It'd be weird for CPTSD survivors to experience what we have, & NOT struggle w/ hopelessness or suicidal ideation. The world struggles to accept or respond to that very common symptom w/ realism & support-- but it's real important WE not shame ourselves for it or overreact to it.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I got precariously close to my 'very bad place' this week. Illness led to work loss so fear of homelessness spiked with the rent due.
Support from friends & being able to work again pulled me away from 'very bad place'. I feel hope now, a few days after thinking I might never feel safe again.

Interesting! I have CPTSD and around 10 years ago I made up my own detailed little points system to make all tasks easier to complete. It was the only way I could get things done. I live by it still now, but I know the system so well it just goes on in the background of my head.
Sustainable CPTSD recovery means getting serious about values clarification & goal achievement strategies in ways that many normies never do.
It's not just symptom management. It's life development on a level that the "just leave the past in the past" people can't understand.
