What is it like for you being a long way from home, and it's pouring down outside, and you are in the car with the windows rolled up?

For me, I can deal with it around the city if I am close to my house, but if it happens at night unexpectedly, I have minor panic attacks, I have to try to keep myself calm or just get off the expressway and pull to a gas station or something. I have a pet peeve about having trash of any sort, even mud in the car on the floor, and it's raining outside, makes me just want to jump out of the car so my cars are spic and span clean 90% of the time. It could be because my biological mom was a clean freak growing up, every day mopping the floors, etc. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #Trauma

What is it like for you physically shopping at the grocery store?

For me I get overwhelmed if there are too many people in there. I try to shop either online for groceries or off-peak times, like early in the morning or later a night a couple of hours before closing. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Good morning, Saturday, November 8th

People living with CPTSD are survivors of deep trauma, let’s honor their emotional space without intrusion.

Today’s challenge: Find a safe place to walk barefoot outside for 5–30 minutes #CPTSD #PTSD #Depression #Anxiety #Trauma #MentalHealth #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Still awake

I woke around 3:20 am as my roommate was calling someone as she was awake…
She fell asleep pretty quickly.
After fourty minutes of worrying in bed,
I got up and read some poetry, then changed the side of my bed to fall asleep.
But I’m still awake…

It’s currently 5:30 am.
I’m dead tired but too wired to fall asleep.
So for now I’m just laying here staring at the wall…
Hope I can get some sleep as I need to wake up at 8:30 to 9:00.

We‘ll see…

I appreciate meeting my Mighty family. That adds to my well-being and helps me keep going in times of struggle.
