I think i may have complex CPTSD

I want to bring this up so maybe my psycholosit can help with coping mechanisms… im not sure if its possible of years of emotional bullying can cause me to feel it happening repeatedly in the workplace even though its most likely not…

School was difficult to leave i felt very trapped never allowed to have a day off …

When it happens at work … i know its in my head but its almost like I feel im at school and reliving things …

It’s something to explore at least. If you get treatment, maybe work will become easier

Psychologist is treating me for ptsd. We might try EMDR. I think you should defiantly bring it up to your psychologist and hopefully she can help.

Think its about being exposed to repeated trauma for maybe a long time (in my case from 5 to 16)… and then it almost feels like reliving those experiences in the workplace… the threat is not there but the environment is one of the triggers … so i feel the emotions I felt before its hard to explain

PTSD is difficult. I had a massive anxiety attack the other day when a jet flew over our house. My legs were shaking and like jelly and I was trembling and my heart was racing a mile a minute.
