CPTSD/Disorders of extreme stress not otherwise specified

I’ve ordered the DBT workbook for CPTSD. I just need to get the medication for my standardised PTSD today.

Having both is a tortured conflict. You never know which type of PTSD is impacting you the most.

I fought for therapy for many years but failed within the NHS England system because they said “EUPD” and “Just ignore her”.

Ironically, I’ll never have a case for them because a prior EUPD diagnosis means a solicitor won’t even look at it.

I sometimes wonder how they can throw the labels around so freely, like it won’t have an impact. It’s not a game.

It affects lives. I still can’t find anyone who understands me. That is a symptom of the CPTSD diagnosis.

I’m still upset with Highland Council. I don’t know who they’ve been talking to if they are nice people. I can only imagine they made a few phone calls to cover-ups within the family unit who misdiagnosed me with EUPD in England to hide the fact they ignored my PTSD in 2018.

I think they knew that. Definitely. They haven’t given me a reason to not think that. It takes a while to build trust with me. Unfortunately, they broke that trust with me.

Unfortunately.
