#cPTSD
The ability to distinguish between #autism and #CPTSD is actually quite difficult. Add to this that 32-45% of people with autism also have #PTSD because PTSD is not caused by the traumatic event but the feeling of being alone while having to deal with it. One of the major differences between diagnosing each is that people with CPTSD have a VERY negative sense of self-worth and an inner bully, while that is not often the case for people with autism without PTSD. #Depression that can come with autism and its very common companion #ADHD can lead to a certain level of low self-worth but its much easier to treat with CBT and learning how to make social connections. The self-hate is baked into the core of people with CPTSD and extraction it takes going through layers and layers of memories and convincing those memories and your subconscious that you didn't actually deserve the horrors that happened to you.

Sometimes, the things people call love or friendship are the same things that hurt us most.
This comic is about that confusion. That deep bone-level dissonance when someone insists they care for you while causing pain, control, fear, or lasting harm.
For so many of us who grew up in abusive environments, the lines between love and harm were blurred from the start. The people who should have protected us were the ones teaching us that “this is family,” “this is friendship,” “this is romance,” or “this is pleasure,” when what they really meant was: this is what I need you to accept in order to stay close to me.
And the worst part is that sometimes we believed them.
Luna stands in for so many of us in this moment. For survivors, for neurodivergent and disabled kids who were isolated and gaslit, for queer and trans folks who were told their pain was just sensitivity, for people of color whose boundaries were crushed by generational trauma, for anyone who has ever had to unlearn the idea that being hurt was part of being loved.
If this comic hits close to home, we hope you know: you are not alone. Love should never make you question your worth or safety. You deserve gentleness, consent, joy, and healing. And no matter what anyone told you, you were never too much.
✨ If you’re comfortable, feel free to share your thoughts or story in the comments. You never know who might feel less alone because you did.

Wait... it's the 17th? Wtf? Last thing I knew it was Friday the 13th. #cPTSD really fucked my sense of time, huh?
Hitting #CPTSD writer's block.[1] I have 22K words *surrounding* my essay, but locking up when it comes to finding my voice.
Apart from the block and at my best, I have at least four distinctive writing styles:
- Conversationally Complex Lecturer,
- Plain Language Administrator,
- Consciously Profane in order to re-frame
- Clear and Plodding
Dunno which to use. I also have a detailed outline with too much to say.
So, I'm going to play with a new (to me) structural approach.

Aufwachen. Handy an, Nachrichten checken.
Die USA brennen. Bürgerkrieg nicht auszuschließen.
Das BKA hat keinen Bock, Kinderpornografie löschen zu lassen.
Ein deutsches Gericht entscheidet, dass eine versteckte Überwachungskamera im Zimmer des Mitbewohners nicht strafbar ist.
Meine Nachbarn sind zum zweiten Mal dieses Jahr auf Malle. Haben sie sich verdient, sagen sie, wegen dem Stress mit dem Kauf ihrer dritten Wohnung.
Handy aus. Augen zu. Stresspegel steigt.
After weeks of struggling with my previous institution, I finally made the difficult decision to withdraw. Despite submitting all documentation for disability adjustments early and following up multiple times, there were constant delays. Two weeks just to acknowledge a form (which included full reports and suggested supports) is far too long. These cases often simply need a conversation to confirm adjustments, not endless reviews.
There were also serious communication gaps: classes scheduled on public holidays with no clear guidance, lecturers not turning up, no way to reach them directly via email, and Canvas messages going unanswered. Even when I physically went to campus, staff tried to help but could not get through to anyone with authority to act. It was disheartening, especially because the course content was excellent. However, I’m thankful that I’ve now enrolled elsewhere and begin my studies on June 23. I’m already receiving much better support and feel hopeful moving forward.

Been particularly quiet because I'm stuck in a pretty bad state of fear. Awaiting the determination of a potential change that might disrupt things and inevitably set me back in my #AutisticBurnout recovery/healing.
I've gotten stuck in this bodily fear many times before, over much smaller concerns than the current obstacle. It makes it so I’m constantly turning in on myself, trying to find a solution or a perspective to alleviate. All the while I’m precariously balanced in between fight and flight and feeling like I can do neither if it comes to it.
In this place it's even harder to think, harder to take care of myself, harder to see things objectively. It’s especially harder to enjoy anything at all.
But I'm also trying, in moments, to learn from this situation because I do uncover a lot of self-insight in the worst of times IF I can at all turn away from the fear long enough to observe and collect data.
You are not a VCR, stop replaying that shit. A little #SelfHelp #GlitchArt for #cPTSD.
