Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

It’s my birthday today so I got my free sugar cookie latte at Starbucks. I get 5.00 off coming from Barnes and Noble so I’m heading over there soon and I have to exchange 2 pairs of jeans. I celebrate my birthday with my son and his girlfriend on Sunday . We are going to a pizza place for dinner. I only got 3 hours and 20 minutes of sleep last night because of anxiety and depression

For me, it's horrible that my biological mom started on me around age 2 or 3 with emotional neglect then enmeshment... My surrogate emotional mom of a different race intervened and gave me her emotional imprint of openness and freeness. Between year 3-7 So I'm a free-spirited person with trust issues... we are not liked by many because we don't like boundaries, we are open range. We like to make them up as we go along.. but we follow the ones that are all ready in place but like to create our own emotional world that is endless #PTSD #CPTSD #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

My birthday is coming up. As I brainstorm how to treat myself to celebrate my day of birth, I wonder how does one raise a glass to a life lived in trauma? Read that again. Lived. In. Trauma. The whole of my life has been battling against physical abuse, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, invisible triggers, emotional dysregulation, suicidal tendencies, disbelonging, loneliness--all that is Complex PTSD (CPTSD).

This is a life to celebrate?

I reject this life. I want to design a new one. I want to experience a rebirth. How do I celebrate the next one?

Any ideas? #CPTSD
