June is recognized globally as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month, with June 27th marking PTSD Awareness Day. This month is dedicated to raising awareness about PTSD and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), encouraging open conversations, and supporting those affected by trauma worldwide.

Research shows that around 10% of people globally may experience PTSD in their lifetime, yet many remain undiagnosed or untreated. Symptoms of PTSD and C-PTSD are often misunderstood or misdiagnosed as other mental health or physical conditions, delaying proper care.

Raising awareness is crucial because effective treatments exist, even years after trauma. By educating ourselves and others, we can break the stigma, improve diagnosis, and support healing.

If you or someone you know is struggling, seek professional help—recovery is possible, and you are not alone.

I am learning to live my life without my uncle, my grandmother, and my grandfather. No, it’s not because they have passed away; they are still alive. I am surviving and benefiting from my anxiety with them because I can’t be okay with them anymore. I can’t see any possibility of being happy with them anymore. My survival is important; it doesn’t mean I can blindly depend on them.

Question for those with #ComplexPTSD who were able to heal, to any degree. What pushed you to get help (whether therapy, support groups, self help, etc)? If you had that feeling that you weren't worthy of help/happiness/healing and that you deserved to suffer, how did you fight that feeling to start on the path to healing?

How long did it take you from realising you had #CPTSD to being in the right headspace to do something about your own wellbeing?

What is EMDR?
https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/eye-movement-desensitisation-and-reprocessing-emdr/

“Someone can tell you that your negative belief about yourself is not true, but you need to know that for yourself. With EMDR, the change in perspective comes from within and the transformative changes feels true at a gut level. There can be a remarkable change in how people feel, from feelings of terror or shame to calmness and empowerment.”

Describing the shame that comes with complex PTSD.

The shame should be with the perpetrator, never the victim!

Sorry I don’t have more cat pictures or anything for y’all today.

The more I sit with the realization that what my system is dealing with is complex grief about the state of the world and life and things, the more it feels like I’m swimming in an ocean of just… Sadness. I’m safe, it’s just a lot to feel. Hence why I’m writing here. I don’t really know how else to begin deeply processing emotion beyond writing, and I’m feeling the grief so somatically that I don’t have the energy to talk to people individually about it. So I figure word vomiting here is a good place to start.

I have lost so much. We as a society could have had so much in this past election cycle (Kamala Harris wasn’t great but she sure as fuck wasn’t this) and while I’ve seen TRUE bone chilling right wing terror as an ex Mormon.. This is pretty fucking terrifying. Everyone was warned and they didn’t listen. My system actually foresaw much of this. So we’re just mourning what could have been while trying to do the work, trying to keep our heads above water… And I am tired, deep down in my soul.

And this realization has led me to sit with the grief and the pain of being chronically ill, psychologically tortured, and often isolated before the election, and I’m doing another round of processing that, too. It feels in a way like I’m falling down a bottomless well of pain and grief. Or maybe I never stopped falling down that fucking well.

I’m not sure. Either way, it seems to help me breathe a little easier to put words to it however I can. I want to cry. I feel like I need to cry. But I haven’t been able to yet. So I’m just gonna keep working through things in my mind until I’m able to open the floodgates, I suppose. Everything fucking physically hurts in the meantime.

I’m not going to give up the fight, though. I don’t see the situation here as hopeless. There’s a lot of good happening amidst the bad, and I’m not suicidal or anything. I’m just badly in need of rest and time to sit with this further, so that’s what I’m gonna do.

Signing off for now,

-Allēna
