  • I have it alongside my trauma and CPTSD. Hemingway probably did too. Type 1 has less suicidal thoughts, and the lows last for short periods of time so it gets missed.

  • Crisis self management plan

    I need to try and come out the manic episode on top of the CPTSD/PTSD right now. I need to pick up my sertraline tomorrow but it will make the mania worse if I’m in a manic episode even if it will control my PTSD. So it’s dangerous to take just now. So I have…

  • Retail therapy today.

    I never go shopping, very rarely. But today I went sale shopping. To see how I’d manage back outside, whether I’ll go into my emotional flashbacks and PTSD attacks. I was hoping the PTSD attacks would pass by themselves. I nearly did. I had to hold it in. So I don’t stay outside very long.…

  • I’m trying decider skills today.

    I think the system is the problem. We will need to fix that in a positive way somehow. I managed to clean some of my room for the first time in months earlier. In between the CPTSD attacks. Why did Highland Council externally triggered my mania back when I was trying to focus on the…

  • I don’t mean to expose my parents in written context to the outside world. Although when you have two parents each suffering with their own mental health conditions, you don’t want them to feel regret about what they’ve done to you, but merely find out who was psychologically abusing you so you can reclaim your…

  • To analyse his quote into context from the same mind who understands, what Hemingway really means is, he looks okay on the outside, but inside – his brain was inner turmoil that bled his past traumas on to the page. Everyone forgot I was suffering too. Hemingway’s brain changed. He went through the CPTSD catastrophic…

  • I have a tally chart. Lists of names of the people who have ever hurt me. Lists of institutions that have ever brought me down. Lists of degrading comments I’ve received. More and more lists. Accused of being narcissistic for being Autistic. Real Autism. But, I couldn’t get help from the system in the same…

  • The Vulnerable Narcissist

    Living with a dad with real NPD, and ADHD, I had to learn at a very young age to tread on eggshells. When I exposed my crisis, I also wanted to see what others perceptions of me were when they saw the CPTSD attacks, mixed with the rapid cycling bipolar symptoms. I encountered the word…

  • Do they know CPTSD at all?

    The police said they need evidence. I’m publicly posting evidence. Not out of spite, but because I am tired of having to defend myself when I’ve stood on my own two feet in life. Ernest Hemingway is the only person I can trust. He was broken by the system too. He was scared. He was…

  • PTSD – A workbook

    I also have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – which is a little bit different to my CPTSD. PTSD is like a whole other universe. I analysed recently my PCL-5 score: It was 75 a few months ago, it’s now at 68. I am praying I can get the score lower to at least in mid-range scores.…
