123 breathe

I’m coming to know myself better than ever before. I’ve reflected back to my childhood and realized I have been holding my breath when I’m anxious for as long as I can remember. It started with refusing things in my mouth. I believe this breath holding, shallow and inconsistent breathing (also hyperventilating) has become a part of who I am now as an adult. My 😥 #system as my mother would say was overactive. Over-everything ….and always at the wrong time. My system would get overloaded and the brain/body connection would become spastic. Giggling, jumping, crying…thank goodness no anger then….#ADHD #Trauma #Anxiety #PTSD #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #AcuteStressDisorder #Psychosis

The in-between challange Discovering my true self #CPTSD #Recovery

For decades I've been in survival mode, adjusting my reactions to what was demanded of me.
Now that I'm being my own designer of life, it feels heavy. Making my own decissions and following them - with the old voices still in my ear. And people who still think they have access to all I do and say.

FAFO works both ways#CPTSD

Since we are playing fake site games and all is fair game, go take care of your own. Go play cosplay therapist with your own sons. You know which one and maybe your neice, your handy work worked wonders with her. Go arrange secret family reunions, get together. Go plot vacations excluding only a couple people. Shhh don't tell, she will flip out. Go tell people awful things about someone you have nothing to do with and make up lies about one person, to as many that will listen.Go, be the awesome character I was raised with, oh you are showing everyone exactly who you are https://now.The hero complex you carry https://around.The savior,the controlling two faced storyteller, who knows everyone and everything about me, right? Ok https://Barbie.The wannabe washed up nurse who oversteps her boundaries in ways, no one asked for.
