    What i hate most with it is not knowing anything anymore, when to eat or drink, what to eat or drink, what to watch on tv, whether i even want to do something or not. It’s exhausting just trying to make the smallest of decisions.

      I'm having that trouble too. I'm finally in counseling and was trying to explain today how I struggle with the smallest decisions or tasks. That nothing is easy and straightforward anymore. My counselor is pretty good, but it's hard to be patient with the process when you're drowning. However, being able to talk through things with someone has helped me feel more hopeful about my life. I hope you can find some help or someone to listen and show support. Personally I find it difficult to explain to most people, but there are people out there who will understand. If you're not eating well, try to have a couple of basics on hand that are nutritious, such as chicken soup, and something with electrolytes like Gatorade or pedialite. I usually only eat that way when I'm sick, but it's also good if you're struggling to eat or stay hydrated.

      I feel that down to bones. The first day after I left my 31 year marriage to a covert narcissist, my daughter offered to take me to lunch. As she pressed me to decide where I wanted to eat, I couldn't. I ended having a full blown melt down in a parking lot. Just to be clear, she wasn't trying to be mean or rude, she just knew what her father was like and was trying to give me the freedom to choose
      When every single decision you've ever made for 31 years has been wrong, selfish, stupid, inconsiderate, or ignorant even picking food seems monumental. It will be a year next month and I'm still struggling with trying to figure out the rest of my life. I'm paralyzed with fear knowing I have some really big choices to make in the next year. Wish me luck!
      I wish you all the best, both of you. We all deserve to be well. We'll get there..

      Maybe flylady could be helpful, you get schedules a lot and you do not have to decide every little thing but there is a plan. It helps. Also, if you struggle with decisions what to eat, may I suggest, you could make a plan that is always repeating. Like Monday: Boiled potatoes (make a batch, boil them in their peel in saltwater, peel the cooked potatoes all at once and cut them into smaller pieces) with spinach (carrots or whatever you like) and sunny side up. Tuesday: leftover potatoes made into fried potatoes with a green salat. Wednesday and Thursday: one-pot stew or casserole, maybe with some toasted bread. And so on. You can eat the same kind of breakfast every day. Lets say: an egg and granola with berries. It might work better if you make your plan, print or write it and hang it on the fridge.

    The biggest misconception by those who don't understand is the belief that PTSD is exclusively suffered by veterans. PTSD by definition is the result of ANY traumatic experience. Assault, neglect, or as is my case, witnessing death first hand, just to name a few.

    • @ManyArmedMooseDei
      @ManyArmedMooseDei 5 місяців тому +15

      As someone with CPTSD from grief and childhood verbal abuse, I can attest to this; trauma, like so many things, does not only come in one colour. Watching a loved one slowly decease is in some ways far worse than one sudden moment of trauma; it stays with you far more vividly, as there is such an immense amount of material for the horrible memory to accumulate from. It’s not the same as a sudden death; those are shocking, and terrible, but brief in happening. With at-the-time incurable diseases, you have to watch as they pass in a slow and horrible way over months or even years, and in the case of dementia, they seem to have died long before they’ve even stopped breathing. It’s the slow burning fuse that detonates the most brutal of explosives.

Life ain't sunshine and rainbows, there is no cure from PTSDs, but with the right treatment and the right pills, you slowly learn to get back to normal.

    It's both helpful and distressing to find out about more and more things that are weighing me down. I can work more easily on getting better, the more I understand about my condition, but at the same time, the pile of problems seems to be getting bigger and bigger. It started with understanding my depression many years ago, then it was about learning of different aspects like dissociating, then I realized that I'm not introverted but had been suffering from social anxiety for a long time. Now, during the past year or so, I finally realized that my childhood didn't only leave me with lots of emotional wounds and seperate traumatic event memories, but with CPTSD. I've already lost so much time due to the things that happened, and it's still far from over. Sometimes, I feel like there will not be much time left to truly enjoy life after finally recovering.

