Many CPTSD survivors start the day feeling exhausted. That's because our tiredness isn't due to lack of sleep (though that doesn't help).
It's due to the cumulative stress of bullies & abusers having infiltrated our head & heart, so our inner world isn't even safe.

Depression, attachment disorders, CPTSD, PTSD, dissociative episodes, and that's just the ones I can think of right now. Poor kids. Their world got blown apart.

You're not minimizing anything : You are in an abusive relationship with your government (same as us here in France), and that's closer to CPTSD than PTSD, tbh

Stumbled over this video a couple of nights ago in the midst of a bout of being triggered out of my mind. It doesn't happen very often anymore that bad but it's still an issue and I wondered if a dysregulated nervous system is a piece in the puzzle of my healing

That's what boot camp does to one: instils unquestioning conformity, compliance, and obedience, to get soldiers through initial shock without freezing... The PTSD and CPTSD still occur, because war is unnatural, and trauma is lasting.

This has perhaps been the most painful part of my healing path. I never had something to go back to. I don't know what my life would have been like had I been raised in safety.
It has, however, given me the opportunity to create a safe life of my choosing.

CPTSD isn't just PTSD.
It usually grows out of trauma that repeated. Months. Years. A childhood.
I thought the harsh inner voice was my personality. It was training. Training can change.

I identify with a the diagnosis of complex PTSD or CPTSD
it’s regular PTSD plus prolonged exposure to abusive controlling manipulative circumstances for lengthy periods of time
Those help me sense distress in others I supposed

Top 10 Reasons You Might Already Be in a “Cult” (And Not Know It)
Cult survivor, military veteran, and bestselling author of Uncultured & The Cutting of America, Daniella Mestyanek Young further dives into the investigation of invisible systems of control shaping our lives. Raised in the notorious s*x cult the ChiIdren of God, she escaped to America as a teenager—only to find herself inside another rigid institution: the U.S. Army. Years later, as a Harvard-trained expert in organizational psychology, she began asking an important question: What if we’re all in cults?

My understanding is EMDR is well suited for PTSD; though in my old support Royo some with cPTSD did find it useful. I decided for me a few years in relational therapy was my best help :) Trying EDMR didn't cause any harm though ; so I would say give it a go !

The results of the election have absolutely given me hope once again. Unfortunately, it's not enough to end the PTSD trauma cycles that started last week after discovering the VA now triggers my gender dysphoria AND *waves hands frantically* cPTSD/PTSD trauma. This is only step 1.

I have been seen as subhuman my whole life for being in extreme poverty, and having PTSD, cPTSD, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (the PTSD from when I was 4 years old, and cPTSD having been from the 13 years and counting of barely making it). Those from both sides have blamed me for all of it.

I've known about the ADHD since I was a kid. I used to be medicated for it. I knew I had *some* form of PTSD since I was 19.
A few months ago I started to accept I might also have some form of autism (lol to those it was obvious to), CPTSD, and very likely trauma-induced BPD.

I have spent most of my life addicted to alcohol and drugs.
Since being clean I have been diagnosed as having both PTSD and cPTSD.
It turns out my addiction wasn't a moral failing, but a public health issue.
As it is with the majority of people.
The war on drugs was always a war against the poor.

Take 1 or 2 and leave the rest. You don't have to take it all on all at once. I've already started giving myself credit for my growth. I think I'll also look for some magic.
