If you’re on this journey too, say hi in the replies. Let me know one thing that’s helping you cope today (coffee counts ☕️).
#PTSD #TraumaRecovery #MentalHealth

I’ll be posting resources, coping tools, and the occasional meme because sometimes you just have to laugh at the chaos of the nervous system.

Here, we believe:

🔹 Healing isn’t linear (spirals are normal).
🔹 "Functional" doesn't mean "fine."
🔹 You aren't broken, you're injured.
🔹 No toxic positivity allowed.

Living with PTSD/C-PTSD can feel like your operating system is running on a different version than everyone else’s.

The hypervigilance. The flashbacks. The exhaustion.
I’m not a doctor. I’m a peer. I’m here to share the notes I’ve taken from the trenches of recovery.

Brilliant photo, first saw Daphnia & Cyclops 45 years ago as 10 year old with a tasco microscope. I collected a glass jar of pond water from St. Stephens Green Park in Dublin. I also saw my first Hydra as well from the same sample. Great times.
