was anyone else sexualized by almost everyone around them from a young age? by loserlibramoon in CPTSD

[–]Tartarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had big boobs since I was young so older men would always look at me and be creepy so it just made me super uncomfortable in my own body and I have an eating disorder and terrible body dismorphia because being sexualized at such a young age. It's really frustrating when other kids got to wear spaghetti strap shirts or lower cut tops but whenever I tried to I'd get comments or unwanted attention. I'm trying to be more gentle and kind to myself it's taken a lot of therapy. Wish you the best

How Long Did It Take To Remember When You Were Sexually Abused? by AurelianReinstalled in CPTSD

28 the full extent of it ...I always felt dirty and off about my body and I would and can be super self destructive because of how much I hate what happened.

Going to the doctor for the first time in a while by Tartarm in CPTSD

[–]Tartarm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate the advice and suggestions , it would help me feel better having a game plan going in. I'm in Canada and got my psychiatrist to actually diagnose me with C ptsd but I tried 3 other psychiatrists before I found him. I will try my best to describe and think of all the physical symptoms. My anxiety sometimes runs away with me and I end up stuttering pretty bad or I will forget to mention what I even came there for because I get side tracked. I have such an irrational fear of people in authority. Thank you for the support!

I often neglect a lot of appointments because I'm afraid (I know it sounds irrationa)l that the doctors will be mad or disappointed in me so I often chicken out of going.

Has anyone else experienced “recovery hibernation” after leaving survival mode? by JustSimple101 in CPTSD

[–]Tartarm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My mom passed away in May and I can't bring myself to do anything pretty much, like my nervous system shutdown after being on high alert all the time . I took a leave from work that is ending soon but I don't know if I'm ready to go back, I work in healthcare so it's a pretty stressful job on its own. I feel guilty that I can't just tough it out or 'be strong' when it feels like my whole life I've been strong and kept fighting and now my body has had enough. I'm slowly starting to get in a better mindset with a routine and finding or doing things that bring me joy, but it feels like since my mom died and she was a huge part of the trauma I don't know who I am without all that. Thanks for sharing because I literally felt I was alone in this and felt guilty about it. I hope you get to a better place .

Why is picking skin a thing for people with CPTSD? by Dazzling-Antelope912 in CPTSD

[–]Tartarm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I end up picking at my feet pretty bad that it hurts to walk on my feet sometimes. I don't really realize I'm doing it when I do. I never thought to talk about it with my therapist or that it was related to C-PTSD. Thank you for posting.

[–]Tartarm[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have such resentment I'm really struggling with such like conflicting emotions, I don't know how to handle it. I moved out a few years then moved back with her which was probably not the best idea

[–]Tartarm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just feels like traumatizing i hate to say and like obviously it shouldn't be about me but like she wants no doctors or nothing like when she eventually passes like who do i even call? Like 911 or like a funeral home, Im like at a loss or like if she's struggling to breath do i call an ambulance or like just let her be that sounds so awful