I've finally reached a point where I'm not in constant fight or flight mode anymore, which is definitely a good thing. Now I'm struggling with retraining and reconditioning myself. It's really hard to break some old habits. I've also been doing research into the connections between C-PTSD and other mental health issues such as Autism, ADHD, and a few others. Come to find out, the reason why they're so hard to diagnose is because they all affect the same regions of the brain 🧠. The research is still really new and they're making new discoveries all the time. It's really interesting and insightful if anyone is curious about it. Would definitely recommend looking into it

      I’ve even read some people who say growing up autistic can cause some form of PTSD bc we are constantly going through the horrible experience of being yelled at or criticized/berated for doing things wrong (and maybe bc ppl w ADHD are more prone to harmful treatment in general/have a hard time recognizing ppl w red flag behaviors and ppl speculating that they’re sort of comorbid ig but that was just one person’s theory I believe not a psychology study so unsure how accurate it is

    I have CPTSD as a result of physical and emotional abuse as a child. As a result I have spent most of my life in ‘survival mode’ (I’m now 56) The past three years I have been working on myself with the help of a counsellor, and I am now almost completely out of survival mode. It has been incredibly hard work, and I still have work to do but if you are suffering, please don’t give up, if I can do it then so can you. ❤️

    As someone with cPTSD and several other disorders, I think cPTSD is the worst to deal with of every disorder I have.
    About a year ago, for example, I was playing a game with some friends. One of our usuals couldn't make it, so a friend brought in one of their friends as a substitute. This person's callous harshness towards me (accusing me of doing things I didn't do, not listening to me trying to explain what I did instead, etc) made me spiral because of it's similarity to the childhood that left me with cPTSD in the first place. I had to leave that group's gaming sessions for literal MONTHS while this was being dealt with. MONTHS. All because ONE PERSON infiltrated the place I let myself be vulnerable and attacked me without fault of my own.
    This is why I can't trust people. This is why I desperately cling to what I have. Because I feel like I'm not good enough to earn a place elsewhere. Because I've tried, and failed. Because my PTSD episodes flare up and cause me to be unavailable or at least volatile. Because I know to expect the worst, because it can and does happen simply since I'm so misunderstood. How can I fit in anywhere that doesn't understand me? Maybe if I was better, people would make the effort, but I'm not and they don't and I just don't belong anywhere. The invasive thoughts kick in minutes after waking up and ruin my whole day, and everyone always just thinks I'm overreacting.
    And this doesn't even get into the overlap with my other disorders. And it's truly heartbreaking when people are just like "did you go to war? No? Then you don't have PTSD, shut up, the problem is that your parents didn't beat you enough!" I just want people like that to stop breathing. Let me suffer in silence without piling even more abuse on top. Freaking hell.

    Supporting a friend with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) requires active listening, validation of their feelings, and respecting their boundaries. Patience is key as recovery is a journey, and self-care is crucial for both you and your friend. By practicing empathy and understanding, while also prioritizing your own well-being, you can provide meaningful support throughout their healing process.

  • @rikuobito3653

    I suffer from this. I was diagnosed with Social PTSD, due to abuse and being abandoned and betrayed from childhood to adulthood...
    Its a form of CPTSD from what I can tell... and yes, I avoid people I don't know unless I use a security blanket tactic to deal with them. Even then it doesn't last for a long time so I have to rush social situations unless I'm using roleplay. Which only is done online. In person, it's harder and leaves me unable to have a, 'normal job'.
    I hate it, and I hate that people don't understand which only makes me feel worse. Leaving me feeling like I'm the problem for just not trying hard enough.
    I want it to stop... I can't even take the meds I need anymore due to a situation outside my control. So I'm stuck worse than I was before.
    PTSD is no joke in any form but people are so misinformed about it and forget there's not only multiple forms, but that women suffer from it differently than men. To where when I say I don't have flashbacks, which those are less common in women, people think it means I don't have it. Even if I have been diagnosed.
    You don't need to have visual and audio flashbacks to have it. For me, if someone I don't know runs towards me, I immediately back up quickly, bring my arms up in a defensive fear and flinch and whimper. I will remain scared until they back off and get far enough away from me, or just leave me alone entirely. Which even then I need time to calm down...
    PTSD isn't just for vets people... Nor is it cookie cutter copy paste. Nor can we control it. We are stuck like this, we just learn ways to cope.

