Forgiveness.
I had a dream last night that I was in a glass box and I was laying inside wiping all the steam or smoke away so I could see outside. I felt such a pressure to break it, then i woke up. šI have never felt so closed in a dream yet so free at the same time. The last few years have been really hard learning myself. I believe the dream I had last night is my internal self ready to move forward andā¦

The truth
What does telling the truth mean to you? Does it mean being completely who you are alone, or completely who you are no matter who is around? The bondages people can battle are scary. So I have been refraining from writing too much here even when I have been asked. I took a step back from the Troubled Teen survivors groups back in Jan. My fellow SCL sister and I and the creator of Breaking Codeā¦

20 years
Let me try this again. Yesterday I posted and I deleted it out of fear so today I am going to push through. I have open shared about how I was taken at the age of 17. While in the middle of my Junior year, in Ventura, Ca, I was awoken in the middle of the night by two strangers. Both of them asked me to immediately exit my bed and strip out of all of my clothing. Everything was black and Iā¦

Hard Truth
Today is the first day I have ever felt safe. And while that seems overly dramatic, I have earned every right to feel this way. I cannot even begin to tell you how many friendships I have made this week and last alone. Other Mothers, Wives just like me. Our stories the same. It is so powerful and almost unreal.

Strength in Numbers
Our case is finally at the point where I am able to pour some more of my heart into this blog because so many of YOU are asking me to. Thank you yaāll!! My Daughters are my cheerleaders and leading me every step of the way. So much has happened. So much I still cannot talk about but the judge seems to see through the BS and is ruling proudly in our favor. Thank GOD! I know what documentation Iā¦

Content drop.
š I really like this picture because of Jordynās smile. I have taken on so much of my Motherās own pain throughout my life, when I said no more I was shunned. As I watched my children at their Christmas play last night, her grandchildren, it was blatantly clear her motive wasnāt to make nice or say Merry Christmas. It was to sit next to my ex Husband, his new Wife, and my step father who hasā¦

Taking care of the problem in my mouth.. Warrior style.
Today I faced one of my biggest fears in life. The dentist. I want to not only share these disgusting photos of my teeth, I want to publicly share how grateful I am to even have my teeth left in my mouth. š .13 years I battled Bulimia. While I have been in recovery for a little while now, the last part of my recovery was facing some of the damage I self inflicted for many years at the hands of myā¦

Finally Classified. Letās get the DSM revised..
I am so overwhelmed I can barely type. I was fully and completely seen today as a trafficked cult survivor, properly diagnosing me with complex post traumatic stress disorder.šš The doctor I was able to meet with not only studies complex trauma, but the physiological effects repeated or long lasting trauma has on the brain. It literally changes a personā¦.4 years ago, I set out to find a properā¦

Adrenaline waves.
I spent my entire morning off curled up like this.šSweating. Hot. Cold. Tremors. Waves of nausea ripping my stomach apart in every way possible. Itās the resurfacing the past things I am healing NOW that makes me literally physically ill. Itās why I pushed so hard to be classified Complex because most of what I share is like 10 percent of my daily struggles. SURVIVOR STRUGGLES..This isnāt aā¦

Breaking the Cult Cycle. ā
I donāt know if I have ever witnessed a Cult Survivor do what I am about to do, but I am desperate to see my brothers and sisters losing their life battle with healing from institutionalized abuse, cease. What I bravely want to write about today is my relationship with my only living blood family member left, my Mother. It always breaks my heart when people tell me I am going to regret notā¦

Getting Caught up.
I have been given the final go ahead to be able to start writing. I have not wanted to jeopardize anything really when it comes to how things are going to play out in the future. I have laid low. It may not look like it on some platforms but most of my personal free time, has been just watching. The way people react, really blows my mind. I would love to sit down and promise that I could walk youā¦

I often look over and ask my Husband if I am safe. Knowing I am, but wanting that loving, trusted validation to calm my mind and body..ā¤.Little things trip me up like a loud POP, outside or my children screaming, rushing to me, needing something right away. My first reaction is assessment, seriously to make sure we are physically safe. And then when I clear that as a Mother and prior Law Enforcement. I go into this racing moment. Where things move fast. I have to ask for help these days. Just on a loud noise. .A trigger is a trigger. Feeling that panic. Talking yourself down from such fear, doesn't happen without therapy, and understanding.. ā¤.Grateful to be able to afford therapy to help me understand what I have been through and overcome. What about those not so fortunate? That scares me. Complex Trauma is so new, unrecognized, not understood, unless you actually experienced it. .I'll leave you with this. I am not a Veteran but all of my Law Enforcement squad mates always wondered how I stayed up all night, all day. Crashed and then popped back up. This is disfunction, but when you aren't a veteran, yet a cult survivor, where do you go? Who do you talk to?.I will be speaking out more, since I have been liability cleared to do, since again, I am speaking the truth.. This beautiful process, is long..I will wrap it up but, I have been told I cannot write a book until my oldest is 18, for legality. Of course, I am mad. I waited 21 years to speak fully, but my children matter more than my full voice. .My mission: ⤠Getting every single survivor properly diagnosed Complex, so they can then file for additional benefits within their state to obtain medical cannabis, mental health resources or therapy services just to process..So much work is yet to be done and I am just getting started..ā #thecptsddiaries #cptsdwarrior #cptsdrecovery #CPTSD #cultsurvivor.The CPTSD Diaries
