In my first blog in the C-PTSD Series: What Is It and What Can We Learn From It?, I mentioned that I had attended a support group put on by Thrive ICT and went online to find more information. The first blog discussed causes of C-PTSD, and this blog will delve into what C-PTSD feels like. According to the Out of the Fog website, C-PTSD sufferers may have the following feelings: "People who suffer from C-PTSD may feel un-centered and shaky, as if they are likely to have an embarrassing emotional breakdown or burst into tears at any moment. They may feel unloved - or that nothing they can accomplish is ever going to be "good enough" for others. People who suffer from C-PTSD may feel compelled to get away from others and be by themselves, so that no-one will witness what may come next. They may feel afraid to form close friendships to prevent possible loss should another catastrophe strike. People who suffer from C-PTSD may feel that everything is just about to go "out the window" and that they will not be able to handle even the simplest task. They may be too distracted by what is going on at home to focus on being successful at school or in the workplace." Stay tuned for the next blog in the series for C-PTSD characteristics, and in upcoming blogs for additional cures that may be different from traditional therapies for the initial causes of the trauma.
