C-ptsd is one of the extremely difficult to diagnose. And I didn't know that I had it from years of childhood trauma such abandonment, neglect and bullying. It was not until I reached rock bottom that I was able to tap into my pain and begin to give it a name so I could finally heal it.

These are the symptoms of C-ptsd that I mentioned from mind.org.uk:

Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (complex PTSD, sometimes abbreviated to c-PTSD or CPTSD) is a condition where you experience some symptoms of PTSD along with some additional symptoms, such as:

• difficulty controlling your emotions
• feeling very angry or distrustful towards the world
• constant feelings of emptiness or hopelessness
• feeling as if you are permanently damaged or worthless
• feeling as if you are completely different to other people
• feeling like nobody can understand what happened to you
• avoiding friendships and relationships, or finding them very difficult
• often experiencing dissociative symptoms such as depersonalisation or derealisation
• physical symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, chest pains and stomach aches
• regular suicidal feelings.

About Mindhacker Club

The idea for Mindhacker Club came to Lorraine at a time when she was beginning to realise that she needed to work on her thoughts. She had fallen into a negative thinking pattern where she would expect only the worst from people and life. This had become deeply ingrained in her due to her previous struggles with depression, c-ptsd, eating disorders and other traumatic experiences including sexual assault and childhood abandonment. Through practices such as daily gratitude journaling, meditation, scripture readings, to name but a few – Lorraine began to heal her mind and thoughts. Lorraine is still on this journey and invites you to be on your own journey with her.
