Sorry you’re going through that. I was debilitated by CPTSD for a large part of my life until I found the right therapist who helped me reducing some of the pain I felt by talking through it and finding its origins, and accepting the pain that might never go away. CPTSD is a very heavy burden to carry every day and I hope you find some way to live with it as well, at least to an extent that is doesn’t regularly take you out for multiple days/weeks.
As an aside, when I saw the cat and read CPTSD, in my head I read it as Cat PTSD which is sad because I don’t want cats to suffer from PTSD but it also calms me to know that cats who suffer from (C)PTSD can also recover somewhat by entering a loving home with very patient humans.
Aww i never knew that, that's so cute 🥹 Thank you for telling me. And I'm glad you've learned to live with your CPTSD
