I wanted to do some art regarding CPTSD and suicide awareness and just what comments and things I've been through in the past year. I'm hoping when I'm out of my situation I can look back on this and see how I've healed.

Sticks and stones may brake your bones, but abusive words cause brain damage. Shrunken hippocampus. Overactive amygdala. Impaired prefrontal cortex.

Peppered in that will be continued work on self-compassion, reparenting, responses over reactions, and deconstruction.

I've been working on my impulse to spend money, particularly on myself, usually clothes. It has been an on & off symptom my whole adult life. I finally connected it to #CPTSD.
