Confusion between c-PTSD Behaviors and Neurodivergent Conditions

I found a lot of people were confusing my c-PTSD behaviours I developed later on life for neurodivergent conditions I did not display symptoms for or ever felt I identified with growing up. e.g. a lot of people with ADHD have mistakenly thought I have ADHD as well.

Struggling with Fatigue During Trauma Therapy

I’ve been in trauma therapy for a year and a half, had EMDR and currently in ACT therapy. Question is, why am I always so tired?

What is C-PTSD? Should I be concerned?

What is C-PTSD? I have some ✨trauma✨ from my military training and the gaslighting involved in causing my current injuries, and im wondering if I should maybe look into it? I don’t think I have it, but I’m not sure if maybe I’m gaslighting myself or suppressing since I’ve noticed myself doing both of those things. I don’t have any dreams or flashbacks, at least nothing visual. There are a few things that “trigger” me, certain words and logos and patterns make me instantly anxious, I’m trying to go to do self therapy because I can’t afford normal therapy rn, and I don’t know if my reactions to certain memories and things are normal. I know I have some childhood trauma that’s kinda effecting it all, but I’m again not sure if I’m just having a normal reaction to trauma or if I need to try something different

Struggling with Last-Minute Changes Due to Autism and Trauma

I feel like the inability to cope with last-minute changes caused by my autism and trauma is making my best friend/flatmate grow tired of me. He asked if, when his partner comes over next, they get too tired to go home, can they stay over at the last minute? And like, I want to say yes. I like his partner, but it's not because its them, it's a general thing: any last-minute changes, and I have a complete breakdown. I'm 24 now, and I feel like I can't stay like this, I need to get to be okay with these sorts of things, these things aren't a danger. But apart from it being an autism thing, I have absolutely no idea why it affects me so much.

Coping with Panic Attacks: Tips and Tricks

what do you do to get through your panic attacks?

Feeling Overly Involved with Media and Celebrities

There's something I do that I don't know why. I feel over involved with media, characters and celebrities. I feel intrinsically tied to certain things, as if they are a part of me. It's to the point that when another person claims to know or like that thing more than me, I get upset. I don't lash out at other people or come for them but I have on occasion become overly defensive over these things. I know that I don't own shows, characters or celebrities but I don't know why I can't stop myself from feeling this way. I feel like every behavior must have a reason right? This is bothersome because I am not a stranger to crying over something someone said about a character I feel tied to.
