CPTSD/Disorders of extreme stress not otherwise specified

I dislike being a survivor of abuse. Being able to absorb other people’s energies and sense their deceptions terrifies me.

It’s like I’ve transformed into a surveillance camera scanning the environment, awaiting for the next threat.

I couldn’t understand what it was in 2018 as I didn’t do too well on my psychology degree, but over time; my brain had an encyclopaedia of information I hadn’t even learned.

Apparently it happens in trauma survivors who shouldn’t have survived so many traumatic events.

I have yet to meet someone else who has gone through this.
