I also have C-PTSD ... Here's another link that may help answer your question ...

There is also a book called Trauma & Recovery by Judith Herman ... She's the Doctor who first identified the differences between the two ... She's struggling mightily to get it listed in the DSMV but has had little luck so far ...
It hasn't been an easy journey, but it's been a worthwhile one ... For me it was a great relief to finally be able to put a name on what had been troubling me my whole life ...
I wish you the best, and don't give up ... It does get better ... It just takes time ...
Be extra Patient, Gentle & Kind with yourself ... Now more than ever ...
Sincerely,
