Celeste Roberge’s sculpture “The Weight of Grief” #art

Learned a new word related to one of my early #Trauma responses: alexithymia. The inability to identify or describe emotions. Someone asks how you feel and you genuinely don't know. The connection between internal state and conscious awareness is severed. #ptsd #CPTSD

Futility is resistant!

With DID, BPD, and cPTSD, I will never understand how those things could make someone more attractive or why someone wants to have them. Some people seem to think that those things "spices up" a relationship or that they will have a life full of crazy adventures. (1/2)

I at some point (Probably either before emigrating to europe or if I give up on ever living my hell country). Want to perhaps get a therapist to see if I may have CPTSD... The symptons have always sound similar to stuff I've lived and live.

✨️ Great idea 💡

If I had a T.A.R.D.I.S., I would like to go back to my beginnings to see what they did to me. Where and to what time would you go?

Taking refuge🪷

Neglect can be worse than abuse - 'nothing' is harder to work with than 'something. Also, we know that an abused baby may live, but a seriously neglected baby will die of 'failure to thrive'.

I appreciate this, I’ve been working w/ my therapist on recovery challenges I feel are tied to the invisibility of neglect. Working with self-blame & shame at times is hard w/o overt abuser to direct anger towards, my anger “naturally” gravitates towards myself.

I was thinking about the meaning of abandonment. The way I understand it, it implies a presence, a care, that at some point ceases to be. What if it never was? Sometimes I think I don't understand fear of abandonment, because I feel I've always been in an abandoned state. #Abandonment #Healing

I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and scored Neither. I am apparently the control group. german.millermanschool.com

This was VERY instructional for my hyper-observational CPTSD/AuDHD ass at 14. People assume bad people LOOK bad. Nope.

I just saw a heartwarming video of a dad finding a creative and fun way to make his daughter injest medicine. 🥹 In her place, I would have experienced violence of sorts. And yet, I catch my brain trying to come up with all manners of speculative reasons, why my parents didn't have another choice.

I think of myself as being authentic, despite its consequences. I deem myself incapable of putting up an act or faking it until I make it. But… What if I'm wrong? What if CPTSD twists oneself in ways one doesn't even know about? If I ever was somebody different than now, I have no memory of it…

Don't know about you guys, but I could use an oxytocin overdose right about know. Keep strong, one night at a time. #CPTSD #DSPS #N24

I've been watching Tim Fletcher's videos on #CPTSD for weeks now. The more I watch and try to understand, the more I feel that I'll never heal. And there's sooo much stuff I don't understand. It's clear that I need support and I wish there were an offline community of people interested in healing…
