not remember things I remember the important things some how it’s the day to day crazy things I can’t remember! I’m having trouble deciding it is PTSDComplex or it is loosing my entire family and both Coverts in a few months apart from one another..Any advice I would appreciate I’m not in good place right now I so badly want to be in a better healthier place. I’ve been studying and learning all this for 8 years now finding you has been by the grace of God! Your the Angel I asked for now to find videos to learn more Is the key Thank you for what you do!!

White words squished tight on light background just looking at you sitting there is hard i am dyslexic and have other disabilities so this does not help me i like your content I am a subscriber my phone has word predictions helps me type i am an audio visual person people personal music is just that and can be anoying or distracting trying to find the connection

[katouix]

if I 100% have all of these do I have it? I also have unexplained physical pain everyday. although im not really sure about flashbacks? I don't remember much and don't know one thing specifically that was hard...

[FlyHighShootStraight]

Flashbacks suck. You don't get a choice. They just happen.

That's way too small to read, on a cellphone screen.
