I thought I was on a mental health upswing, but it turns out it was just dissociation. I kinda thought it might be, because I didn't feel like the same person and I wasn't having emotions and I started to believe that I didn't have CPTSD and that I was never traumatized at all. I guess my brain just did that to deal with the stress of my celiac diagnosis, and it worked, I did all the things that needed to be done and felt just fine. But the last week has been one big crash for my nervous system. Nightmares and pain are both bad again.
Sorry to hear you had a bad week! Mine was shit as well. I had really bad dissociation at some point in life and for me it was worse than depression. I hope this week is better for you! :heart-sickle:
