caught in a lie

sometimes i forget my traumas are actually real, like that’s how disconnected i am from everything

*takes a depression nap after waking up from a 12hr depression sleep*

sometimes i am suddenly reminded that childhood abuse is not a universal experience and that some people have loving and supportive parents who have never traumatized them and im just like ????

person: u act older than u are me struggling w years of trauma & having to be the adult in situations that i shouldnt be in: i get that alot

“everyone’s been through trauma!” no, no they haven’t. hardship ≠ trauma.

Not to start #discourse or anything but fuck your unhealthy coping mechanism if you practice it in a place that can directly harm other survivors

Daydreaming about alternative lives to escape my own has become a coping mechanism which I have internalised so much that it happens unconsciously throughout the day. I’ll be always daydreaming in the back of my head no matter what I do

I’m almost laughing at my deteriorating mental health at this point because it’s just so ridiculous that this many symptoms are acting up at once

sleeping is nice until u wake up and realize ur still sad lol

dont tell an abuse survivor whether they should or shouldn’t forgive their abuser(s)

the real depression nap is when you go to bed at 10pm just because you can’t think of any reason to be awake
