Dealing with cptsd for a while and although i have had lots of treatment its still hard. I wanna vent and list what it effects in my life.
Hypervigilance makes it hard to relax and sleep
Feeling like things are happening again
Being reminded of people who have hurt me
Major trouble with self care its improved but still have ugly health habits (poor coping mechanisms)
Distancing myself from others because of this i feel lonely
Occasionally waves of guilt or shame
Stigma of mental illness can hit sometimes
Somatic symptoms coming back recently like stomachaches
Having major life changes this year and am overwhelmed about not being able to do certain rituals that keep me calm
