My therapist said that I have a right to feel sorry for myself and that I'm incredibly resilient. I wish I believed that. I just feel angry. I'm scared she doesn't know what she's doing. One of my traumas is my mom trying to kill herself. I think it was like 4 times. I asked my sister today how many times and she got mad at me and hung up. My family has just blocked those years out. That's just 4-10. I have way more coming up. It just seems so unfair.
Our food stamps got messed up and had to go down there today about that. The light in my kitchen is out again. My son won't quit bothering me. I'm just stressed, anxious, feeling sorry for myself, angry, tired.
Life just sucks for me right now.

Rose, I am very sorry you are having such a trying time.
Digging up past traumas can cause a lot of turmoil: anger, anxiety, fatigue, confusion and more.
I am very curious: What type of trauma therapy are you involved in? I have not heard of therapy where people recall sequential years, like ages 4-10, for instance.
The good news is you were able to go to sort out any issues re: food stamps!
Maybe ... well, don't take a bath, it triggers you.
Maybe go to bed and read something interesting?
I don't know.
What works for you?
Thanks for checking in!
Let us know how you are getting on?
