Just another reminder that CPTSD is a nervous system injury. It's not a mental illness. It's not emotional weakness. It's not some physical flaw. It's an injury caused by surviving what killed the old you. Please be gentle, kind, and patient with yourself.
Got caught in an ocd loop this morning and weighed myself twelve times. Like... Friend, we don't have time for this. I think it's because I became overwhelmingly aware of feeling my own body last night. Not a huge fan of being corporeal at the moment.
me when other people need help: thatโs so normal girl. thatโs so understandable. nothing to be embarrassed about
me when i need help: i need to be killed.
your mother is emotionally stunted, your father is emotionally absent and you're a neurodivergent, hyper-vigilant insomniac who finds it hard to believe that anyone would choose to love them
