Something beyond CPTSD

[Ayisha]

I was diagnosed with CPTSD three years ago.I was devastated to learn that it is incurable. I had always hoped that whatever condition i had had almost all of my life would have some remedy. But that is not the case. I was so resentful about my trauma as a child. I grieved for my lost persona. I wondered what type of person i was supposed to be like. It was all a shock to me. I had enormous support from my psyche and my 3rd husband. I was angry for a long time... but i had no choice but to accept my fate and try and work with it the best way i could. I had to find way to obtain something beyond CPTSD! But even though it is three years on...i still hold some resentment. Who else knows these feelings?

I don’t look at it as ‘curable’. I look at it as ‘remission’. The things that happened to us need to be drawn out and treated like a cancer, if it’s left in there it can disease so many other things.... if it’s treated it can be dealt with and it’s destruction reduced. Once you’ve been diagnosed with cancer you are never ‘free’ of it, you just have remission and continue to get Check ups to see how you’re travelling, I see it much the same. If you can get your PTSD into perspective and function with as much normalacy as possible then you can get to a stage of remission, there is heaps of research to support people recovering from the illness, but will it ever completely disappear?... I don’t think so. It just depends on your reaction to the treatment.

Just my perspective.....
