I hesitated for a long time to describe once having a dream where I knew I was going to die, but instead of fear, I felt... 'relieved'. I didn't want anyone to misunderstand & think I would harm myself. I felt guilt for that dream, & a bit afraid that my experiences could make me feel that way. I've not been medicated (had trouble finding something to help) or going to a therapist (which I know I desperately need) for many years now. I know I need to reach out for that help again.

Same here friend. Hate my face in the mirror, hate my body. I've dated objectively beautiful women that I know most men would kill for, who have their shit together and could have any choice of partner. I still see an ugly crooked face in the mirror. I still feel worthless. I achieve things I should be proud of but I'm more focused on feeling like I should be ashamed that even thinking such a small thing is worth being proud of. My memories make me cringe. All of them. Good and bad. But I'm fixated on my failures. Embarrassing memories, it's like when I think of them I'm literally there again. Even if I was 8 years old and said something stupid, I feel INTENSE shame when I remember it. And on bad days that same memory would be added to the long list of reasons I should hate myself, shouldn't trust myself, and why everybody around me thinks I'm a pathetic loser. It's hard living like this. Outwardly, I know rationally that I look put together, confident, like nothing should really bother me. I have more going for me in terms of success than most people I know. But inside I'm shattered. Constantly anxious. Uncomfortable in my own skin, unsure of myself, insecure. Filled with anger and hate I don't understand. It's just there. And deep, deep sadness. A tiny emptiness at the center of it all. So no, you aren't the only one.

I do too. Sometimes I'm convinced I look like a monster. One of my core beliefs is that I don't have the right to be alive because (and this is really bad, genetic hygiene bad) if I were born in medieval times, or maybe even 100 years ago, I probably wouldn't have survived infancy. My eyesight is very bad, I had constant ear infections as a baby... I take this as a sign that I wasn't meant to be born, that I am a genetic mistake. Through therapy I've learned to be very kind to my little self and I comfort the lonely, hurting child inside. I do schema therapy. It's really helpful! Very hard, and it takes time but it is very much worth it. You are very much worth it. Good luck!

As someone having CPTSD, something I really struggle with is unintentionally looking, scared, sad, or angry, as I'm going through the world. I don't even realize I'm doing it, but I think it drives people away, further isolating me. I don't want people to think it's directed at them; I'm just usually having a hard time with flashbacks and hypervigilance and all the other things that come with CPTSD.

I literally unexpectedly broke down sobbing, uncontrollably, after my *ankle surgeon*, of all people, gave me a hug one time (said ankle sugeon did like, 4 surgeries on me so I knew him well lol). Got to the car and boom, couldn't stop sobbing for like, an hour lol. That was the moment when I was like "ok, something else is going on here" lol. Also had a similar thing happen after one rare car ride with a parent where they suddenly talked to me like a real human being for the first time in my 32 years of living. To then never see that side of them again. Soon as they left I started sobbing uncontrollably and couldn't stop for almost a solid hour again. That was interesting....

