I'm dealing with three crisis in my life: with my family of origin, with my daughter, and with my fiancé. I'm totally emotionally burnt out. I'm powerless and I'm having a hard time accepting that. I'm having a very tough time having good boundaries with myself on what I'm responsible for. I wonder if a person with C-PTSD has limits. I've already been diagnosed with a mood disorder the last time I saw my NP because of the crisis in my FOO. I'm wondering if my bottom is going to drop. I guess my question is what have others done to prevent their bottom from going any lower? For me my bottom lowering was admitting to my NP that I had suicidal thoughts, that's what got me the mood disorder diagnosis.
That was new, I had not had one of those before.

Also from my understanding C-PTSD is not a diagnostic code. Is that correct?

I have never had good boundaries, my entire life people have used, abused, and manipulated me. I don't always say no when I want or need to. Bad things have happened because I haven't made boundaries. I have bipolar, borderline personality, depression, anxiety, and complex PTSD. The c-PTSD is from a domestic violence relationship I was in, and in therapy I've learned I've dealt with long term abuse from close people my whole life and I have no boundaries. My life is hell now. My ex is a narcissistic sociopath and has destroyed my life and my family. Before things get any worse for you, set clear boundaries and enforce them!!! Don't allow people to mistreat you anymore, it only leads to misery. Make a chart with 6 boxes- 1. I am 2. I am not 3. I want 4. I don't want 5. I will 6. I will not. Fill in as much as you can and implement it in your life, do not be ashamed of standing up for your needs! Good luck!
