Part of my job is to make displays and I decided to make a display for Mental Health Month.
One of the days that I documented was Blue Knot Day, supporting survivors of childhood trauma and I then spent the next half hour struggling not to dissociate and trying to finish my work and make it to my lunch break. I hate that I can be set off so easily and I feel so trapped by my trauma. I feel like I will never escape it. __________________ “There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore.” - Wintergirls Things to keep in mind when interacting with me: 1. Do not try to medicate me. I am not on medication for a very good reason. 2. I don't do hugs. 3. If I ask for help, it is because I am at the breaking point, otherwise I have a bad habit of keeping quiet. Please do not brush me off. |

Dealing with making a bulletin board on that topic would be very triggering. Please don't be rough on yourself for getting emotional/dissociative about it. You are protecting yourself from the pain. Okay?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