CPTSD has many signs, but a major one is the lack of a stable self concept. This lack leads to a terrible conundrum: a feeling of unworthiness that leads to simultaneously fearing both abandonment and enmeshment. We fear the pain of abandonment and don’t feel worthy of another’s love. We fear being attached to someone as they may engulf us and we will lose the little self that we have. We travel the world seeking love, but when we find it, we fear losing ourselves by being engulfed by the other, or being crushed by the inevitable abandonment. Nothing is safe, especially relationships. So we become hyper-vigilant, looking for microscopic proof that this person will abandon us or engulf us. Emerson reminds us that ‘what we seek is what we find’, so we see signs everywhere: our texts are returned too quickly=engulfment. Our texts aren’t returned quickly enough=abandonment. They cook for us=engulfment. They don’t cook for us=abandonment. We can never relax into anything. We look for signs of how the relationship WON’T work, rather than looking for signs of how it COULD work. And since we find what we look for, signs of impending doom are everywhere. Our survival brain screams, “Get out before they hurt you!” As the video states, this expectation of the floor dropping out may lead us to a habit of over-planning our days; but it may also lead to making no plans at all. If everything is going to fall apart anyway, why plan anything? So we spin and walk around in circles, not knowing what to do with our selves. We cannot reason ourselves out of CPTSD for a few reasons. One, our abuse or neglect may have happened as infants, when our brains had no linguistic capability, our explicit memory not yet developed. No matter how much we talk to that part of us, we can’t reach those parts of us. (See Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model of Therapy). Secondly, much of our trauma is stored in the body, not the mind. To access our trauma, we must access our bodies. (See VanDerKolk’s The Body Keeps the Score). Some of the symptoms described in the video have their polar opposite. While some may have trouble sleeping, others may sleep all the time. Many seek safety in solitude while others seek safety in manic, superficial socializing. We are drawn to unavailable people because they keep us safe from enmeshment and abandonment. If they live in another town, they can neither engulf nor abandon us. They seem safer because we are risking less of ourselves. We unconsciously fear cozy, warm people because those warm feelings are unfamiliar; we unconsciously seek cold or critical people because they feel familiar. Our neglectful or abusive caregivers taught us that love is cold or critical, so warmth feels alien and uncomfortable. Our fears of abandonment or enmeshment can trigger our reptilian, survival reactions of the 4Fs: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Our logical, linguistic, relational brains are switched off. Instead, 1) We Fight: we get angry and rage, becoming violent in word and/or deed; 2) We Flee: we run away either physically or mentally; 3) We Freeze: our brains and body lock up and we can't think of anything to say or do; or 4) We Fawn: we sacrifice our selves and try to appease the other. These habits are formed when we are very young and stay with us forever, unless we consciously heal. These responses often work when we are younger, but become maladaptive when we age. They help us when we are young but harm us as adults. While some may be able to seek a therapist, some cannot because we feel so unworthy that we don’t want to bother a therapist with our troubles; we are not worth it. We are not worth the expense or the therapist’s time. Or we are so ashamed of being alive and breathing air that someone else could breathe, that we fear a therapist will only ridicule or abandon us. These people may want to begin their journey of healing by reading books or watching videos. Here are a few resources that have greatly helped me along my journey: The Body Keeps the Score Bessel VanDerKolk The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog Bruce Perry Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving Pete Walker Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame Patricia DeYoung Wishing you peace and healing . .

I do the same thing. I was telling my trauma therapist that part of me doesn't feel like I should be so affected because other people have had it so much worse, but another part of me knows that what is traumatic for one person isn't traumatic for another and people shouldn't compare traumas. I remember her asking me something that has stuck with me since: "So why is it different for /you/, but not everyone else?" At the time I didn't know, I just knew I felt that way. Now I realize that it was because of the bottomless self-loathing I feel for myself. I felt it was different for me because I was not worth as much as everyone else.

I’ve had cptsd from my childhood for a long time now and being more aware of it now has helped me realize the unhealthy habits projected in my relationships now. I can be clingy and touchy and needy in some peoples eyes. But I also understand why someone could feel so repulsed by the idea of intimacy (not necessarily sexually). What I’m trying to say is. Avoidance can be a strong part of cptsd. But cptsd is not always going to be avoidance. Hope this gives a bit of insight

I try keeping myself busy but like u said it doesn't do much.

I still suffered every year on Christmas. My daughter would have been 31, we lost her as an infant, her heart stopped on Christmas Eve. I came to terms with the traumatic experiences of my childhood, the symptoms of terror from the robbery (fear every time I went into a store, terror of guns and strangers) when I was younger, but the holidays still have a dark spot, usually when alone late on Christmas Eve. So many years of wrapping presents for my family, trying to wipe away the tears before they left a mark on the paper or bows. This year my youngest child turned fifteen and we decided to not have the traditional Christmas, due to the pandemic and money being tight. This is the first time I've not had pain at Christmas in decades. No tree, no decorations, one small present for each of us. Just spending time together. And this video appears on my recommendation. I feel like I have a great burden lifted, I feel empty, but not the black/red/sharp images every time I close my eyes. I feel like I am just an empty vessel waiting to be filled, and looking forward to tomorrow. I still wonder what you would have been in the world and as a person, Amy, but it doesn't hurt to think of you anymore. I am ready to try to live again. Finally, I am at peace.

