Hi Kizzie I have recently been informed that I have CPTSD. I am a HSP ( Highly Sensitive Person) and so had issues growing up with bullying and feelings of isolation whilst growing up, however the real issue I had was having to deal with neglect and abusive within my 26 year marriage. Because of this I have real difficulty with personal relationships. Since my divorce 6 years ago I have found it extremely difficult to have a relationship at almost any level. Small things can trigger flashbacks,and I have found myself experiencing emotional breakdown at times. There have been at least 2 occasions when I have gotten really closed to someone when I have had what I can only describe as an emotional breakdown.
Just by being told that the most likely cause of this is CPTSD has been a real turning point for me. After a few years of wondering whether I am growing crazy I now have an explanation and a pathway to recovery.
