Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

I start a new job today. I haven’t had any luck whatsoever in my career the last several years because of my mental health. But I’m on my healing path and thriving so this position is extremely important to me. The other day my husband went out for a bit and when he got back he handed me a pretty, purple (my favorite color) zip-up binder. I was so happy! He told me to open it and what I found inside, friends, simply left me speechless and crying. He had filled the binder with a bag of my favorite snack, pens, pencils, a calculator, a heart shaped pencil sharpener, and sticky notes. You know, the basics. Then I went on to find a succulent magnet (because succulents are my favorite), cough drops (because I have asthma), tampons (because I’m a girl), and even a hair tie (because I have super long hair). This guy never ceases to amaze me with his thoughtfulness. He is otherworldly, I tell ya! Next, I’ll tell you about the ceramic turtle and turbo. #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #ChronicFatigue #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Anxiety

Well, I'm at the point where I'm willingly pulling away from people. I've found myself in a friend group, and it's been good. And as I find myself getting closer to some of them, something within me willingly wants to push them away. I'm fully aware that I'm doing it to protect myself, but sometimes, the need to push others away feels very strong. I hate it. It also further impresses on me that I still have a lot of trauma to work through. #MentalHealth #Depression #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Anxiety #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #Trauma

👋 all I have been a part of the mighty since early 2017 when I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation type 1 and Syringomylia. Rheumatoid, and hyper Thyroid issues run in the family along with other autoimmune disorders, dupitrins contractions and planter fashitis (pretty thats mispelked). We also have Mental health or personality disorders as well.

I didn't ever really come on here till now. After having my son in 2021 I developed severe postpartum depression. It eventually disappeared on its own kinda, it just lessened to depression.I was battleing addiction that had started because of my Chiari diagnosis and decompression surgery. In summer of 2022 i got clean and stayed clean. I went to a psychologist who was in the company of my rehab/general therapist. I was diagnosed with general anxiety, social anxiety, depression, bipolar, and having borderline personality disorder traits. I have recently VERY recently got away from trauma and abuse. I am almost 💯sure I have C-PTSD. Are there other forms of trauma bonding, abuse, PTSD out there what are common symptoms? I have something really weird going on and I dont even know how to really explain it . It i don't know if it's a symptoms concerning my Chiari and surgery site or if its a mental, psychological issue from the trauma. Any similar backgrounds out there? Even not general answers would be appreciated as well. Thnx everyone.
