I appreciate it, this community too, navigating this alone felt unbearable, I sometimes feel like its not worth fighting anymore, I am exhausted. I keep feeling like I am still numb to the pain, I cannot cry it out. Its like I'm both here and there. I am glad that I am here and trying to deal and heal.

Yes! I was numb for long years. It's so painful thawing out to get in touch with the emotions and very exhausting, emotionally. I don't believe it can just be simply cried out tbh It just takes very long to process and then the crying is more effective too but really what it takes is reorganising your memories and integrating them into your sense of reality. Accepting how these bad things can/have happened. Something like that. That is very hard, I think. Especially because trauma affects us in our "weakest" parts. Which makes it just that much harder to process but it is possible. And yes, keep going!

Thank you Alive, I found out tonight that I'm triggered when I try and shower. I don't know how I am supposed to process or deal with this. I want to be the person I was a few years ago, so busy I've not the time to process, it sucks having to face this. Emotional reminders and physical reminder inside my body.
