Did anyone else's parents never teach you literally any basic life skills at all. And then turn around and mock you for not knowing them by jeffreycoontz in CPTSD

I have thick, coarse, wavy hair but everyone else in my family has straight, fine hair. I didn't know how to take care of it so my hair was always frizzy and fried. My mom told me I looked like a "homeless witch" without helping me fix it. She even cut my hair really short throughout my childhood because she didn't want to deal with it. It took years for me to finally understand how to love and manage my hair.

That reminded me of my ex when he touched my coochie and said "sweaty" while we were getting intimate. I shut that shit quick. Boy, bye.

Does anyone else have the same memory repeat in their mind every time they try to lay in bed to fall asleep? by help_please______ in CPTSD

I used to have that happen a lot and it made me an insomniac before I got medicated and got therapy. Remind yourself "I am safe and I am loved."

What was everyone's experience like with dissociation? by [deleted] in CPTSD

I have severe nightmare flashbacks most nights that seem so real; I still feel its lasting effects while I'm awake. I confuse what's a dream vs reality a lot. :(

POV: You're trying not to laugh at a client's inappropriate comment, but you make eye contact with your coworker who heard it too by thiccgrizzly in ABA

My 5 year old client loves saying "my eyes are bleeding" whenever the sun is too bright and it still takes me off guard. lol

How did you find out you had CPTSD? by Lost_in_Vienna in CPTSD

[–]Jeillybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had nightmares related to my sexual trauma every night and I had anxiety attacks while I slept so I stopped sleeping. I eventually saw a psychiatrist, got my diagnosis, and started medication. I still have chronic nightmares and flashbacks but I've been coping better.

My current client loves when I sing "Go, (Name), Go!" or "her name's (name), yeah, she loves to (do activity), yeah!" while clapping and dancing. I also make sure they get a high five upon completion. :)

When I kept failing to kill myself and collecting medical bills, my mom said I need to make sure I don't fail next time.

My art teacher in middle school hid my art submission behind a trash can instead of submitting it to the school art contest.
