We still have to fight to get our anger out at times. It's like you have to push and get it out, and hope that you won't black out in the process. If you do, what happens when you wake up and you have no idea where you are? It's been a long time since that's happened. However, at times we feel like we're going to literally snap in two.
You try deep breathing and all the other grounding techniques that we all know. Despite that, you still scream and fight to not fall apart. All of the sources that we trust say this isn't "abnormal". It's backed up trauma that has to come out. Then, you try to just keep your balance as best you can.
You try to go to sleep at night, and the fear at times is still there. Every sound is magnified. The knife is at the foot of the bed just in case. At times we still don't feel safe around some people that we know.
How do you cope with this? We just try to keep balance in mind. Not perfection. Just balance.
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