Ya know a month ago it really felt like too much, but my mom asked me 3 weeks ago and It felt achievable, so i'm gunna go for it. There's 2 episodes of parks and rec where 2 characters do a day once a year they call "treat yo self", and its an awesome premise the way they handle it in the show. Cuz It feels like everyone else is working half as hard and having twice as much fun as I am sometimes if you go on FB (which I dont) or look at socials. The point is, you aint gotta do a whole day of straight ballin' out to treat yo self, it can be hitting the grocery store and grabbing dope snacks for the week. But try it out sometime when you've been doing well paper-wise and just treat yo self! Just get that $80 game (with a friend if possible, socialize a lil) and tear through it in the evenings with em online, or get that weird $150 *thing* you've wanted to do a hobby. Isolation isn't the worst thing in the world, but without direction it can be. Hobbies help in my opinion. Also gives you something to talk about with people. Take care man, wishing the best for you! :D Keep your stick on the ice, im pullin for ya!

Wow. Since childhood I've been in circumstances which others would refer to as traumatic, but I've always felt invalidated because I dont have the common 'nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks' that everyone else has. This helps me to realise that I do infact have all of these symptoms and that trauma can manifest for us in different ways. I always thought that I was just used to traumatic situations but now I can see a lot of these displayed in my everyday behavior without even realizing it

I'm definitely still introverted and prefer being alone or with a few people, but I talked to a few people and it helped a lot. Mind you, I also have other struggles and felt I had to hide my disabilities for a while and I think that's why I still feel so tired around people. I tend to take on their emotions (like empathy to the extreme), plus I don't feel safe being myself around others due to my past, and it's a lot of work to fake it.

Gosh this made me cry. I never knew my parents were part of my CPTSD diagnosis. I remember being hit as a child for simply talking to a boy at school, not romantically, just saying bye to him. It was conditional love. My mother still to this day brainwashes me into thinking that we had a 'glamorous' childhood. When social workers came to our house, my mum gave us lollipops to make it look like we were having fun. I was also, so afraid of the social workers going to the house. I still remember my dad giving me a chilling and disgusted look after I did that. My mum would always say 'awww you hate me so much, you hate me, I know you hate me' when the social workers would visit. Soon enough, I lied to them, telling them everything was okay, just so I didn't have to face the guilt of seeing my mother so upset. When really, I just wanted safety in my family home at the age of 14.

If you've experienced trauma, consider reading The Body Keeps The Score by Bessell Van Der Kolk. I have experienced CPTSD for 31 years and found it immensely empowering and helpful to understand the science of trauma and its impact on the brain. Also: don't wait for a diagnosis. If, like me, you don't want to go through years of jumping through hoops and ticking boxes by taking SSRIs in order to be worthy of further investigation by doctors, (although no judgement if you do want to take them!), best thing if you suspect you are suffering is do your own research and seek treatment/therapy accordingly on your own terms. You know your body like no one else does!

"The root cause of CPTSD is a lack of love." It NEVER hit me until now. My mom used to physically abuse me and my siblings specifically while my dad was at work. She un-schooled us, kept us trapped in an isolated house in an isolated town while he abandoned us with her for ten hours a day. She got addicted to opioids and spent seven entire years in bed, mostly asleep, causing all kinds of shit. My sister had to raise me and my brothers, my dad emotionally cheated on her because she was emotionally absent. She got out of that, but now she just sits in the corner scrolling away on conspiracy theories, repeating them to us 24/7 and making no effort to engage in what WE'RE doing. Meanwhile, my dad has done nothing but enable her, sit there with his balls between his legs and never defended us or protected us from her. Which he still refuses to do. I thought I just had anxiety, but now I think I have CPTSD from how god-awful this living envornment is. I need to get OUT.

After years of seeing therapists off and on for 50 years none ever mentioned a lack of love. As a teenager when describing the relationship with my father to my first therapist he cried. The best help I ever had was a year doing the workbook with the Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families. The harm to myself of seeking out controlling people for relationships was one of the awful habits I dropped. Finding contentment with oatmeal love (warm love, not hot love) and running away from limerence is still a challenge. The Persians had 80 words for love like the Eskimos have a variety of words to describe the many characteristics of snow. We are a society crippled by our lack of understanding what healthy love is and truly connecting to people around us. A few close friends who intentionally struggle with their family demons are working pretty well for me. People who have lived with no family trauma don't make my inner circle of friends. That's just an observation, best of luck to others on this path seeking healing love.

I am struggling very hard to overcome my trauma and yet i have never had any suicidal thoughts, cuz I believe life is precocious.

Thank you for putting this out. I’m recovering from CPTSD. At age 49 I only suffer from 5-7 of these symptoms and even those are lessening, but it was very hard even five years ago to understand what was ‘wrong’ with me. It’s very comforting to know that someone out there understands. The best two things I ever did: 1. Cut off contact with both of my parents 2. Stop judging myself for cutting off contact with my parents

seeing this comment gives me hope that my PTSD will eventually get "better" I am a abuse and bullying survivor I was abused in foster care so I have trouble trusting women including my mom but shes never done anything wrong shes fought tooth n nail to get me back from system. I am now an adult and with her now due to disablities and not being able to live in group homes due to trauma from foster care ones and shes helping see things in different light even if I tend to be stubborn.... I sent her this video because it opened my eyes and I don't know if she was trying to tell me other day that around holidays she thinks its trauma related or not but this proves it!! this video proves my as she calls it b****y side comes out holiday time day before and when cooking some day of. I thought it was stress now I know its PTSD related due to anger piece he mentioned!! but I really hope this gets better in future

I used to wonder if anyone else felt like this when I was a kid. I've just turned 50 and I now know that I was carrying so much un-discharged energy in my nervous system that I literally couldn't function and when I was 18...I thought I was schizophrenic. 4 years ago my therapist told me that "if you have the presence of mind to wonder if you're schizophrenic...... you're definitely not schizophrenic". He was (and still is) my Gandalf. I have all the symptoms (and miraculously, all my marbles!) but have only fairly recently admitted to myself just how awful and scary my childhood and young adulthood was. I used to wear it like a badge of honour... like it made me tough or something. Once you come to terms with and finally accept what happened... it slowly begins to change. And let your wounded inner child know you would never let them go through such things and that they are loved beyond measure. It actually works. ❤❤❤❤❤

This made me cry. I’m pretty sure my “anxiety disorder not other specified” diagnosis is really just CPTSD. I suffered from early childhood trauma, including repeated mother-child separation before the age of 2. Lived in a homeless shelter, moved around a lot as a kid, had a single mom working a lot and have always struggled with attachment issues… the pain of separating means I avoid interacting with those people afterwards, and unintentionally cutting people off has caused them so much pain. I feel like an emotional black hole, sucking people in because I can’t get enough so I keep walled up. Mental health issues started early, and having ADHD in K-12 really messed with my head. I thought I was just worse at everything than everyone else! I thought I was “stupid.” My mom tried but I think there was emotional neglect due to her own CPTSD. Then when I was 19 I developed a chronic illness that brought on medical trauma and some agoraphobia. I’ve got a lot of resiliency factors plus I’m an overthinker & raised to downplay my own struggles, so I think it’s why it got missed by my therapists over the years. My last serious therapist laughed at me and told me my experiences weren’t traumatizing so I have therapy trust issues… but by doing my own therapy research & putting years of therapy experience to use… I’m staying afloat. I try to always look for the silver lining & take solace in small moments. But yoga makes me hypervigilant. My experiences might not have been “that bad” to some but the deep emotional pain has been real. These days I have a job I really like and am good at. I know people like me at my work, and that I make peoples days better. I didn’t mean to bare my soul here but appreciate the platform. Thank you for posting this video.
im so sorry you went through all this. your trauma is completely valid. i have chronic illnesses that also started around age 19 (im 21 now). i also experienced lots of medical gaslighting and trauma by doctors who didn't believe me or were just generally insensitive and rude while i was in a horrible physical/mental state. im happy you'fe doing better now. ive been up and down but overall feel like im healing and growing.

