Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have no idea what post you were referring to here in your reply,Mia,but I totally agree with you that C-PTSD is not the same as BPD!!! I have C-PTSD too and I don't split people black/white or have compulsive rages etc etc. For me,actually,the C-PTSD symptoms that have tortured me the most are " revictimization " , " lack of sustaining faith " and " feeling utterly alone " .
