I'm sorry you're struggling with that. Are you in any sort of therapy or going to any "survivor" groups (not "victim" groups) to help process the trauma? I used to get frequent flashbacks and still do to a lesser extent, but going to groups and therapy and looking around online has helped me deal with it and the aftermath better. I hope you find some peace

Yeah, mine are typically triggered by something, but I don't always know what. Sometimes it's even just a feeling or a thought that triggers it. I've been told trauma therapy makes things worse before they get better. I'm just starting out with trauma-specific therapy myself so I'm prepping for a bumpy road ahead. I know how tough it is, but hang in there, the therapy will help if your therapist is a good one

I can see how having unknown triggers would, to say the least, make it somewhat difficult to deal with. Unhelpfully showering has been a major issue from the depression, and just as I get back on track that now seems to have turned into a trigger for it.. Mercifully it's been getting a bit easier. Turns out if I keep my eyes shut and/or don't look down then I can't see it..
I've been through the wrangler of a few types of therapy myself, so I'm preparing myself for a fun time. Thank-you for your understanding. It's going to suck, but it'll get better eventually I know. __________________ "And right here is where we store our sanity. As you can see, it's currently missing" |
