Anyone else with C-PTSD?

^ bad grammar in the parentheses.!

I was bullied, I was chubby, I found pornography very young, exposed myself on the internet to someone who groomed me online. my body dysmorphia was never actually diagnosed but I don’t know why. i’ve suffered from binging, i’ve hurt myself,— in march 2021 my mom was severely hospitalized, i began writing her an obituary because i believed she wouldn’t live, i moved to an apt, turns out the roommate was severely mentally ill (and I am certain she has undiagnosed autism, she experiences hypervilgience, and refuses to explain herself, making healthy communication impossible), I spent my days with a broken car, battling a flea infestation without help, and then finding a new roommate! — who is actually fantastic, i’m so happy I met her! but sadly my life has remained a clusterfuck.

yes me! I was diagnosed recently (december?) I grew up around substance abuse, trauma survivors, - a single mom with deeply rooted trauma that went unaddressed her whole life +medical issues, a dad with paranoid schizophrenia, I saw him on weekends until I was like 9 or 10– I found out was dead thru a google search in 2018, my aunt lost her boyfriend in 2004 from a laced overdose and has been in and out of jail, rehab, etc since then, and I’m the golden girl who has to save everyone and make money since I don’t have a safety net because there was never anything to save really my mom lived paycheck to paycheck most of the time and wasn’t great with her money other wise

I’m officially diagnosed is PTSD, since CPSTD isn’t an official diagnosis in the DSM yet. However, my therapist and psychiatrist agree that I do have CPTSD.

my doctor said she couldn't officially diagnose cptsd because its not in the dsm yet but she said im as close as possible to a diagnosis

Here, about 2 or 3 years ago.

Yep. Cptsd with avoidant PD. Distortions are part of the package. Whee!

Yup. Im 25, had it since I was twelve or younger depending how you view symptoms.

Yes, it's repeated trauma that causes the brain to stay in PTSD mode at basically all times. The earliest I can trace mine back is when I was 5 years old.

Yes! I have been. I'm seeing a trauma therapist at the moment.

No, im just diagnosed with trauma and stressor related, not otherwise specified because my developmental trauma doesnt meet the criteria for PTSD 🤪 but i definitely relate more with CPTSD, but have also had traumatic sexual assault experiences that confuse me. And i also can never decide in my head if my childhood was actually bad/traumatic or not

Haven't but suspect I do have this just don't know how to go about a diagnosis

❤️not officially but I’m going to bring it up with my doctor the next appointment. I can’t believe I havent heard about it sooner. I tried to list it as a condition but it wasn’t showing up in the list of conditions. What are you doing for treatment and what has helped you deal with your trauma?

Yep, me
