What c-PTSd might feel like #cptsd #ptsd #childhoodtrauma #mentalhealth #selfesteem #anxiety

One way it manifests for me is my inability to do things. Most days I can't even get myself to relax by playing a video game because it feels like too much work. So I'll just sit alone, lonely, and having intense flashbacks all day.

Therapy has helped me so so so much with all of these and now they are very rare in my life. If these are happening in your daily life get the support you need.. you are worth it!

I was technically an “adult” When I had my first initial trauma followed by long term abuse for a few years, and the people pleasing trait is very real for me. I’ve found that my progress has been measured in how I’m just now managing to have just a couple more good days than before, gradually in progression, after spending years trying to detangle the deeply enmeshed beliefs and triggers and their causes. It takes work and IMMENSE self awareness but eventually you start to see that you are greater than what happened to you.

I have recently thought I really need to see someone about my mental health. This sounds so much like me

[perandersson]

I've had all of this my entire life even though it has lessened with age and self-work.

One huge thing that makes it so much harder to resolve is the feeling of being inferior and stupid for having these traits. As if it's our fault that we are the way we are.
That makes it harder to admit the ways we're dysfunctional, to others and to ourselves, which delays help.

I thought I had ADHD but now I think it might be cPTSD.

This is how I feel all the time since I have complex PTSD and it's harder to treat

I know I'm late and stuff but, I was diagnosed with Ptsd, just ptsd. And I noticed I had a lot of symptoms of c-Ptsd and others, but I stopped seeing a therapist. Now I hate my body and my personal image, and I have a lot of trust issues, Attachment issues, abandonment issues, and I struggle to say no a lot as that was a bad thing for me to do. I don't know what I'm supposed to do or if I should get checked again but I'm afraid to mention it to my family

Me… but how do you change yourself when that’s who you’ve been since childhood? I’m tired of numbing my pain.

[mellissajones]
