Lots of bases to cover in job hunting. Aside from that, lots of triggers to stay away from as well.
At various times, we just want to turn everything off and just sit. Listen to the wind blowing or people just walking by. The bad part is that flashbacks and lucid dreams happen (usually at the worst times). How do handle it when you're trying to focus and you feel like you're THIS CLOSE to snapping? You don't want to go off on others. You don't want to go on a rampage and then get the death penalty. Parts of society tell you that you need to get help. Then, the same people want nothing to do with you.
How do you cope with this?
It feels at times like the full terror of being raped hits you all at once. A billion images hit and nobody's there to listen, care or help in any way.
Do you still scream as you fight to not black out?
Do you feel like anybody cares?
Has anybody ever given you a reassuring hug? Other than our therapist, one person has ever done that. What effect does practically no physical contact or reassurance have on trauma survivors? We've never been able to find a study that really explains this. If you know or know of one, let us know.
Back to the cover letters.
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
