Self-Care – Self-Care is anything you do to reduce stress and take care of your physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual health and well-being. Those with CPTSD expend a lot of time and energy dealing with internal chaos and real/perceived external dangers. This is energy that they do not have to truly take care of themselves in a healthy, nurturing and life affirming fashion. One major aspect of recovery from CPTSD involves (re)learning how to care for the self (e.g., physically, emotionally, cognitively, spiritually, socially, financially).
Learning to hide.
Constant anxiety. Unability to experience pleasure. Overwhelming feelings of guilt.
A dance to the music of time.

I know we all have it in us to sometimes be mean or bad – either willingly or unwillingly – but one thing I never want to be is aloof.
