Having severe PTSD & Complex PTSD, feels like a continual war, with your own mind.

You live through a war – where danger is all around. Terrible things happen. It takes everything you’ve got to survive.
Then you are forced to live a war coping with heinous memories of severe abuse and horror – no-one should ever experience.
You re-live and re-experience it all, as flashbacks and nightmares.
And it sometimes feels too painful to bear.
It’s a continual battle.
A continual war.
A war you can never forget.
Because the PTSD brain won’t let you forget.

Such true words, I live in my own war for the moment and it’s challenging. But I am grateful for your site, to read your daily posts with encouraging words makes me feel less alone.

I am glad you feel less alone. And someone understands.
This is a very hard journey and I don’t minimize the severity of what we endure.

Great post. Very accurate.
For me the toughest to deal with are the body memories/flashbacks.
Out of nowhere my body relives the abuse as if it’s happening now.
This then triggers despair and shame and dissociation.
Feels like a losing battle.
Thank goodness for this safe blog!!

Finally!! Some real Justice.
In several other cases like this in USA the rapist only got 2 years & another only 60 days.
But in this case……..
California Man Sentenced To 1,503 Years For Raping Teen Daughter.
Rene Lopez, 41, never expressed remorse but instead blamed his victim
