help disabled musician with CPTSD
Donation protected
i am a working musician with ADHD, autism, and complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD).
CPTSD is caused by ongoing traumatic events over a long period of time. my symptoms include extreme dissociation, inability to concentrate, difficulty regulating emotions, ongoing horrific flashbacks, trouble relating to others/forming lasting connections, the list goes on. its like being a prisoner of war.
this makes it incredibly difficult for me to work outside of being an entertainer. ive been let go from many jobs in the past due to my symptoms.
traditional talk therapy, DBT, and CBT have proved to be unsuccessful and i will need more specialized therapy that is currently unavailable for me.
im currently awaiting approval for disability benefits. in the meantime, i need help affording my living & moving expenses as i dont make very much being a musician.
currently, i live in florida in a cramped, chaotic environment that is stalling my healing journey. i am planning to move out of the state to be with my boyfriend in the summer which will help me a lot. i want nothing more than to rest and recover so i can live a long fulfilling life.
CPTSD is not me nor is it something i want controlling my life. please help me afford the care i need to thrive.
