Yes ptsd royally sucks. C-ptsd sucks too, literally it's near impossible to feel happiness. Since abuse is the only normal known for that person, but unpleasant, not experiencing abuse is definitely ok because abuse is horrible, but if there's anything that you really want, it seems to make it extremely uncomfortable to actually receive it, maybe it feels something like being in unhappy situation is for people without C-ptsd. So happiness literally makes you feel unhappy. It's almost best to be in a neutral situation even though you still always want things to feel happy somehow. I wonder if c-ptsd makes people feel masochism. I wish there was a cure for it.
Pretty sure there are other conditions which also work against your own happiness. I feel like BPD might be one of those that make it difficult to feel happy too. I hate it that we all suffer together, life sucks. Thanks for this thread and feeling sympathy for others in different situations.
I don't know how similar ptsd and c-ptsd are but you get recurring nightmares from both.