    I've only been diagnosed with OCD and Schizophrenia but can relate to all of these. My doctor is clearly invalidating and hiding my trauma from me and acts like nothing ever happened to me. He even tried to undertake my OCD diagnosis even though he gave 2 serotonin drugs before meeting another psychiatrist "to get the" diagnosis of Schizophrenia. How ridiculous? Thanks for this video. I will certainly do something against my psychiatrist. I convinced my father how ill treating he is and will leave that bugger. Also, when I asked the reasons behind getting these illnesses, he blatantly said no there's no reason you just got it although I'd a very traumatic past in the school.

    I just find it so interesting how everyone has their own struggles and stories.. Some may seem to be worse than others, but that doesn't make it less important.. Trauma makes us who we are, we can grow from it at times, and other times it can leave us in a pit of sadness and want..but yet not knowing what we want.. Yall have a story, none of them should or shouldn't be heard or unheard, we all matter, and never feel less if someone went through more pain and thinks your a big baby or an attention seeker, everyone has a story.. Stories are meant to be told not hidden.

    • @maggieo1683

      Yeah, this is so true and important for people to realize. Quick rant but growing up I only heard the definitions of trauma to be sexual assault, going to war, or surviving a natural disaster. None of these I had experienced, plus my mom and my best friend in middle school and high school both had way worse childhoods than me- physical, sexual, and emotional abuse for years. So I didn't think I had trauma for the longest time, and couldn't fully wrap my head around why I had such a hard time connecting with the world. It wasn't until I went to therapy that I understood that trauma isn't just the few specific examples I'd grown up hearing, that trauma can be anything very disturbing, stressful, scary, or otherwise overly upsetting, all of which I had lots of, just not in the most common ways you hear about trauma. It's very damaging to believe that your problems "aren't big enough" compared to others. Even if you don't have CPTSD like me, your problems still deserve to be heard, validated, and taken care of however needed.

    after about 40 years of healing from childhood abuse (older sibling) gaslighting and scapegoating family, being attacked as a kid by a random man, and domestic abuse as a grown woman :
    1. Physical Symptoms - I experienced multiple detached retinas, temporarily blind in both eyes with no other underlying health issues - completely related to not wanting to see things I saw in trauma - the body certainly does keep the score
    2. Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness: overachiever, lol
    3. You feel isolated from others: pretty active with work - but can still feel isolated because I don't have the usual things people have because of abuse
    4. Disruption in different parts of your life
    5. Depression and anxiety: not so much now - I have mainly healed this part
    6. Overly suspicious of others: sometimes still assume motives and have to catch cognitive distortions
    7. You appear unpredictable or emotional: no but still react to injustice and perceived disrespect or narcissism in others
    8. You aren't much of a joiner - plenty of groups and social support but as an introvert need LOTS of time alone to regroup with myself and recover from this
    9. You always expect the worst: catching catastrophic thoughts and watching when things go well
    10. You have a hard time trusting others: definitely trust is a real issue and prefer to be alone just because it is easier
    11. You feel like no one understands you: pretty much none has to now - go by the 'let them' approach
    Even when you're great at healing it still takes a long time with CPTSD compared to PTSD because its relational and core trust bonds are broken

      I don’t think so. PTSD is usually from one traumatic event, like some one seeing their children murdered in front of them, CPTSD is complex because there’s so many different factors over long periods of time, someone seeing their children murdered isn’t less severe, you can have CPTSD from having an emotionally absent parent. It’s nothing about more or less severe, it’s called Complex CPTSD because it’s simply more complex.

