    Perpetuating Chaos

    I was wondering if CPTSD and "danger seeking" or creating chaos in our lives may be connected. Does desensitization warp our minds so much that what is bad is not only "normal" for us but subconsciously pursued? Any thoughts?

    I'm Trying Not To Hide

    I'm too used to being a hermit. I know I need to open up and interact with people in order to make any progress but it's so hard. I finally agreed to let my sister-in-law visit today and I'm watching the clock and feeling sick. I just want to be alone. I hate this. I'm so not like her, she...
