CPTSD self-esteem struggles

It seems it is even worse, when you have CPTSD AND ADHD🤦🏻‍♀️

Validation

It also seems a bigger issue as people age...

I wouldn't be here anymore if not for the other worlds.

Why so many neurodivergent people nowadays?

It is about truth

Last week I had a job interview for a very good position at a university institute in my city. When the maybe future boss told me how great the new archbishop of our diocese is, and put all the blame on me for not finding a suitable parish. 

I got so triggered, cried all day, and then wrote a letter of rejection to the institute, stating that I do not work for anyone who supports someone who protects perpetrators rather than victims.

I find it amazing how humans do not learn from history and how ignorant humans can be. They will do anything not to admit what happened. No matter if it was sexual abuse (which did not happen to me) or another form of abuse.

Trauma recovery is not linear!

*sigh*

I experienced this yesterday during a job interview - it was awful and I cried all day.

So me 😆🫣
