Content advisory: Trauma ⚠️
Hello everyone; I have been struggling with trauma symptoms today, and my parents aren't helping with that. More specifically, I am struggling with flashbacks, rumination, and intense thoughts because of the exclusion I have endured throughout my life because of my diagnoses, which I feel has triggered several PTSD symptoms. My parents did not help with these symptoms because they took the side of the people who exclude me, and they invalidated my experiences with this disorder. An episode that occurred yesterday evening was very triggering for me, and I am now considering whether I feel I struggle with PTSD or a similar, more severe disorder known as CPTSD. I would like to disclose that I am safe at home in this moment; I just did not appreciate how I was treated with regard to my trauma from exclusion. Thanks for understanding.
