CPTSD is not a "mental illness." CPTSD an injury to our nervous & endocrine systems. CPTSD increases our vulnerability to physical pain & illness. CPTSD makes our relationships complicated in ways we do not choose or want. No one "chooses" CPTSD. CPTSD is NOT due to "victim mindset." Survivors do not identify as having CPTSD because it is "trendy."

And: CPTSD is NOT the ultimate destiny of ANYONE reading this.
