Probably a random question, but when confronted with the fact one may have cptsd by their friends (and apparently fits all but one of the diagnostic criteria (that "one" they're just unsure if it applies to them or not)), is it normal for one to begin to overthink and wonder what parts of oneself actually is and isn't caused by trauma?
It is very common, and CPTSD can overlap with many other things. Like, in the rare chance BPD isnāt caused by CPTSD, the symptoms for that could look like CPTSD. Itās good to do your own research if possible, or even talk to a specialist (though Ik some people canāt do that.)
A difficult thing about CPTSD is that people with it often will underestimate their trauma because of amnesia surrounding it, or other reasons. Itās very common for people with it to not remember or feel numb about their actual trauma. Stay safe!
Idk why I said that but it feels funny so I'm keeping it
I'm curious, how do you differentiate what symptoms come from what disorder?
I know that they obviously have different symptoms but like with DID and BPD for example there's an overlap with the unstable sense of self,
That's just the first example that came into my head but yea

Unfortunately I have a lot of trouble with that myself. When you have as many disorders as I have, itās very hard. The only reason I personally say I have so many is because professionals have told me I have all of these. Not saying self-diagnosing this many is wrong, itās just something personal.
Do NOT be my friend if youāre going to get mad at me for telling you the same thing multiple times or for needing you to repeat things. I have DID with heavy amnesia⦠what do you expect š
May I ask whatās itās like having HPD? Apologizes, I suspect I have HPD, however I would like to hear others experiences for research purposes.

What's your personal experience with DPD? We've been questioning it for some time and are hoping to relate š
Not saying this to peer diagnose you, but we are unable to make emotional/social situations without the guidance of others. We are unable to make or leave friends without asking people we are close with first. We are unable to choose specifics or control the group when making plans. We are very passive and apologize a lot and always feel weāve done something wrong or people are mad at us. It conflicts weirdly with our HPD, and we are likely much more outgoing than many individuals with DPD.
We are also fortunate in the way that we can get many non-social things done on our own. Though we donāt feel capable enough to drive, we can often do stuff like school work, even if itās difficult and we rely heavily on support.
It comes from a feeling of us being āless-thanā or less capable than others, as well as the desire to be seen that way so others will help and take care of us.
My main issues lie with safety and memory. Starting with memory, many of my parts have high amnesia between each other. Weāll forget people weāve met, how to do assignments in school, conversations weāve had, etc. We have to do the best we can to make it by with little memory of most things weāve done.
Adding onto that, I canāt remember almost anything from my childhood within the ages my trauma took place, which is about 5-8 and 14. I have to cope with the fact I canāt remember a ton of my life, which makes me feel inhuman and empty.
We have many persecutors and trauma holders, two being some of our hosts (Ame and Marvin) who often put us in physical danger due to severe CPTSD/PD symptoms and flashbacks. We cannot control switches, so we have to do our best to manage and control what we can to avoid situations where our life may be at risk.
What was it like when you first realized you had DID??
My therapist spotted it extremely young, and I was very lucky for that. She told me. I believe I was 13. Ever since Iāve been treated for it in therapy. I was extremely shocked even though I suspected it being a possibility for a bit prior. I thought I was too young to know. Apparently things like that can happen. A point Iād like to add is that under no circumstances should people get frightened or upset if they canāt immediately understand their parts. It takes time, often years, especially with high amnesia barriers. Donāt give up. Youāve got this.
whats having bipolar like when its mixed with your other disorders,, specficicslly bpd? we have suspicions of many disorders but are scared to try and get them diagnosed because so many things could be confused for other things yk,,
Hmm, itās really complicated. When we are manic, our other symptoms tend to feel more intense and flared up due to how being manic makes our brain hard to relax, and also often puts us in psychosis.
The way the doctors found out I also was bipolar was actually because I only show MAJOR psychotic symptoms when manic, as long as my sleep patterns being messed up
Impulsivity is a real struggle during manic episodes, as itās already a huge issue with our BPD and HPD. Last episode we had, we texted our abuser after months of no contact and got seriously hurt during an attempt
every time i see you like one of my posts i freak the fuck out bc OMG ??????? woah cool person alert cool person alert
