CPTSD is:
• saying sorry for existing.
• over-explaining because you don’t want to be misunderstood.
• struggling to ask for help because you were taught your needs were too much.
• feeling like love has to be earned.
• constantly scanning for rejection or abandonment.
• people-pleasing until you’re empty, then resenting it all.
• feeling like an alien in your own life.
You’re not broken. You’re surviving something that was never your fault.
