Self-neglect can be a significant indicator of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). Here are some signs of self-neglect that could suggest C-PTSD:
1. Poor Personal Hygiene: Neglecting basic self-care tasks like bathing, grooming, and dental hygiene.
2. Neglecting Medical Needs: Ignoring health issues or failing to attend medical appointments.
3. Disorganized Living Space: Living in cluttered or unsafe conditions due to lack of cleaning or maintenance.
4. Poor Nutrition: Skipping meals, eating unhealthy foods, or not eating enough.
5. Sleep Issues: Experiencing chronic insomnia or excessive sleeping.
6. Isolation: Withdrawing from social interactions and avoiding contact with others.
7. Lack of Self-Care: Ignoring personal needs and interests, including hobbies and activities previously enjoyed.
8. Financial Neglect: Failing to manage finances, pay bills, or handle responsibilities.
9. Emotional Numbness: Feeling detached from oneself and others, leading to an overall neglect of personal well-being.
10. Substance Abuse: Using drugs or alcohol as a way to cope, leading to further self-neglect.
