For those saying "you CAN heal!!" or stuff like that- no, we can't.
Like, yeah, we can go to therapy and live meaningful lives, but people with C-PTSD's brains develop differently. That's something we have to live with forever.
It's not a 'woe is me' thing or 'guess I'll never try to heal'. I'm happy. I live a great life.
But it's a lot to process and come to grips with, no matter how much work we do on ourselves. We deserve to be able to grapple with the enormity of that without positivity shoved down our throats.
insane to me that because of how my parents acted towards me as a child my brain was irrevocably changed and now i just have to suffer the rest of my life because of it