Therapy does work don’t get me wrong, they point out the most noticeable mental health problems making it easier to heal. Then you are left with the inner trauma that therapist overlook possibly because the denial, and pain the trauma holds that keep you from confronting it.

Childhood neglect, sadism and physical violence turned me into a people pleaser. People pleasing made me a prime target for narcissistic abuse - a whole lifetime's worth. I now realise that my people pleasing skills - going along to get along, a survival mechanism from childhood, has been my bane. These behaviors are so deeply ingrained that, in the rare times I interact with people, I find myself falling right back into them even though I'm aware of the harm they cause. Now 60, I've found peace in solitude. I don't see any need to get close to anyone again.

@@Rollwithit699 Such fantastic timing, Roll. I just watched a vid of Chris Hedges interview psychologist Gabor Mate where they discuss that very thing. If you'd like, I can hunt up the link for you. (Dang it! Am I people-pleasing again? Or am I just being nice? Hard to tell; that dilemma is ever-present for me. And you?) As for healing... the first step is mothering yourself into adulthood. Forgive yourself for everything your childhood self endured, that you blame yourself for. It never was your fault or your blame to shoulder. (My therapist recommended I wrap my arms around myself and cry it out. It was surprisingly effective.) Beyond that step, healing is a personal journey, dear. If you can, make what happened to you as something external to yourself so you can view it objectively. Once you remove the wrongdoing from your pain, it becomes no longer a part of you. It becomes academic, not personal. Unfortunately, the scars are for life. But if, in the end, you are at peace, they will adorn rather than haunt you. My best to you.

When I was younger, all I usually got was yelled at and hit if I would do anything that was wrong- Get a C? Get yelled at, and lord forbid I got a D in my grades. Be too loud? Yelled at and/or hit. Im not going to get into more detail. My parents would constantly fight, and I would lose sleep, it started getting to the point where I could never relax as if someone was about to yell or hit me again. I was bullied at school, nowhere felt safe. If someone yelled a little to loud, I would go into a state of high alert and scream if anyone touched me. I was (and still am) afraid of men, my dad never was the best person and whenever he'd get mad, it was terrible, and now I just think that all men are like that and are very cautious around them. Like stepping on a mine field. Constant state of being exhausted, like living was the only thing exhausting me. I constantly feel like everyone is judging me, whenever I say anything and people go quiet, I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. Right now I'm just shaking even talking about this, lol.

I wouldn't had tried to commit suicide by swallowing 60 sleeping pills in a drunken manic state (I was diagnosed as Bipolar) & then freaked out called 911, rushed to the hospital, placed in a medically induced coma to pump my stomach. Yet I am glad I called for help when I did (and my slow metabolism) because I seriously would not be typing this out. I had to get my medication re-adjusted and diagnosed with C-PTSD & Borderline Personality with underlining depression and anxiety. The doctors said I was over-medicated with the wrong meds, gave me only 2, one of which I only need to take if I'm feeling really anxious or having a panic attack. I'm getting a rush of emotions just typing all this out. As I'm typing this I'm in a safe place- a transitional living home with nurses, therapists and a psychologist, along with 9 other patients. I'm very lucky to be alive and for the help and blessings I'm currently receiving, as well as the police, paramedics, and the doctors/nurses at the hospital for saving my life.

I can understand that, while I do not have an official service dog, I have a big smart black haired Standard Poodle named Beau who is my lifeline....he is always there when I am even starting to feel anxiety....he is my best buddy, although we also have his girlfriend, and one of the boys from her last litter.
