Managing CPTSD; no support system

Daily life is an uphill battle mostly. Always struggling to get out of bed. I wish I could be up early, make a couple quick pancakes drizzle honey and savor coffee. Have a morning routine, dress nice, not lack energy all day at work.

I avoid the grocery store now. I feel claustrophobic and people are hostile when I say excuse me or wear my over-ear headphones. The whole environment is overstimulating.

This is one of several anxiety-related situations I'm juggling right now. I have near no-one to talk to. Therapy is delayed. People offer dumb advice. Another day to face.

I understand where you are in this. I don't have the anchor I had up until a week ago to keep me focused on day-to-day living. Now, I'm on my own, I live far away from family, and those who might come to visit me will do so with caveats added.

i hope to find my emotional footing sooner rather than later, but it's going to be tough.

For what you are experiencing? The options we have are said to be effective, but I can't assume they are for anyone else, as they have been so inconclusive for me so far.

Still, there is hope, there is time, and there is that innate motivation to succeed and promote a healthier self. I hope I can maintain contact with that, and I hope anyone can do so as well.

Have a day that makes your life just a little bit happier.

I have similar experiences, but I can hope that you are able to reduce the effects this has on you.
