having trouble ‘connecting’ or feeling much during episode
i’m just kinda looking for reassurance here for people who share this symptom. i have c-ptsd and the first week of july is extremely hard for me, these past couple of days my body has felt like it’s been in survival mode. it’s hard because when i get like this my brain starts to feel really buzzy and i dissociate super hard, it’s really hard to be present with friends or partners. ive been talking to someone new recently and it’s been hard navigating this with him because i know ive been quiet and extra brain dead. i’m still learning how to be comfortable talking about my c-ptsd with him, haven’t even used the diagnosis term yet because it’s hard for me, something i’ve found really difficult is feeling connected to him during this- last week it feels like i was fine and felt close to him but now it just doesn’t feel there. i know this is purely my body being in survival mode and doing what it needed to back then, but anyone have any tips or can provide any reassurance that im not alone with this stuff?
