I self-diagnosed myself with C-PTSD although my T said only PTSD. I disagree with her diagnosis. The reason I have the former is I have significant flashbacks of multiple abuses by multiple people. Mostly my family too! They don't care and I have no 'voice' in the family. Instead I'm mostly ignored and seen as the problem. I experienced C-PTSD nearly every day with debilitating flashbacks that are incredibly intense. I'm amazed I can hold down a full-time job! I experienced sexual and psychological abuse as a child and most of it is at age 12, as I was starting to develop! The flashbacks only started almost four years ago and a flood of memories since then have come to the surface. It is quite deplorable what my family members did to me especially at age 12. I hope my internal world will one day settle!
