── .📍; self - indulgent, flag was coined by me. however, if someone already created this, consider this an alt. flag.
i did not like the other C-PTSD flags and felt they did not represent me, so i made my own as a "celebration" of now being in the process of a diagnosis.
teal & purple are both associated with PTSD awareness, and the lotus flower is a symbol of PTSD. do not come at me telling me that PTSD and CPTSD are different therefore should have different colors / symbols. they are heavily related, the only true difference being that PTSD if from a singular event & CPTSD is from multiple, complex events.
the experience of being on the receiving end of a special person attachment centered around safety and dependance from a person with cptsd
dependable person - a dependable person is trusted, safe, or depended on especially during cptsd episodes or heightened symptoms. they may be needed for safety reassurance or other similar coping mechanisms, help completing daily or ‘simple’ tasks someone with cptsd might struggle with, or are otherwise a regularly safe, helpful, and depended on by the person with cptsd. this person may be exempt from fears around safety, isolation, or other paranoia that cptsd makes one experience.
this flag is based off of this cptsd flag and symbol
the purple stripes represent visibility for both those with cptsd and their special people
the blue stripe represents compassion and care dependable people have for their person with cptsd
the dark teal stripe represents long term and/or constant dependable people

the light teal stripe represents short term and/or non-constant dependable people
the light pink stripe represents those with cptsd that might need a short term or non constant dependable person
the pink stripe represents the different experiences and needs those with cptsd might have
the red stripe represents those with cptsd that may need a long term or constant dependable person
the magenta stripe represents appreciation that those with cptsd have for their dependable people
the symbol in the middle is to represent the dependable person supporting, or ‘holding up’ the person with cptsd, who is represented by the lotus and semi colon as symbols of strength and survival
