CPTSD sufferer here caused by childhood physical abuse, sexual abuse and torture.

Personal daily struggles include, sensory overload, panic attacks, chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, hyper vigilance, social anxiety, disassociation and executive dysfunction.

Every day is a challenge living with an “overactive nervous system” imagine every one of your senses being turned up to overdrive. Just the lights in the grocery store, or the smell on the bus can be overwhelming.

I have come a long way with Drs support but recognise that I will never be “normal” per say but am happy taking the good days where I can :)
