Life with C-PTSD 9h
See full photo

How do you explain your C-PTSD to others?

Living with a condition like C-PTSD can be painful and complicated. It can also be hard to know how much to share — or how to explain something unseen that affects every part of your daily life.

Maybe you use analogies or clinical terms to convey how serious it is. Maybe you simplify things to avoid long explanations. Or maybe you keep it private unless you really trust someone.

What's your approach? How do you talk about your condition with friends, coworkers, or family — and what makes those conversations go more smoothly?

BipolarDisorder 20h

I’m new here!

Hello, I'm 22, from Romania. 🌸

I have Bipolar I disorder, probably AuDHD and CPTSD. I'm here to make new friends. I love psychology, Asian culture, K-dramas, books, cooking, volunteering, workshops and long walks with headphones on. I also have a very cute tortoise called Ayu. 🐢

I'm still figuring some things out in life and working on myself. It’s not a very bright period for me, I’m going through a depressive episode, and nothing seems to be going right. I would like to meet empathetic people here, people who can understand me and with whom I might share common ground.

DMs are open

HSP 4d

Who gets it? #HSP #CPTSD in need of consistency. The 2 people I spend most time with both are #ADD personalities. Which costs me a lot energy, on top of life changes (therapy ended this week. Work life is in new orientation process.)

I'm barely surviving. Coping with the unknown feels scary. Whatever I start has to stop due to inpredictable support.

#CPTSD Dealing with leck of co-regulation

I'm lying in bed, crying. Desperately in need of co-regulation. Afraid to reach out, just to get well wishes.
