Hello! This looks like a place for me lol.

I love prompts. 

What I wish people knew about cptsd - the little things that could be a trigger that you'd never even think of unless you'd been through it.

A slight change in facial expressions, someone closing a door or putting something down too loudly make me tense up and almost stop breathing like I'm waiting for what's next. Thankfully, provided I'm in a good place, I can breathe through it and remind myself that it's okay, but that jolt is always there.

On the flip side - when I hear someone whistling as they do things, it makes me feel calmer. My mum would only whistle when things were okay in the house so I knew it would be safe to leave the room. I kinda don't like that it makes me happy lol.

I don't know how to respond to a lot of the conversations in these threads - but I have read a lot here from a lot of wonderful individuals 🩷
