UPDTAE: wow. So many of you responded to let me know this is a common thing! I really didn’t know. I’ve been on Reddit for years (on alt account for gaming too) but never received this despite engaging with some really pernicious users in discourse. So I thought this was really targeted, and my account might even get banned possibly if I post more about my CPTSD. You’re right I took it way too personally, but this was where I was coming from (plus severe IRL association of being shut out for my trauma). So genuinely thank you to all for assuring me this is okay and not fret over it. 🫂🤍

I don’t know who reported me but it sucked to receive this.
The result will now be I won’t interact with this or any CPTSD subreddit or comment.
Any I know some will say it’s just someone trolling or misplaced good intent.
But it proves that the one thing I used to come here for that I never found IRL doesn’t exist here either — a judgement-free safe space for dealing with and processing CPTSD.
And funny thing is I never indicated any active self-harm or suicidal ideations. I cannot imagine how someone in that position would feel like. Receiving that message with a bunch of most generic and unhelpful resources that most of us have already sought and found utterly useless and that’s why we sought better space.
The world really truly ain’t built for CPTSD victims is it huh?… And it’ll do everything to bully you into conforming to normalcy if you want to survive existing in it, thus proving it will never understand or accept you as you are.
Ps. I def know this ain’t automated, I’ve been here long enough. To whoever reported whatever post/comment of mine. Thanks for making me feel like a crazy person, Fuck you. Funny thing is, my first immediate thought was it must be someone from my real life, because that’s how invalidating and abusive it has been to my mental health lol. Guess people are people.
