Hi Peter
You have been through so much. Many of us understand the emotions you are experiencing here.
I am learning to accept myself as I am. There is too much pressure in society to be a person that is who others want us to be.
It's good you have a reason not to leave this planet. I am sure there would be unbearable pain to your family if they were to lose you especially after losing your brother.
CPTSD is trauma based and not your fault. Your are worthy in your own right.
I wonder if any of these tips can offer any solace. They take practice and are not a cure but offer support and relief when you are facing dark days.
