The (Complex) PTSD Guy

Just a few notes about the importance of preserving for your future. I added two photos of my city on the Twitter page... The Complex PTSD Guy.

Just a few helpful things that help me live with Complex PTSD and they might help you too.

Some points about seeing things in a new way.

The importance of slowing down/putting quality time into things. Are you rushing through life? We all have a tendency to do this, but I want to share why it's important to slow down and give quality time to things.

Want to share how that financial planning class that I took a few months ago is having positive effects on other areas of my life that I wouldn't have expected. I'm starting my New Year this Friday January 20th.

Important, that even though we have Complex PTSD we also have tons of positive qualities too. Sometimes it helps to write these down and keep as a reminder. Looking at life through a different lens.

Sharing something interesting that happened yesterday/today too.

Do you have a tendency to put up with more than most people would? I do, and I want to share my theory about this.

Just some tips on how getting things done can help you feel better. Change up your environment and try something new.

Things I do that help me to stop procrastinating. Just get up and do it.

Some points about how changing your diet can affect your mood, especially around the holidays. Get back into your routine.

I'm sharing a video that is publicly known, it is the adult daughter of BTK. She describes living with chronic PTSD, after finding out at the age of 26 just how dangerous her father really is. Her story is very powerful. You can find it on my Twitter, The Complex PTSD Guy.

Lots of similarities between CPTSD and Dissociative Identity Disorder. Also how looking at CPTSD in relation to Diabetes or Heart Disease might help people understand it better.

Just a couple other techniques to help with stress and increase physical strength/prevention. Also I might do a future podcast about adult children of parents who have committed extreme crimes and how that adult child was effected and how they cope.

Start out the New Year with some coping techniques, these are some that have worked for me. Also, two book recommendations, one is about aromatherapy and the other about PTSD and the military.

Just a quick follow up to the last podcast and what it's like growing up around someone who is self-serving. "Whatever way the wind blows", or whatever suits their needs that day. 😆 I think this can have wishy-washy effects on a kid's personality.

Some important reminders of what might help you to move forward in life.

Describing the difference between something that's merely a hobby or even a support group vs finding a game group. Really important for overall enjoyment/life satisfaction to find a specific game group for mere pleasure.

This podcast is an addition to my last one.

I share a few things I plan to integrate into my life this coming year.

When people play you or hold things over your head.

Just wanted to share a book I'm reading, and how I find it interesting to look at things from the standpoint of behavior.

Details about what I refer to as the Set-up, which is something I've experienced hundreds of not thousands of times. And Triangulation in relationships. Both involve living with or being in a relationship with a narcissist.

Importance of getting a proper diagnosis.

Story about the morning after the last day I drank alcohol. Making cuts to my expenses is coming to fruition and the feeling it gave me inspired me in a way I've never felt before.
