Vulnerability
š My Story: It affects all aspects of my life. Something as simple as a 95 degree day can wipe me out completely with up to a week in bed. Iāve been hospitalized & the doctors couldnāt figure out the cause. I started seeing a psychiatrist, therapist & even doing weekly EMDR sessions to help me manage these symptoms. I was finally diagnosed with CPTSD at 20 years old after dealing with seizures since age 13. Finally some clarity šš½š„¹
š How I Felt: Genuinelyā¦crushed, like there was no answer. I was a part of the stigma āItās all in my headā. I refused treatment for years because I thought it would just āgo awayā or i could ājust get over itā. It made me depressed not being able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I thought iād never live close to a ānormalā life ever again.
š My Takeaways: Donāt be afraid to ask for help. Itās never ājust in your headā. They are manageable. One step at a time & Day by day things get easier. I never thought Iād even be able to talk about these things in person, let alone the internet š
