Hi all! This is a temporary pin while we think about what kinds of things we're comfortable sharing.
We're kulupu Gestalt, a polyfrag collective, and this is just kind of our alt account for stuff that's too System™ to clog up main, and other miscellaneous tidbits.

Trauma Brain will try to get you to dismiss recovery tools like self-talk, visualization, & purposeful breathing as "silly" or weak sauce or otherwise not worth trying-- but don't let it trick you into assuming that because a tool sounds "simple," it's superficial or ineffective.

CPTSD is like someone in your ear, 24/7, listing all the ways you suck, & anyone who says you don't suck doesn't "really" know you, & you may as well not try to not suck, because you just SUCK so much.
And they don't shut up & they don't get tired & they don't stray off message.

Being a headmate is weird because sometimes you pick up an object and are hit with the realisation that this thing you use every single day predates your existence as an individual

Everyone feels child-like when an emotional flashback hits. There's no need for shame, & no "shoulds" when it comes to reactions we don't choose & are actively woking to manage.
Meet those reactions w/ compassion & patience-- you know, those things you needed as a child.

Starting over after we relapse or otherwise crash isn't a "failure." Trauma Brain is going to try to frame it as a "failure," but it's actually evidence of enormous maturity & commitment.
So it was a sh*t day or night. Do the next right-- i.e., recovery supporting-- thing.

They're going to tell you "it must not be that bad," because you're "functioning" at a "high" level-- because they don't understand dissociation.
Their ignorance is what it is-- but don't let your "functionality" convince you "it must not be bad." You know it's not that simple.

We're going to have imperfect moments because we're human-- & our trauma conditioning is going to both make those moments even cringier, & try to convince us we "can't" be forgiven for or rebound from them.
Prove your CPTSD wrong by being relentlessly gentle & fair to yourself.

CPTSD survivors w/ a history of being gaslit & coerced need to be very intentional w/ how we consume & engage on social media. Influencers & algorithms are not "neutral," & often don't value our emotional or intellectual autonomy.

give it a rest dude. i've had queer friends since i was at least 5. i wrote under a gay black persona in a zine as a teen in the 60s. i've been the only straight dude in a queer performance art space & teased for it by the performer who i was there to support. i REALLY don't have time for yr BS.

Something you're going to notice as you work your trauma recovery: being reflexively silent because you're intimidated or in a "freeze" response feels very different than choosing silence because you're opting out of a toxic exchange that doesn't support your recovery.

Beginning meditation can be rough for CPTSD survivors, for some of the same reasons falling asleep is rough. Our head's full of chatter (or worse), & we don't love surrendering "control."
Don't force it. Start w/ tiny increments of gently focused attention, & build up slowly.

Dissociation-- up to & including DID-- is more common that the culture around us will ever want to admit.
Talking & working w/ our "parts" does not make us some kind of "fragile" weirdo. It makes us realistic & adaptable in designing a recovery & a life.

I think if you are self aware enough to recognise that you are having The Mental Health Disorder, the disorder should just give up, throw it's hands in the air and go "you got me" and leave
