#Psychology #complexPTSD #cptsd #traumainformed #traumasurvivor

Psychology says CPTSD is constantly feeling unsafe even when you're completely safe. It's constantly feeling like the trauma is about to happen again even though it's been over for years.
It's having extreme hypervigilance even when everything's fine around you. There's never a break

DID EXPLAINED
SIMPLY
WHAT IS DID?
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a creative and effective way for the mind to cope with trauma, especially at a young age.
WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?
When someone goes through traumatic experiences, parts of the mind may "split off" in order to help them survive and navigate the world. These parts might feel like different "ages" or "people."
KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER:
• Having DID isn't your fault.
• Your system is doing its best to protect you.
• You are not broken - you deserve kindness and support.
KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER:
• Having DID isn't your fault.

#chronicillness #disability

When you can't work because of chronic illness or disability.
What they think it is: endless free time, fun, do whatever you want whenever you want, vacations, laziness.
What it actually is: symptoms, symptom management, resting to recover, resting so you don't get worse, too much pain and fatigue to do anything, doctor's appointments, pharmacy runs, researching your illness, boredom, loneliness.

WHEN A DOCTOR FINALLY LISTENS
When you've been dealing with the same symptoms for years, you get really familiar with being brushed off. You go to appointment after appointment hoping someone will finally listen, and most don't. So when one doctor finally does and gives you real answers, it's almost overwhelming. Not just because you were right, but because you can't help thinking about how much time, energy, and health might've been saved if that had happened earlier.

Winnie the Pooh is the ultimate mental health book. Piglet had had anxiety, rabbit had narcissistic, personality disorder, Tigger was hyperactive, Eeyore was depressed and Pooh was confused. And Christopher Robin hallucinated the whole thing

#survivor #anxiety #cptsd

There's a reason why so many survivors watch the same shows again and again: when life has been (often tragically) unpredictable and uncontrollable, you NEED something that you KNOW plays out the same way every time...and that you can stop and start as YOU want.

#cerebralpalsy #disability #disabledsky #pwd

Living with cerebral palsy means finding humor, and telling just that others never seen. After helps keep me moving, even when my hamstrings have other plans. Disability doesn’t define me; joy will always keep me smiling.

When I say “I’m fine”, I mean… Today I have symptoms, but they’re manageable. I am not in a flare. But I am still suffering. My head feels like it’s above water today, but I’m still drowning. Don’t confuse my definition of ‘fine’ with yours.

✨ Soft Grit Spoonie ✨@softgritspoonie· Jul 3

Fatigue is not laziness, pain is not weakness. Brain fog is not carelessness. Needing rest does not selfishness. Fibromyalgia symptoms can affect what you do. But they do not define who you are. You’re still a whole person. Still worthy. Still valuable. Still you

Disability Pride
Flag Redesign
Explained

The original flag, on the left, was created by Ann Magill in 2019.
The zigzags were meant to signify the many barriers disabled people must maneuver.
It was soon discovered that the pattern and high contrast caused issues for people with vision disabilities.
The flag was redesigned, as shown on the right, to be more accessible to all.

Pickles are basically cucumbers that went through something and came out more valuable and loved.
You've got this.
You're just fermenting.

#Summer #reminder

a summer reminder
If you're taking medication for your mental healhh...
This is your reminder to stay hydrated.
Some antidepressants and antipsychotics can make it harder for your body to regulate heat.
If you've been feeling more exhausted, overwhelmed, or unwell lately, the heat may be playing a role.
Drink water. Stay cool. Take care of yourself.

This is the type of therapy I’m starting with my shrink. #therapysky #therapistsky

Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) is the gold-standard, evidence-based cognitive behavioral treatment for persistent nightmares. It works by helping you rewrite distressing dream scripts to include positive or neutral endings, then mentally rehearsing these new scenarios while awake to naturally retrain your brain's sleep-state responses.

How It Works: The 4-Step Process
You do not need to delve into the traumatic origins of the dreams during this process. The technique is straightforward:
1. Recall: Identify and write down the exact details of a recurring or distressing nightmare.
2. Rescript: Intentionally rewrite the dream's ending or middle to be pleasant, manageable, or empowering.
3. Rehearse: Visualize and practice your new, rewritten dream script for 10 to 20 minutes daily, preferably right before bed.
4. Repeat: Continue this daily practice until your brain naturally adapts to the new script, reducing the frequency and intensity of the nightmares.
