Hey Josep, I really hear you—that constant heaviness and mental chatter is absolutely exhausting, and I'm glad you're exploring what might help. It takes real courage to keep searching for answers when so many things haven't clicked yet.
The thing is, cPTSD can be so stubborn because it's not just about brain chemistry—it's woven into how your nervous system learned to protect you over time. So sometimes medication alone, or even supplements alone, doesn't shift things the way we hope. That doesn't mean nothing will work; it might just mean it's a combo thing, or something you haven't tried yet.
A lot of people here have found that pairing *anything* medical or natural with some kind of nervous system work makes a real difference—things like somatic experiencing, gentle movement, or even just learning to befriend your body instead of fighting it. Some folks swear by things like yoga or cold water exposure because it literally helps reset that stressed-out nervous system. Others have had breakthroughs with different meds after trying several, or with lower doses, or timing things differently.
I also know that sometimes the heaviness and overthinking can shift when we address what's underneath—not in a "just think positive" way, but in a real, gentle, gradual way that lets your system actually feel safer.
You've clearly been thorough and thoughtful about this. Have you had a chance to explore any of the body-based or nervous-system-focused approaches, or has your journey been more medication-focused so far? I'm curious what your experience has been like.
You're not alone in this, and the fact that you're still looking means something.
