Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war.
recently I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a horrific home life growing up. Anyway all this has compounded to were I feel like an outsider.
I know cptsd is somewhat common and I’m wondering if anyone remembers this narrative in the news, and if anyone with PTSD/CPTSD has felt similarly?
For a long time people wouldnt admit PTSD existed in the military let alone outside of it.
People that dont believe its a thing unless youve been in a war have never been so unlucky to experience something that causes that sort of trauma. They’re fortunate.
