In 2022 I was diagnosed with CPTSD (complex PTSD). Since the last trauma, something has changed. Everything has changed. I'm not the same. Well, than who am I? Life is much more complicated than before.
Everyday is a struggle, a battle, a fight. It is exhausting, shocking and overwhelming. I find it extremely hard to express how I am (feeling of thinking) in words.
I am 41 years old. I feel much older. My story is hard to swallow. I apologize in advance. It is a combination of traumas, unfortunate coincidences and lack of luck.
I guess this is the reason for the diagnosis of Complex PTSD. I grew up in a dysfunctional family. Violence and abuse of power were the narrative. Sixteen years ago I was a victim of a drugged sexual assault. I suffered another sexual assault three years later. After a third trauma, I intuitively started drawing. I didn't study art. I studied design.
