{"quotes":[{"text":"People with Complex PTSD suffer from more severe and frequent dissociation symptoms, as well as memory and attention problems, than those with simple PTSD. In addition to amnesia due to the activity of various parts of the self, people may experience difficulties with concentration, attention, other memory problems and general spaciness. These symptoms often accompany dissociation of the personality, but they are also common in people who do not have dissociative disorders. For example everyone can be spacey, absorbed in an activity, or miss an exit on the highway. When various parts of the personality are active, by definition, a person experiences some kind of abrupt change in attention and consciousness.","author":"Suzette Boon","tags":["amnesia","attention","complex-ptsd","day-dreaming","dissociation","dissociative-identity-disorder","memory","personality-types","ptsd","survivor","trauma"],"id":78734,"author_id":"Suzette+Boon"},{"text":"Dangerous dreams are daydreaming.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["dangerous","day-dreaming","dreams","inspiration"],"id":81857,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"And the man who dreamt of flight has tripped and fallen in a hole.","author":"Shaun Hick","tags":["day-dreaming","daydreaming","daydreams","dreams","failure","falling","flight","hole","life","reality","setbacks"],"id":82606,"author_id":"Shaun+Hick"},{"text":"Start and end your day with God.Seek His presence and blessing daily.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["blessed-life","blessing","blessings-in-disguise","blessings","daily-life","daily-living","daily","day-and-night","day-dreaming","day-to-day","faith-in-god","faith","gods-presence","personal-growth","prayer","prayers-answered","prayers-of-the-heart","praying-for-love","praying-mind","seeking-comfort","seeking-god","seeking-salvation","speaking-difficulties","speaking-to-god","spirit","spiritual","spiritual-wisdom","wise"],"id":119717,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Alterations in regulation of affect (emotion) and impulse:Almost all people who are seriously traumatized have problems in tolerating and regulating their emotions and surges or impulses. However, those with complex PTSD and dissociative disorders tend to have more difficulties than those with PTSD because disruptions in early development have inhibited their ability to regulate themselves.The fact that you have a dissociative organization of your personality makes you highly vulnerable to rapid and unexpected changes in emotions and sudden impulses. Various parts of the personality intrude on each other either through passive influence or switching when your under stress, resulting in dysregulation. Merely having an emotion, such as anger, may evoke other parts of you to feel fear or shame, and to engage in impulsive behaviors to stop avoid the feelings.","author":"Suzette Boon","tags":["affect","affect-regulation","amnesia","attention","avoidance","behavior","complex-ptsd","day-dreaming","disregulated","dissociation","dissociative","dissociative-identity-disorder","emotion","emotional","fear","impulsive","memory","personality","ptsd","shame","survivor","trauma"],"id":195653,"author_id":"Suzette+Boon"},{"text":"Some think that they are incredible but are actually un-credible.

They feel hopeless, often believing that the future will be as bad as the past, or that they will not live long enough to experience a good future. People who have a dissociative disorder may have different meanings in various dissociative parts. Some parts may be relatively balanced in their worldview, others may be despairing, believing the world to be a completely negative, dangerous place, while other parts might maintain an unrealistic optimistic outlook on life.","author":"Suzette Boon","tags":["affect","affect-regulation","amnesia","attention","avoidance","behavior","complex-ptsd","day-dreaming","disregulated","dissociation","dissociative","dissociative-identity-disorder","emotion","emotional","faith-belief","fear","hope","impulsive","meaningless","memory","personality","ptsd","shame","survivor","trauma","worldview"],"id":271363,"author_id":"Suzette+Boon"},{"text":"I think it is because I have a habit, when I am bored or disgusted with people of stepping suddenly into my own world and shutting the door.