    What most don’t explain is that flashbacks are overlayed or projected onto a current person / situation that may have characteristics that remind you of the traumatic past (colors, crowds, mannerisms, etc) and mixes in with the current reality, experiencing it like it’s the same situation come back around again on your life now.
    This makes for confusion and launching back into sense of helplessness, fight or flight survival behaviors. Not only does a person need to be taught the skillset to step back & separate what’s real vs past to help rewire new experiences, but also the skillsets to manage having to go through the survival response reactions.

I have been given many different titles from psychiatrists and therapists, though none really fit perfectly. Bipolar II, BPD, schizotypical, MDD, and general anxiety, which I only matched some characteristics. Since I had refused my trauma, no one knew what was wrong with me. "Surely a personality disorder?" No one saw the signs, and only after years of therapy, could I get an official diagnosis I fully sync with.

    I actually am currently dealing with Trauma. My stepdad is a nice guy, and I get it, but when he tried to help me get through a stage of my life where I tried to get a career, he was always harsh and given the fact that I am highly emotional, attempted assistance only came off as him telling me what I was doing wrong, and coupled with the fact that multiple times he has lashed out in my direction when his temper got the better of him, even when I had nothing to do with why he was so upset, I have become as the video says, hyper vigilant, always looking over my shoulder, and trying to avoid interactions with him in anything but the most casual of conversations. It even has gotten so bad to where even though my mom has taken his place in trying to help me through difficulties, any reminders about the negative memories I have about the subject cause me to withdraw, and spend my time just trying to forget.
    I’m still struggling with this trauma, and I don’t know how to work past it, or what the next step is. I have a therapist, but I don’t know how we can even figure out how to do this.
    And that, is my ongoing story of dealing with trauma.

      If you're highly emotional, it's often due to things that happened to you, or growing up not being taught how to regulate emotions in a healthy way. So perhaps your therapist could work with you on that. Also your story about your step dad reminded me a lot of my dad. The temper, the criticism, but also "helping" but usually not in the way I needed. I know my story isn't your story, but you might need some help with confidence building and skill building, so you can get some independence and distance from the source of your trauma. I hope things get better. If your therapist isn't helping you, remember you have a right to look for a better one!

    you really do have to accept that the lack of communication for sometimes months at a time is nothing personal and comes with the conditions, despite how much you may worry about it they need their space, but also reaching out at the same time reminding them that you still want them around and you'll listen to them when they need it, but also directing them to resources that you think will help.

Though I have tried to deal with this on my own, I find it hard to tell someone about my cptsd because I don't want to feel like a burden, but, suffering in silence and stuffing down my emotions until they explode, makes it so much harder.

    I struggle with C-PTSD. I have flashbacks through dreams and I sometimes feel like I am not going to be alright. But I have found coping strategies such as resources with my mental health such as a container or wall. Sometimes I feel like I can't go on but I always find a way out of it.

    Doing my best to live in the moment now, took much effort.
    Don't help when people ask why am i still doing my basic job and say i have so much potential, often the same people who take advantage of my non confrontational approach.

    I have experienced CPTSD,, though I had only been diagnosed with PTSD. Trauma therapy helped a lot. However with the current political and social climate i find it very difficult to avoid triggers. I do not feel safe in my own town. Isolstion is my enemy, but . . .

    The hardest symptoms for me involve others- I definitely tend to hermit myself too much. I have a very hard time opening up to people because I'm always afraid I'll overshare and push/scare people away so I'm constantly masking around others, and then I feel like for one, it takes too much energy to keep up the mask, and two, like I'm just living a lie, so I just tend to hole up alone in my room and attempt to soldier through everything alone. And then I think "no one could possibly understand what I've been going through, I'm just so different from them in a way they could never fathom. I'm better off alone." And then I feel like everyone thinks I'm weird and standoffish and nobody likes me, and it's just a whole mess. Living with C-PTSD is hard. The inability to mentally escape the past is difficult. It almost has some similarities to feelings of social anxiety, and I've also had people ask me if I'm autistic or otherwise neurodivergent. I have discussed both possibilities with my therapist and we both agree that I don't meet the full symptoms for either of those, but they have some symptoms that I relate to that overlap with C-PTSD.

