CPTSD, which stands for Complex post-traumatic stress disorder, can “result from experiencing chronic trauma, such as prolonged child abuse or domestic violence,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. “It’s closely related to PTSD and borderline personality disorder. CPTSD is manageable with psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medication.”
Taylor also shared a video of herself from 2024 where she bites on her lips while looking in the distance. “Just incase [you] didn’t know what dissociation and anxiety look like,” she wrote over the video.
In a separate video from 2025, Taylor was seen smiling for the camera as she explained that she could tell that she “disassociated” when she pulled out her car keys to open her hotel room door.
“Sat there for a couple minutes trying to open my hotel door,” she wrote.
In another Story, Taylor shared an image of herself smiling on the red carpet at the TIME100 Creators event in 2025 along with a video of her applying lipgloss.
“How many of us are masters of smiling through it?” she wrote on the slide. “I cry a lot and high chance someone next to you does this and you have no idea. I just want to heal so I can try and help people in this.”
Taylor‘s latest social media posts come after she was cleared on domestic violence charges amid her ongoing drama with ex Dakota Mortensen. The ruling comes after Dakota was granted custody of their son Ever with Taylor getting limited visitation.
