I’ve had bad anxiety most of my life, had a lot of regular emotional trauma/neglect + some other things growing up. Then I got roped into an extremely abusive relationship with an actual sociopath for two years. I feel like I “should” have developed PTSD from it, but afaik I don’t meet the criteria for it, but I do for trauma. Granted, it’s been 10 years since I went through that and I did quite a bit of self-therapeutic MDMA over the years, and I only got the PTSD test last year
