    Question: If You've Been Told You Have Complex Trauma Does That Mean Bpd?

I have the dissociative subtype of ptsd with depersonalization but not derealization and other dissociative tendencies but not DID. Have...

    Flashbacks And Thoughts

    I'm not sure. Have found that with ptsd I tend to be overly vigilant of potential bad situations and many many many.... Times unnecessarily but then being overly vigilant has saved my tail more than once!!! Not sure what to say. There's a lot of mixed up thinking with ptsd - I hear the goal is...

    Self-harm and anger

    I used to hit myself in the head and bash my head against the wall from ptsd. I just read painting and using markers on your skin to simulate cuts and stitches helps. Then it can be cleaned off and you have no scars. I don't self harm anymore but did many many years ago. It was a release of...
