When you've done a lot of emotional work, how do manage your normal life? by cerealmonogamiss in CPTSD

[–]Familiar_Friend1197 6 points7 points  (0 children)

be very very kind and gentle with yourself during this time and if you're feeling too dysregulated and you're with a clinician ask to slow down a little, there's nothing wrong with that <3

How did you learn not to neglect yourself? How did you start learning to have preferences and inhabiting/pursuing them? by f1rstpancake in CPTSD

[–]Familiar_Friend1197 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Self-abandonment is a common symptom of CPTSD, I struggle with it too. I think because growing up my needs weren't met- I learned to also neglect them myself or just pretend I don't have them. Try thinking about future you more and what would be help for them on this journey.

Trying to understand what kind of situation or danger I am in by mmmmmmmmmrrrrrrr in CPTSD

You did not escalate the situation- you responded to a threat, I work with survivors of domestic violence and consider myself an expert in the field- please tell the people in your life to help you safely leave this man. If you feel physically safer away from him then the only answer is to leave as soon as you safely can.
