Yes I've talked about it. I've been quiet about things for decades and after my delayed onset I have behaviors I can't hide. Most things I had a few years ago ( putting my fist to my forehead when anxious) have settled down with practice and meds. I still have that amateur karate startle reflex, my eye contact still goes around the room at times. I'm listening and trying my best to do so but the way in wandering around the room when very stressed might look like I'm distracted.
I have told my husbands family. They are good with it and just want me to be well. I have lost my step sisters after I started talking about things that were done to me because some of it was their father ( beating me with a yardstick) I talk about my experiences on facebook. Only have a small group of friends and relatives.
My goal is to put a face on the events that gave me CPTSD. I have had to even bring it up at dentist because I'm stuck in this seat, can see the person looking at my teeth, but the person standing behind her walking back and forth is making me feel threatened. ( I said uncomfortable instead of threatened to them)
