Somewhat, though I most definitely did get a new doctor. Thank you for the concern.

I managed to get appointments with the psychiatry teams, however essentially it boiled down to it being difficult to help with CPTSD as a whole, individual aspects must be considered when each trauma differs greatly in subject matter.
So one therapy at a time. For a long time. It’s not what I wanted to hear, yet it is what I needed. I’ve been taking steps to improve my mental health in great ways, and my current doctor’s practice has been rather supportive.

It’s funny, my new doctors is only about 10 minutes further than my old one. Has been worth the change.

My expectations were far lower, without me realising it, as a child.
I remember getting Mortal Kombat 4, on the N64, and thinking “holy shit, the graphics are so good!!! SO 3D!”

My gosh the graphics did not age well.

I get stress induced hives, and my old doctor’s advice was, “just don’t be stressed”.
Thanks for not helping, I guess.

I was talking to someone about a serious and personal topic, and caught myself saying “lol” quickly, and apologised in advance explaining that it’s a habit.
“Man, that sucks lol”. They understood it already as a force of habit, yet I didn’t realise how difficult it is to shake lol!
Edit: damn it…