    This video helped me to understand that probably I had light signs of ptsd in multiple periods of my life, but after lots of time I always managed to heal from it with the help of time, until something really bad happened in my life, I guess I managed to heal partially from it(it took me around 1 year or maybe even more) I think so because I almost don't think about the past too much, even though thinking about some memories of the last days before the disaster happened is still very painful to me, but yet not as painful as it was just a a couple months ago, I managed to overcome my ptsd, but I'm still struggling with depression scince then, and it became even worse when I finally realized that even if i'll manage to return to my home there is just no chance it will stay the same as how I'm remembering it, at first I wanted to turn everything back, but now I just want to die, I'm pretty sure that this is a consequence that occurred because of that

    All of these, to different extents and in different ways, for almost my entire life; despite general circumstances being subjectively “better” than they were in my youth, the scars remain ever-present, making me feel akin to the Titan Atlas being forced to keep the Earth aloft on his shoulders (I hope he never forgets to lift with his knees bent, ‘cos it’ll be awkward if he ever has an epic back spasm… 😅).
    I experienced my first major trauma when I was a toddler; according to my mother, I “was like a different baby” in the aftermath, and it was just the first of many, many shake-ups to come. There’s a lot to unpack, and most of it is like tangled-up cords and wires in a moving box: it’s a multi-person job that can’t be tackled all at once, and definitely shouldn’t be rushed at all.

    I have been diagnosed with regular PTSD before but this seems more accurate. There are whole swaths of time in my life I do not remember. And many more that I don't want to remember. A lot of people think that my trauma is "stupid" or "silly", so I hesitate to even talk about it to anyone.

    @Psych2go I am not really sure. I first started watching your videos to educate myself on mental health but the I started relating to many of the signs in your multiple videos. No, I am not self diagnosing. I noticed those signs long before but I was having hard time accepting that I am not well. But after watching your video and my further research, I couldn't make any excuses anymore. I konw there is something -perhaps not c-ptsd but something. I don't even have any reason to feel this way but I still do; it is honestly so confusing and exhausting sometimes. Right now, I am just trying to find out what it is and what really caused it.

    I don't know what I have. I'm self doubting and thinking my abusive ex might be right that I wasn't right defending myself and I'm wrong. He made excessive threats to take my children or that I was to leave them with him but he knows I won't and I'm the one who cares for them daily. I start shaking, sweaty hands and feet, pain in my stomach/wanting to puke. I'm unable to stop shaking and my voice trembles. I have been having trouble sleeping, eating or focusing plus pacing excessively. My abuser never allowed me to relax because I was trained that I'm doing too much of something and just doing that was wrong. I also have severe headaches sometimes and unnatural jaw clenching. What's wrong with me??? Some days are better but then other days I'm back at relieving these symptoms. I still care for my children so I'm thankful God gives me more strength.

    I honestly don’t know. Would a stroke out of nowhere at 29; being the healthiest you have been and being diagnosed with a clotting disorder immediately after and then being blindsided by your partner 2years later, cause C-ptsd?
    I have hyper vigilance for my own body now. Fairly bad depression but still doing what I have to do.

    On the 1st argument, I believe that due to C-PTSD I developed seborrheic dermatitis. I asked my dermatologist why I got it at age of 19 and I was told that it is possibly linked to *constant high stress* . I was "misdiagnosed" with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which turned out is just a "symptom" of the C-PTSD.

    I have C-PTSD and deal with it to the best of my ability. Medical students should be taught much more about this debilitating condition to better care for their future patients; the understanding and emotional needs of these patients would prevent us who have the malady NOT to be in a constant state of hyper terror, embarrassment of issues which make us “appear needy, ‘neurotic’ and a waste of space”.
