A late Happy New Year (is it ever too late to say that?). How was yours? We stayed in, partly due to PTSD symptoms. Some good news was watching fireworks out on the balcony. Then, just kicking back.
We heard today that the potential new therapist won't work out. This crisis center only works with battered women short-term. You can't deal with complex PTSD in two months and get anywhere. Which means keep going with our holistic routine and use our list of sources when necessary.
What's one of the hardest things to deal with? You try everything you can to stay grounded. Yet, on some days it doesn't work. Symptoms are horrible. You can't just give up. You don't want to hurt yourself.
What do you do?
At times we still scream and fight to not black out. Fight this all day long, do everything else and then you're too tired to move. On the other hand, what else can you do? On some days we don't know where we are. What's real and what isn't? You fight to focus and and not black out. This tells us that backed up trauma has really been that severe.
What do you do?
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
