plain English for those not in the know.
PTSD= this happened to me.
CPTSD= this is the way it was and it shaped who I am.
Two different beasts.

100%. the anger is overwhelming. you want to stop being mean, snapping at everything, but you're running on fumes and everything is a threat while nothing is a threat.

“If I’m aggressive and I’m angry, then nobody can hurt me” it hurts my heart knowing others feel the same, yet comforting knowing I’m not alone 💔

CPTSD is a b. Year in healing. I am still in my freeze/procrastination mode. I hate tha fact that I was more productive when I was in chaos. And now I have to learn how to function in peace. THIS IS HARD.

We need to learn to embrace anger and sit in self regulation while feeling. The nervous system needs to rewire and reset. I am a CPTSD survivor and also neurodivergent and I have completely healed it. It is possible but will take a few years of letting go of negative emotions and shadow work. You are whole and you are not evil, you just need to accept your shadows and integrate them because you are whole you just got fragmented in the process. You will start understanding what is going on once you start learning about yourself through shadow work and somatic release. Trust me it’s curable.

17 yrs into it, baby…you have to feel it all to let the healing start. Its hard, it drive you nuts, but start accepting what you feel and actively do somatic exercises. You can do this baby. Msg me if you need me.

I'm 39. My whole life has been trauma. Some people don't heal from it and I'm tired being told that. Everything that made me human was robbed from me. EVERYTHING!! I don't know who I am nor can I figure it out now. You just have to be and its absolutely infuriating.

I've been married to my husband for 13 years and he's never so much as looked at me cross. Yet, I still tiptoe. I still remain silent in the house. I'm still living in that situation when I've been out of it for years.
