The (Complex) PTSD Guy

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.

The toxic nature of enabling an abuser and how this might look for someone who grew up in this environment. Making excuses for your own self-destructive behavior as an adult could be a symptom.

Toxic stress and possible remedy. I share the best article I've ever read in relation to this. I also share something I'm using to combat the way stress effects my body.

Just some updates about how my finances are stabilizing, and I didn't throw in the towel. Also will repost a really great article soon and tomorrow I'll share a health drink that I'm going to begin drinking regularly and it is specific to the health problems I've had.

Recent epiphany in relation to a different field I've been immersing myself in, and how baffled I am by the clout chasing of it all. Thankful my podcast is not like that. It's important to find real support groups with decent people, especially for our mental health.

I just cooked one of my recipes and wanted to share a few tips. Also sharing the benefits of cooking in relation to stress/Complex PTSD.

Follow up to last podcast and how certain triggers I have tend to protect me in particular situations.
