I have C-PTSD and found it impossible to express myself verbally. So I began to break down my illness through the Art I loved. Check out my recovery blog.

Every interaction I have at work the voices comment on. I feel a prickly sensation as if someone is standing right behind my ear each time

Constant barrage of negative thoughts not great for productive working life - so I negotiate a space later when they get my attention again
4/4 and emotional understanding of me when i was only about 8. So I need to speak with them as such. Or they get hurt and threatened.
3/4 Its like speaking with a child. They represent a very young part of myself, they are stuck with the reason...
2/4 Calmly listening, reassuring and explaining that this is not the case. that they have a mental filter and only see the negative.
1/4 few tasks complete but the voices have bombarded me with reminders of moments I am embarrassed about as 'proof' that I am a failure.

8/8 its a problem in its own right. Especially now I am removed from abuse, safe and making a success of my life.
7/8 so I was able to react and to defend myself at any time. They keep me in the fight mode not flight. It was once a help - but now ...
6/8 When I was being abused I was taught that bad things could happen at any time. My voices developed to make me feel on guard all the time
5/8 that they have been heard but that I do not need their 'help'. I listen and respond which calms them down for the drive to the office!
4/8 Putting on makeup and perfume gives me time to enjoy myself but also to sit and soothe the voices. To reassure them.
3/8 The voices think they are helping me by putting me on edge. Its the remnants of a past coping strategy... "You're a failure you know!".
2/8 with will power I made it up, showered and dressed. In the shower they comment on my body - a favourite of theirs- for I have wobbles.
1/8 Morning was good. I hear 5 voices who grumbled that I had already failed before I had even gotten out of bed.
