I feel that my trauma is a burden to anyone listening. I’ve tried and just can’t unload this burden in a professional setting. My life is full of flashbacks and false memories. I want to leave it all behind but life won’t let me.

How do I start to protect and shield myself from my past without compromising or neglecting my present.

My trust in others is broken. It is difficult to discern who is there for me and who is... there. Nobody understands myself more than me and I just want to be left alone.
