I have struggled with the symptoms of C-PTSD my whole life. I have tried over the years to "fix" myself. I've always wondered why I am the way I am--so isolated, withdrawn, non-assertive. But since I have come to understand C-PTSD and trauma, I have come to realize for the first time there is nothing wrong with me. There never was anything wrong with me. It was my parents who were wrong.
I have spent so much time blaming myself, being ashamed of myself, and now for the first time, at 44, I feel like I am the "normal" one.
It feels like a whole new world now.
Dear Lily,
You are so right and I am so glad you came to this realization. Pat yourself on the back and just attempt to live a calm peaceful life, with self care and good positive people and things. :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:. All the best to you!
