Just finished a nice lunch after getting some medical tests done. Today, glucose and cholesterol. The good news? I'm perfectly normal. At first I thought that long term stress from battling symptoms might cause you to slip into Type 2 diabetes or some other condition. However, that's not the case.
That doesn't mean that symptoms still aren't there. Lately, violent flashbacks that can literally paralyze you out of fear. It's like you don't know what's real and what isn't. It takes a huge amount of energy to focus and keep some sense of being grounded. Then, do everything else you have to in the day.
We still have bad days with a sense of abandonment. I'm just trying to reassure my multiples and little kid that even if it seems like nobody else cares, I do. Why won't they touch us or acknowledge that we exist? I don't know. Does lack of reassurance long term damage someone? All the "experts" say it's totally subjective. There's no nice and neat catagory to explain this.
However, in our case we have to fight back. If we don't, we feel like we'll fall apart.
Maybe this will help with your trying to deal with your trauma. Keep in mind that you have no control over what others say or do. Also, they have to deal with the consequences of their actions. Nobody forces them to say or do horrible things to you. They choose to do that (for whatever reason). Therefore, just like everybody else (from Obama on down to your mail delivery person), they have to deal with that. Just keep your side of things clean and this will hopefully help you to maintain your balance.
Have a nce day.
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
