Living in the southwest, I've learned what to do to fight the heat. Drinking a bunch of water, swimming, cold showers and ice cream; all of these help some.

Forming relationships with C-PTSD is a *****. It's tricky and leads to severe insecurity. Somehow I've made some and I'm grateful for that.

I'm here for you. It is possible to have a future with this. I'm miserable now but maybe that will change, who knows?
