DissociativeIdentityDisorder 8h

The dams loomed — tall, wide, inpenetrable — and were starting to crack. We heard the storms behind its groaning borders; we felt the impending onslaught and doom. It rumbled and was coming closer.

"Run!" some screamed. "Run, run, it’s the only way!"

But he stood, he faced the crumbling dams, and he held out his arms to the winds.

“Come at me,” he said softly, calmly. “I’m ready. I can handle whatever you’ve got.”

C-PTSD 13h

If you own your own business, what is that like for you? If you don't own your own business, would you want to?

I did once or twice on a smaller scale, like doing DoorDash or driving for Uber back in the day, but solely on my own. no, I feel there is so much red tape, and then the fear of being audited is just to much for me. I will just keep my 9-5... It's just too much consistent documentation involved to be stressful even thinking about it. Just my spin on this... #CPTSD #PTSD #Trauma #Anxiety #Depression #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Do you sometimes wish you were still a kid again vs. an adult? Why or why not?

From the financial aspect of it bills and everything yes for just the social status side of it no. #PTSD #CPTSD #Trauma #Anxiety #Depression #MentalHealth #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

C-PTSD 13h

Have you ever ridden on a hoverboard or a Segway? What was yours like, and did you do tricks on it like jumping ramps, etc?

I have never ridden on these devices; my niece and nephew both have Hoverboards. their older now, not sure if they still use them, but they seem to like them.... me. My balance is not the best, and I think the fear of falling would stress me out. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

C-PTSD 14h

Have you ever lost something of great value and just went in panic mode? Take us back through that moment in time if your able to.

I either lose my phone or my keys, and I always find them where I least expect them. Then I get mad at myself because I went through panic mode and didn't look there first. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Trauma #Anxiety #Depression #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Shift a thought with us today.

One thing I have to do on a daily basis—especially as someone who’s a recovering perfectionist living with persistent depression, generalized anxiety, and PTSD, and who is also a creative introvert with an endless stream of ideas—is constantly shift my thoughts.

One uncomfortable interaction or moment of insecurity can send me into a spiral almost instantly. Shifting my thoughts helps me learn to trust myself and my intuition, even when my nervous system gets triggered.

Let’s practice shifting a negative thought together today.

Step 1: Identify one unhelpful, uncomfortable, anxious, or spiraling thought.

Step 2: Shift the thought by finding its opposite. This might look like recognizing your boundaries, focusing on what you can control, naming how you want to feel, or imagining a more realistic outcome.

Here’s my shifted thought:

1. Original thought: I’m different from everyone, I’m too much, and I don’t belong.

2. Shifted thought: I’m enough just the way I am. My family and friends love me for who I am, and I’ll continue to find people who resonate with me.

Share your shifted thoughts below! 💬
