It’s probably depression adjacent, yeah.
Granted, I don’t feel depressed, but I do feel incredibly exhausted after the last three years I have had, lol. I’ll spare you the trauma dump xD
I have, however, started to wonder if the ADHD suspicions my boyfriend and I have about me, are actually CPTSD symptoms instead. Found a list of 17 symptoms for CPTSD on a health organization website a month-ish ago and I scored 11, which was a bit like “okay, spicy.” One of my sibs struggles a lot with similar symptoms to me and is in therapy. The term CPTSD has been used in their context so now I’m like “kewl. Awesome. Whatever”.

don’t worry, after the last decade i can trauma dump anybody into oblivion :). anyway, of course we like to have a label for our issues, because it makes the problem more approachable and feeling real (in the meaning of “oh, I’m not the only one”). but at the end of the day it’s only important to get help. even things that sound trivial can have a major impact on our performance and quality of life. fingers crossed, that you find your way!
