How common is this?
Hey guys,
My partner has some bad CPTSD, as well as many other mental health plus physical health related issues. Recently my partner went through a triggering day in an ER visit for her current physical stomach pain, the doctor didnt really listen and didntbhelp her with the pain. During the time we were waiting till we saw the doctor her anxiety got pretty bad, getting much worse after seeing the doctor and not being given any medication that could help her pain. She pretty much spiraled into a negative feedback loop of telling herself she didnt have any value and got into an extremely depressive episode for over 2 days, she shuts herself off and becomes upset, angry, self loathing, and unwilling to take her medication.
My question is, is this common amongst folks with cptsd? Honestly she wasnt feeling that great going into the hospital that day but after that trigger she definitely had a strong change in emotions, almost feels like I deal with another person when she goes through the traumatic event.
I feel pretty alone when it comes to dealing with someone with such intense emotions and kind of like confused almost? More like it feels like i cant relay this type of information to anyone since not.many people could understand this.
She does have medical PTSD and its gotten much worse because she's so ill so she basically has to retraumatize her self very often by constantly going back into to the hospital.
