I think my anxiety and avoident issues make me look borderline!

Today was a mess.

I wanted to move to a warm dry climate.

It's not happening yet.

I distrust those I live with most of all.

Maybe this is normal for C-PTSD?
normal for cptsd that depends upon what diagnosis your treatment provider is using to explain your cptsd... you see here in america we do not have a diagnosis......label....... called cptsd.

the trauma and stress related disorders here in america are called...

Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders (category name)
Disorders in this category.....

Reactive Attachment Disorder
Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Acute Stress Disorder
Adjustment Disorders
Other Specified Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorder
Unspecified Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorder

you will find this list in the american Psychiatric Associations diagnosis book called DSM 5.

for me my CPTSD problems are called Acute Stress Disorder.

in me my anxiety and depression related to the weather used to be called Seasonal Affective Disorder is now called Major Depressive Disorder single and recurrent episodes.

my suggestion is talk with your treatment providers. they can tell you what your CPTSD is in the newer diagnostic labeling and whether what you are going through is part of that diagnosis label now.
