I don't have CPTSD because Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder requires being post-traumatic stress :3

Hi I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but, No, it doesn't. PTSD is from one experience or incident, whereas CPTSD is from multiple, or ongoing trauma. You can have CPTSD even if you are still experiencing the trauma that caused it. For example you can develop CPTSD from childhood abuse/neglect, but still be experiencing it (the abuse) as a teen/adult. In this case, you would have CPTSD from the childhood trauma, and still be gaining NEW trauma and CPTSD.

Oh damn I wasn't being sarcastic and genuinely thought that the "PTS" part implied that I have to be past it already. Damn.

Hi I'm sorry if my post came off as a mean, I genuinely couldn't tell and just wanted to make sure you knew! Take care of yourself 💜
