-I get in an fight/ flight modus when people I love or like, makes me feel unsafe. Thinking they are going to hurt, abonnen or abuse me..
Be patient, I will come back after a while, and then be able to talk in a calm state.
-I handle stress badly, so as much as possible I try to stay in a calm state. So please don't stress me, lol

People with PTSD often get triggered by someone or something, thats why they avoid socializing

I have severe CPTSD. I was surprised there was a name for what I've been living with. The points Dr.Snipes states are all 100% true. I live daily seeing the "leftovers"...the scars from my perpetrator. Makes it way too hard to forget. How do we deal with that? 😢
Thank you and God bless

Triggered my girlfriends DV trauma by saying things to her when i was drunk. That blew up so bad that she said she doesnt want to see me and she needs space. Said she doesn't feel the same way about me at the moment and she doesn't know how long it will take for her to feel better. Just asked me for space...from being part of the daily life, I am now nobody. She said she understands and knows I am sorry but she said it doesn't change how i feel. She had a massive physical reaction when we met to try and discuss things however that didn't last long as i could see she was really uncomfortable. So i excused myself. No contact now at all and all i can do is wait. God knows how much i hate myself for triggering her and how sorry i am but it is what it is and I might lose her for good.

If you are in a relationship with someone with PTSD, cPTSD or Borderline personality, what symptom of theirs do you struggle with most, and what strategy helps you cope?

I actually have cptsd along with mdd and anxiety. nobody really understands about the crowds and how it triggers me. I just need someone I know next to me especially at line in the store or at the mall

If I could just make all my family and friends watch this them my life would become a whole lot better.

OMG thank you so much for this video. It describes my actions to a t. I also suffer from ADHD and autism.

The superintendent at the blind School bullied and harrassed me. I kept telling him that I did not feel safe and I kept asking for a union representative and he kept denying it.

I asked three times and he kept bullying me over and over and over. Are publicly requested his notes and he kept saying that I was emotional about the situation and he could not understand why I was afraid of him. I finally got up and ran out of the room after telling him multiple times that I feared him.

I have read his notes hundreds of times and this video makes it clear why I did not feel safe.

He is a superintendent with a psychology degree and he does not understand my behavior. He also demoted me and then wanted to fire me because of my behavior. He refused to put me on FMLA when I told him I was having a mental health breakdown due to my toxic workplace.

Thanks again for what you do.

As a victim/ survivor of causes of diagnosis cptsd.
I recommend I stay single and not interested in commiting to anyone but myself care from it all.

I have CPTSD and was married for 30 years to a spouse who has BPD and I don't recommend it. Tip one: Don't do it. Tip two: Don't do it. You can't fix broken & this was not for a lack of trying. Even though we divorced over a decade ago and have not so much as communicated with one another since then, they still suffer with the same condition & so do I. The symptom that caused the most distress was their ability to lie and manipulate the system in order to cause the most damage to my reputation as possible. The only way to cope was to finally terminate the relationship. Cheers

THANK YOU for that description of some of the dysfunctional issues that arrive for those with disorders, remedies for care givers of those with disorders to manage, since i've experienced the test of it and no need to elaborate here.

Yes, yelling with sporting games or video games like some people do can startle you
