Finally unpacked in the new place. Now, it's back to job hunting and other stuff.
Part of our routine is setting boundaries as you cover various bases. Nobody else will protect you. Which means that you have to screen everything (and everyone). Do you feel like you can trust anyone after surviving your trauma? We wish we could, but we can't.
We still have to fight symptoms all the time. Do you black out from dissociating? We haven't for a while. However, it's exhausting to feel like you're barely hanging on.
As you fight to maintain your balance, ask some questions:
Do I really need to do this?
If I don't, is it just second nature? Or, destructive?
Setting boundaries shows that you respect yourself (especially when others don't).
If just going with your feelings helps you, fine. However, that doesn't help us.
All trauma survivors deserve to be heard.
More coming soon.
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
