I share my experience with delayed-onset PTSD (although, I do also have CPTSD). I just want this information to be out there for people who, like me, may not know what is happening at first.
I have had symptoms for 15 years, where the first 10y I was repressing PTSD (chronic hipervigilance + dissociation + muscle tension + etc), while the other 5y I was going through PTSD (all above but less chronic + flashbacks).
I am in the last stage of recovery
My content can be triggering for some people, so please be aware of it when you enter into this space. That is why most posts are for followers-only.
I also want to apologize for those requests I sent to private accounts. I was so eager to make this account visible, that I sent requests when they were not welcome. I feel really terrible for it (and I will feel better after some hours).
In this line, please be nice! Notice that I am still struggling with #triggers, #grief, #ptsd, #cptsd, etc
emotional flashbacks get me so foggy. i just wasted 1h dealing with a lot of thoughts to justify my feeling of guilt. but no justification to that feeling, it is just a flashback. such an annoying thing
Love the cute server I belong to.
Love to see your posts, people!
And it has mental health on it. How cool is that. I love it. 😍
having a person paying you full attention for enough time is such a gift ❤️
pitty is different to compassion
pitty makes people avoid you and delays recovery
compassion makes people approach you and speeds recovery
if you care for someone struggling, you would like them to be better asap. then, your level of compassion may help!!
wish you a lovely week!! 😘
Do not dare to let your story define you!! Do not dare!! You will persevere!
PS: Be kind while you are healing 😘
To those of you strugging with mental health, I want to wish you a very very lovely week!!
One step at a time 😘
getting better is not always easy, but it is definitely possible! 🌻
Be gentle with yourself today.
have a nice day! ❤️

The Human Stress Response (What Are Triggers?)
talks about how your brain responds to trauma (yay polyvagal theory!), where triggers come from, and has some validation about how trauma happening to you isn't your fault
resources are also at the bottom to learn more
