PTSD/CPTSD non military (lemmy.world)

Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war.

recently I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a horrific home life growing up. Anyway all this has compounded to were I feel like an outsider.

I know cptsd is somewhat common and I'm wondering if anyone remembers this narrative in the news, and if anyone with PTSD/CPTSD has felt similarly?

The c denotes that the trauma isn't from one event or small window of events.

Your last paragraph I feel I had witnessed with someone in a cptsd community who used cptsd as a means to push a racial agender and it infuriated me listening to them, I left due to that person, I felt guilty doubting if they actually had cptsd but after multiple others reaching out about this person I feel somewhat justified
