- You struggle to openly express yourself and connect with people.
- You find social situations stressful because you have to be hypervigilant of potential triggers.
- You feel a lack of direction.
- Your thoughts are interrupted by distressing images and ideas.
- You have trouble sleeping or struggle with nightmares.
- Your self-esteem is negatively affected.
- You’re always putting the needs of other before your own.
