As we cover more bases, we still have to fight to maintain some sense of balance. Triggering stuff is still everywhere. We still take a weapon with us or keep it closeby at home if we think it's necessary.
Another thing to deal with? Debilitating emptiness. Everyone we trust says the same thing. It has to come out. It's not "abnormal". On the other hand, what do you do when it feels like you can't literally go from your couch to your kitchen? We don't want to go back on meds because unless you have to, it's like putting a band aid on the problem. What's the point of that?
Anger still lashes out and we feel like we're going to snap. You have to fight back, though. You can't just sit and do nothing. Now, try and do that AND everything else you have to do. How do you move after a day like that?
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
