CPTSD has literally destroyed my life. I thought when I became an adult and had freedom it would get better but now it's almost ten times as hard.

figuring out who i am has been a trip. and realizing every single bit of your personality from your favorite color to the clothes you wear was formed by my trauma was really a mind fuck

CPTSD has destroyed my memory. Ya'll don't understand how badly any form of PTSD can fuck up your brain and memories.

And if the trauma starts early enough, there is nothing to go back to. You can’t be a toddler again.

I just want to get to where my body isn't in fight or flight 24/7. I've given up on figuring out who I am.

I dont agree, when your trauma arrives when you re a toddler / at the very beginning or first years of your life, there is no version of you before that

right?! That feeling of wanted to be who you use to be but knowing that that is not possible. I actually thought to myself the other day. what do I like to do? What hobbies have I not had the chance to try yet? it's a scary journey but it can be very rewarding.

its not a "one is better" comparison this is just saying that there are different goals for the different versions of ptsd

For a while we didn’t know I had CPTSD so I always struggled with knowing who I was before the trauma. Because I wasn’t never someone without trauma before it started. Now I’m learning to be myself and be a person without trauma. In a way it makes me feel like a baby because I have to learn everything about myself.

After dealing with it for 30 years I finally flipped the table and realized I get to make my own expectations, and nothing else matters.
