If your mind doesn't work in pictures or an inner voice, and your experience of #trauma feels physically trapped and impossible to explain, this might help. A free thesis for you.

Longboarding by the river and thinking about all the plans that never turned out the way I hoped. The water moves slow and my wheels keep turning while I try to find momentum in the middle of quiet disappointments. If you feel that weight too I’d love to hear how you keep moving forward. #longboarding #strava #colorado #gorpcore #agoraphobia #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #complexptsd #afi #thegreatdissappointment #stvraingreenway #lobotrail #eringolightly #foodnotbombs
Often times, those who are close to people with mental illness experience what [Anna] does in the movie. She is being shut out and she doesn’t know why. She tries to get close and gets pushed away. When she finally puts her foot down and pushes too hard, Elsa can no longer control what is going on inside of her and accidentally hurts Anna (more than once). Anna knows she doesn’t mean to, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. Now Anna at least sees that something has been wrong for a very long time. And though Anna can love her sister and wants to help, she can’t make the choice for Elsa to come down the mountain.
They upped one med and added a blood pressure pill—despite me having low to normal BP. Now I’m calm but constantly exhausted, losing chunks of my days. Coffee and energy drinks can’t keep me awake.

It’s a certain type of day. Leave me out of it. Anyways. Florence has a new album out. I haven’t felt this much about music since #taylorhawkins passed away. It’s breathing new life into me. Hoping she keeps herself safe and protects her peace on her world tour. Even if means I don’t get to see it. #eringolightly #humanrights #wrecked #florencewelsh #EverybodyScream #chronicillness #diagnosis #borderlinepersonalitydisorderrecovery #complexptsd #anorexiarecovery #agoraphobiaawareness
Lip syncing to a song that refuses to age out😉 Rage doesn’t fade, it sharpens and becomes a language, a kind of protest you can dance to. Maybe I’m just mouthing words. Either way, volume stays all the way up. 🔥✊ #MusicIsResistance #HistoryRepeats #NoJusticeNoPeace #erindefiance #antifa #anticapitalism #anticorruption #90skids #music #ItsTheGuns #complexptsd #agoraphobiaawareness #borderlinepersonalitydisorderrecovery #bpd (they made me cut it way down) OG on other platforms)

I was reading this on my break yesterday. I've found it really helpful to know that the sense of danger and threat I feel when I see any conflict is just an emotional flashback. I haven't had a chance to put that knowledge to the test, but now I'm over the initial shock, it makes me feel a bit better to know why I feel like this.
Also the isolation thing is something I relate to. When I feel hurt, I go all "ice tower" and I can't say if that is also me emotionally flashing back or just my coping mechanism.

I can imagine showing this to my ex-therapist, her skimming through it and saying, "Yes, this is just self-esteem issues. This is just the same as non-autistic people experience. Also I'm going to assume you're not autistic until you get your diagnosis."
"Autism is viewed as a risk factor for complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD). Throughout life, autistic people may experience discrimination and marginalization. Many autistic children have been bullied and excluded at school. It may be very difficult for autistic adults to secure and maintain employment. Up to approximately 85 percent of autistic people are unemployed. When they are employed, they often are overqualified or work part-time and are more likely to be bullied. "

Understanding protest behaviour in relationships with anxious attachment.
I don't know how I ended up so messed up. Is it even possible to heal at this stage?

I really needed to hear this. I alternate between my head ruling and my heart ruling. Dr Snipes in this video says it will probably take at least a year to get to a better place mentally. I don't have a need to be in a relationship, I'm actually at my happiest when I'm not. The problem is that men seem to like to reel me in with false promises and then I become emotionally dependent on them. All I know is I will put up with any amount of crap just to not lose them.
But no more. At some point I found where I left my self respect. It's like a hyper puppy that keeps wanting to escape, but I have the leash now.

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.
