Who Am I? Pt 2
You. Who am I? I am a person who suffers from complex posttraumatic stress disorder. That's CPTSD, and it's happened from my childhood all the way until my adult years. Now, when I say that I have post traumatic stress disorder and it's complex, it's because of ongoing stress and being in an environment that was not healthy

I live in Indiana and my blood relatives live in several other states.

I've never really heard you say the word like me. So if there is a way for you to spend some time with just yourself, whether you are walking in nature, just having a quiet moment, ten minutes alone to yourself, I know as a single mother, when I was a single mother, this would have been like the late ninety s.

You. Thank you so much for replying to my post. I've actually done a lot of self help work. I've been going to therapy for pretty long time, I would say. I have read the four agreements. I've never read the one that you suggested, but I am going to look for that one and give that one a good read. But I appreciate your advice. I appreciate your kind words and thank you so much. Bye

But it's very easy to get caught up in all of that and put everyone else before yourself. And you're absolutely right. I have not given myself enough grace as I'm the worst on myself
