Complex PTSD

I was just reading something about Complex PTSD, what I understood is that, contrary to "regular" PTSD where people were victims of one traumatic life-threatening event, Complex PTSD is caused by repeated events, such as bullying, abusive relationships, repeated sexual abuse... I don't know if the symptoms are worse, I don't have enough knowledge about that. But this got me thinking, I might have some form of complex PTSD due to bullying. It's not as serious as most people who suffer from it, I can still live normally most of the time. But some of the symptoms described remind me of some situations.

The symptoms are worse because they include the PTSD symptoms and then cause additional symptoms on top of that. You may have it. There are a lot of situations that can cause it. You don't have to suffer. There are treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy that can be really helpful :hug:

Same as for bullying, I don't think i have this disorder but I suffered from depersonalization which was a nightmare because you completely loose yourself and sense of reality and that used to cause me panic attacks. Now it's better but I still have some problems with socializing, even with people I already know, and my mood is a bit swingy..

She was just trying too hard to be avant-garde artful here. Like the rest of the ARTPOP era.

She is indeed avant-agard art, herself. In this particular case I think it was exhaustion of not sleeping.
