I'm very sorry to hear about this. I also have bladder related symptoms and I know how awful it can be. I'm getting relief by treating my nervous system, which was so surprising, so I hope you will too.

As a child, I loved rabbits, but was too terrified to tell anyone, or god forbid ask for one. Also, I did a mental health exercise of carrying around a small doll to represent my child self for 30 days. It was a little rabbit, with a zipper pouch in which I put a locket picture of myself in elementary school. I still take her to bed with me every night.  I'm very happy to say that I did get myself a pet rabbit and attained furry baby bliss as well!
So I thought this name would keep reminding me to take care of myself and to notice how cute I am. :P

Hello,

My journey started with trying to heal various autoimmune and chronic pain issues, when I stumbled on CPTSD and realized that this was the source of it all. The emotionally dangerous environment of my childhood, with anxious, narcissistic mother and functional alcoholic father, plus abusive older sister left me completely disassociated.

Now about 2 years of Curable App, SE Therapy, the Crappy Childhood fairy, and a lot of books and videos later, I'm finally getting to some of the core issues like not knowing what safety actually feels like. I'm teaching myself that with the aid of my therapist. I'm currently listening to the CPTSD: from surviving to thriving audio book, which resonates deeply with me.

I'm hopeful because I'm finally seeing just how severe the CPTSD is and giving myself a break from the relentless perfectionism, but at the same time it's sooooo painful. Arg.  :fallingbricks:

Now that I finally admit it to myself, I thought I would benefit from interacting with a community of people who can understand.  :hug:

Thank you for being here.
