cPTSD Awareness Month

As we wrap up September, I want to highlight an important note. September is cPTSD awareness month. While cPTSD has similar characteristics as PTSD, it is a more complex and severe version. It is evoked by prolonged and multiple traumas. While PTSD occurs from a single traumatic event. It is to be noted that not everyone that experiences trauma develops PTSD or cPTSD!! Please do not diagnose yourself or flippantly use PTSD or cPTSD to describe normal behaviors. It grinds my gears when I hear people say things like “that gave me PTSD” simply because they have a normal aversion to something 😤😒. There are several symptoms that are associated with this serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI). I will discuss my specific symptoms in later posts. Person’s experience symptoms similar to depressive episodes such as suicidal ideation, low mood, psychomotor symptoms. Similar to anxiety symptoms such as racing heart, excessive sweating when reminded of trauma. Other symptoms include hypervigilance, dissociation, depersonalization, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, struggles in interpersonal dynamics such as detachment, emotional regulation. Struggles with cognitive and behavioral processes such as memory loss and behavioral changes are also noted in this SPMI. I encourage anyone that has experienced cPTSD or is currently experiencing this. Be encouraged! I know that it is hard. Life feels like walking neck deep in thick mud. But I believe in you. Please ask for the appropriate help that you need. Please take care of yourself. Please do your self and healing work. I believe that remission is possible. For me it took a lot of self/ healing work through personal accountability, strong boundaries, therapy and most importantly, Jesus. You are so worthy of a healthy mind, body and spirit. All my love 🤍. #damiocean #cptsdawareness #cptsdsurvivor #cptsd #mentalhealth
