Surely cells being dehydrated would cause quite a few of them to die and flush out ?
Where is the water coming from? Blood weighs around 5kg (10 pounds), so surely body cells are being squeezed of fluid too, I'd imagine.

Reply to comment by GiantAxon in TIL of Complex PTSD, which arises from prolonged, inescapable trauma (like child abuse/neglect, sex trafficking, or solitary confinement).

Yes I agree with you that psychiatry has a broader labelling, and finding relevant treatment for the individual problem.
And people self diagnosing is a problem too, but I don't think the solution is to disregard some possible experiences from the understanding/context of these labels.
Yes the definition need be cleaner, and I think the actual fully defined criteria for C-PTSD must be so.
Note that the above quoted text was not a definition for C-PTSD, but context of possible experiences that might result in it. The actual evaluation would (should?) ofcourse be done by a professional who'd evaluate exhibited symptoms and not just go on history.
People self-diagnosing simply from the context are hurting themselves, true. And should probably seek a professional for more trained evaluation.

To add to my other comment. I am sorry to hear you were at the receiving end of bullying.
I don't want to draw a line between simple bullying and _(?) bullying. But that feelings of body violation and lack of control etc can also happen with some cases of physical bullying that need not be sexual.
Again, glad that you don't seem to have had as bad of a reaction and felt not as distressed chronically from it. But it's not the same for everyone.
(Note that There are people that are driven to suicide by bullying. If that's not proof that it is perceived very intensely by some then i don't know what else I can say).

Again you are using adult metrics. And extrapolating based on false premise. Let me give you some reality.
I was both sexually abused and bullied. For me the bullying was tougher because it was day in and day out. Harsh and unrelenting. The abuse was temporary, short lived and I was even made 'comfortable'. Too naive even yes, to realize extent of what was happening.
Don't want to go into the details but penetration is not the worst thing about sexual abuse, there's too much psychological loss of power and violation of body integrity that precludes that. The lasting trauma is not the physical component but the mental fuckery.
Regarding trafficking:
You're thinking of sex trafficking as something they show in movies to scare you. It always isn't like that. Its often some schmuck enticing you with a reward, making you feel cared and finally given attention, promising you great things and then finally delivering you to a place where you are used. Even then they may promise to get you back. Or convince you it's a better life than what you'd have had back 'home' in poverty.
They're all fucked up situations. How scary you think of them from impressions from outside through news reports and imagination isn't what is going to decide how f'd up they are in the mind. Let the psychs figure out that from actual observation and study of victims. Your disagreement doesn't change the science. If you actually want to understand why they seem to be put together, perhaps taking some time to read the actual research papers, might give a better understanding of the things involved.
Bests.

Bullying for a child can be terrifying. Especially when there's no out and it's continuous. It's not 'simple' bullying always.
How would you put a scale between sex trafficking / plain sexual abuse and bullying?
Note, It's not about the safety threat we perceive as adults, taking into consideration facts we know, but how the receiver percieves it. A child may not realise the difference between being trafficked or facing very strong and consistent bullying. They don't have that much knowledge. They can only experience what they feel, and that could be terror.
