All of these things do help distract me temporarily from everything going on. But the fear just creeps up on me again even on good days with lots of self care. There are times I wish I could just flip a switch and turn my brain off or something.

I wish I had that choice when I was a minor living at home. I had no coping skills. I didn’t know how to lay low. I’d provoke my abuser , and I do write as if she could read what I’m saying, she taught me that.
