You shouldn’t have to go through hurdles to get the correct support for your needs. You shouldn’t have to experience gaslighting and discrimination which distorts your perception of reality to stand up for your mental health rights. You shouldn’t have to suffer from the after effects of emotional abuse and have it labelled as your…

I’ve just realised today that NHS Highland really are covering up the CPTSD to try and trigger anger in me because they know they’re at fault. It’s hard to deal with your second ever PTSD crisis that has lead to CPTSD when people who are supposed to help you are bringing you down only to…

Emotional abuse can either be intentional, reactive, or unintentional. Unintentional emotional abuse is when you’re in a relationship with someone who has ADHD for example. On the outside, they can come across as narcissistic – more commonly in men, except it’s not true NPD. In females, they can come across as BPD. True NPD is…

Did you know INFJ’s are so rare that you have more chance of being hit by lightning than meeting one in real life. It’s because they’ve managed to overcome obstacles in childhood that would have destroyed and killed any other person. But they can break. And it takes a very long time to piece them…

I wrote this poem about what it feels like living with dissociative PTSD (BPD) from childhood that comes and goes. On top of my CPTSD. CPTSD was a label created for abused women with BPD and a history of prolonged trauma with PTSD attacks. Basically everything I experienced – unfortunately, NHS Highland refused me trauma…

If I knew what I know now, I’d have stayed single completely. As men have always been a trigger for my CPTSD, my body was slowly deteriorating until its ultimate collapse and now I’ve developed gynaecological issues as a result like extreme pain during sex, infertility, etc. If only I wasn’t raped or sexually abused…
