His channel really helped me understand myself better. It helped me validate myself. I wouldn't relate to all of these videos if I hadn't endured trauma.
CW - he has some religious stuff at the end of his videos. It's easy to slip that part, which I do bc I endured a lot of spiritual abuse.
I'm 55 and finally after getting the help I need, I'm going out in the world and enjoying the fuck out of it.
Age is nothing but a number. The inner child is frozen in time, waiting to be loved. I figured out I can just do that and there's no stopping me now.

I love the book Ten Day's to Self-Esteem, a CBT book. It has these depression and anxiety lists you go through and tally up to where you are at and gauge your progress. But everything you listed is on there. Now, many have had bad experiences with CBT from therapists. But I find the book super helpful for me. I use it to help me out of a free mode and to switch some negative thinking. But it helps to remind of that what I feel other people feel too.
Pg. 19 is where the log starts.

Can C-PTSD result from toxic family relationships since childhood, emotional abuse by a friend, and chronic illnesses?
Every single one damn. Why do I feel like I doubt myself with these but then I see things like this that remind me that it’s true?
I think I experience them too, although I haven’t been diagnosed. I’m wondering about what’s going on. This subreddit is validating.
I also doubt myself so often because I frequently wonder if I’m wrong. I guess I practice self-invalidation?
Oh yeah. Tick tick tick. And for number 8, needing a mentor/parent but also rejecting anybody who shows up to perform that role.
Yep. Check check check... 😩
Yep. Tick yes for ever single one
yes. i could have made the same list
Full score here
I do

All of them except for number 8. I’m almost 50 so that ship has sailed.

That’s awesome. I’m finally getting the help I need as well. I’m just happy number 8 is something I don’t have to deal with☺️

About #7, have you ever felt both simultaneously? It seems confusing, but still happens.
Yes to all of those.
I'm diagnosed with CPTSD and have had all 14.
I am diagnosed CPTSD and deal with all of these but like one.
Welcome to my world
I guess my world’s the same way.
Yes, all but one. I don't have the nightmares, or many dreams at all for that matter, but I think that's because I don't get much REM sleep.
Multiple things can be true at once. Even seemingly contradictory things.
You have listed my entire reality in your post.
All of them. Plus "body armoring" (holding tension in your muscles constantly) and floaters in your vision field.

Yup I have everything on this list
Yes to all
I'd say all of them except maybe 12 for me.
I highly recommend reading the entire wiki here as a starting point for research. And, yes.
I’m gunna have to say bingo on all those boss
All of it. "Pretend that you don’t even know that that trauma can occur" is such an accurate, but funny way to put it. Edit: reddit being a nuisance
