I struggle with Complex-PTSD, just the same as I struggle with arthritis and sacroiliac joint dysfunction!
Putting it into this context empowers me! ... Of course, early on I was like OMG!, I'm defective!
But after 23.5 years of hard work, I no longer see myself that way!
I will continue to fight the good fight!
I may have these conditions, but they don't have me!
