I'm a trauma therapist, The Body Keeps the Score is very good for C-PTSD. You should also read Gabor Mate's books and watch his interview with Tim Ferris on YouTube. It's called Dr Gabor Mate on trauma, addiction, Ayahuasca and more. Read Richard Schwartz work around Internal Family Systems Therapy. He did an amazing interview with Rich Roll called Multiplicity of the Mind.
There's a lot of really good content online if you can't access a therapist. You want to start with making sure you can self regulate and self soothe and build from there. Somatic exercises will help you.
Sending you love and soothing. I'm a non binary AFAB who was diagnosed with endometriosis over 10 years ago via laparoscopic surgery. Endo sucks. I'm coming to the end of my reproductive years, thank fark, it's been a painful ride.

ooh amazing album, there was a point where I would listen to this almost daily. Pearl's Girl is a standout track for me, but the entire album is gold.
Yep, he lives for it. I adopted him when he was 5 years old and trained him as soon as he got used to me. He he gets very excited when I get his harness out and loves to go for walks. He's 15 now and still keen everyday unless it's really cold.
He's real! He's on Instagram - alexthebengal And he's ridiculously photogenic
This is Alex, he's been having daily or twice daily walks for 10 years now. He still thinks he needs to act extra cute, and I'm not going to tell him otherwise!
This is Alex and he's 15. Still very active but not quite as stubborn as he used to be!
I went to my GP last week and she prescribed me a testosterone cream that has only been available here in Australia for a few months (according to her). I had a blood test and it showed that my levels were very low.
I haven't been to pick it up yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do for me. I have had zero libido for a long time now, but that's not what I got it for BUT it is one of the main reasons they prescribe it. I wanted to see if it helped my muscle weakness and overall mehness. I have CFS/ME and hormones play a huge role in how well I feel.
Has anyone else used testosterone and how did you find it?
PS - HRT is so freaking expensive, it makes me really angry that our pharmaceutical benefits scheme doesn't cover it and I am out of pocket hundreds of dollars a month.
Adding my one of my cats to into the mix. This is him from a few months ago, wanting to get up onto someone's roof! We walk twice a day and have been doing so for 10 years! He's 15 years old and I've had him since he was 5.
