Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

My favorite place. Serene water with a gentle ripple. Or a slow drop on a vast vessel of water. Looking through a crystal clear ocean to find he shimmering sand..these things I seek. I choose. But I’m also haunted. My face pressed up against the glass of my windshield like a bird birthed in flight I crash- 💥 I’m not sure until now 💥my triad failed 😣 nutrition exercise and sleep…. Systems in lock down and I’m rebuilding again 💥the memories will come during any moment and I respect myself💥but my god do I feel challenged right now ❤️ always striving to live love and begin again… I’m so tired 💤#PTSD #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

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
