I plan to explore the terms, meanings and real life stories of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The definition of CPTSD according to the UK charity 'Mind';
"Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (complex PTSD, sometimes abbreviated to c-PTSD or CPTSD) is a condition where you experience some symptoms of PTSD along with some additional symptoms, such as:
difficulty controlling your emotions
feeling very hostile or distrustful towards the world
constant feelings of emptiness or hopelessness
feeling as if you are permanently damaged or worthless
feeling as if you are completely different to other people
feeling like nobody can understand what happened to you
avoiding friendships and relationships, or finding them very difficult
often experiencing dissociative symptoms such as depersonalisation or derealisation
regular suicidal feelings."
I welcome those who have these symptoms, have this condition diagnosed or anyone who is interested in learning more about anything related to, including, CPTSD and the symptoms that go alongside it.
*If you have a story you would like me to add, I will gladly do so.*
