- /r/CPTSD
It feels so deeply reminiscent of my abusers, never facing any consequences for how much they ruined my life. They destroyed parts of me permanently, and all I can do is hope to 
with them for the rest of my life. My CPTSD will never be cured, and the people who gave me this lifelong debilitating illness get away Scott free.
Watching Trump not only get his insurrection case dismissed, but win another presidency, AND now get away with no actual punishment for his 34 felony counts just makes me feel sick and hopeless. If a former President can commit such horrific crimes against our freedom and democracy and get another presidency and a slap on the wrist, how should we expect any abuser to ever be held accountable for what they've done? And all of the smug hatred and violence that's going to be spurred on by all of this⦠at least last time the only minority status I had was being half black and a woman. This time I'm enemy number one because I transitioned.
I just want to work my stupid job, eat sometimes and have a roof over my head. It's all I've ever fricking wanted to just have peace and feel okay in my body and in my life. I had my entire childhood stolen from me just to be on the receiving end of direct targeting by my government's incoming President, who won't be held accountable for ANY of the crimes he's committed.
It feels so so incredibly unfair and triggering. I don't know how else to explain it. I just feel completely and totally distraught and disoriented and terrified. I genuinely think that this was the downfall of the US. I don't think we're going to have another election in 4 years, the same way Putin stole the election in Russia and has used voter suppression and intimidation to become president again every election since.
I'm terrified that the best I ever got was already what I had.

Hahaha the C stands for complex? So these middle class depressed Redditors think they have a more extreme version of PTSD than soldiers who've seen the horrors of war?

It's a term that's supposed to describe a person who has a mountain of small traumas that add up to have a comparable level of psychiatric harm to one major traumatic event. It's real, but most of the people who claim to have it are self-diagnosed. Even with genuine cases they are extremely difficult people to deal with because having a billion fricking different issues means there's a billion little things that can and will set them off.

It's more of another poorly named mental disorder along the same lines as how schizoid and schizophrenia have very little to do with each other and specifically related to fricked up home environments but most of them are larping in that regard anyways.
