I'm in a place where I'm ready to start tackling my issues, I think, so I've been doing some research. The term PTSD has been thrown out, specifically CPTSD, since the bulk of the trauma I've faced was spread out over the course of a few years rather than a single event. I can't help but feel CPTSD is just "PTSD Lite" or "PTSD for people who don't actually have PTSD but want a cool label", and I know I'd never think that if it was a diagnosis applied to anyone but myself. I'd absolutely honor it as something real, but when it's me?
Apparently intense imposter syndrome is common in CPTSD. Hmm... I wanna look more into this.
