Is constant dwelling on regret plus living in a fear of retaliation a sign of C-PTSD? I am recovering from a narcissistic emotional abuse. It took me a long time to "figure it out" (by seeing the "pattern" over the years, studying on this subject, and consulting people who are close to me.)
Now I am regretting, "If I could just turn back to the time, I would have never shared that information with her. Now she could use it against me," etc.
P.S.
My counselor implied that I have C-PTSD without ever using the word. She just said, "When you have not just one-time trauma but suffer through a trauma over a long period of time, it can have an impact on your anxiety level and health." So I think she described C-PTSD without using the exact word.
