Doing Fantastic

shout out to my dad for making me who i am today <3 in a bad way <3

It’s confusing when a family member is your abuser. There’s a need to mourn their loss, but you don’t want to mourn them after what they did.

Flashbacks never come when I’m chilling in my room and could handle them, they always come when I’m in class or talking to friends. It’s almost like my ptsd doesn’t care about me

Treat your inner child sometimes. They didn’t get to have a happy childhood.

Abusers be like, “that didn’t happen! And if it did, you loved it!”

It’s okay to not talk about it. It’s okay to talk about it. What isn’t okay is telling others what their healing journey is supposed to be.

You’re not alone. Everyone responds to trauma differently, but you’re not alone. There’s nothing wrong with coping as best you can.

It’s weird to miss who you were before the trauma when there was no you before the trauma.
