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?

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

3 reactions 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.

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