Coming to Terms with a Complex PTSD Diagnosis

Never compare your trauma to someone else's, what you went through is your trauma and it is valid even if it affects you differently or you think others have it worse. I've struggled with this before but remember it is valid. My dms are always open if you want to talk 💕

I'm still learning how to cope especially since I don't have a support system, but I'm trying to train my own service dog to help me

I always felt the same way until I just realized that some of my behaviors ARE ptsd they are just unique to me and my situations. Being kind to yourself and stop doubting I used to always kind of forget that I’ve been through some crazy stuff and there’s no way it didn’t have an impact so I’d think I was just crazy or dramatic but no, it’s the trauma response

it's complex because it's pretty different, I just am grateful I got the "Easier" side, and understand Finally where a bunch of my issues direct from it and my trauma.

Take it day by day. Follow your treatment plan even when it sounds stupid. I got diagnosed 2 years ago, but ive come so far in that time. Even though at times i felt stuck, or depressed, nightmares, etc. Just keep going.
