PTSD

I got diagnosed with PTSD at a very young age and I’ve been struggling with it all my life even with therapy and medications it is always there and I wish it would just go away however that’s never going to happen. My main focus is learning how to live with it without it interfering in my daily activities. It is always a work in progress because the flashbacks come without warning and there are always new triggers that I can’t avoid. #PTSD #Livingwithptsd #Early Childhood Trauma #significant childhood trauma

I want to feel safe.

I just want to feel safe. I'm in bed with my husband, dog, and cat. We're safe, warm and happy. I'm even watching one of my favorite shows. Yet I feel a deep sense of unease and have for years. I haven't lived with my parents for the bulk of four years and they've lived thousands of miles away for almost two of those years. I know that's its deeper than simple safety it's a survival part of my brain that forgot what safe was but it's really all I want. #CPTSD #PTSD #PTSDfromAbuse #Livingwithptsd
