You’ve been in survival mode for so long. Sleepless nights, restless thoughts, and that lingering feeling of panic returning, sometimes unexpectedly, like it did when you were a kid. You’re doing your best to manage, but old habits are creeping back in—overeating, drinking more than you'd like—and it's leaving you wondering: Is there something wrong with me? Will this ever change? It’s hard to take care of yourself when your body and mind feel so overwhelmed. You’ve been putting on a brave face for others, keeping it together for the people who depend on you, but deep down, it’s exhausting. You're carrying it alone. You’ve worked so hard to create a life that feels solid...The last thing you want is to unravel it. But when the past keeps resurfacing, it’s hard to ignore how much it’s affecting you now. You’re not sure if it “counts” as trauma, but you know that it’s taking up space in your life in ways you can’t always control. Healing doesn’t have to mean rehashing everything all at once. It’s not about losing what you’ve built; it’s about rediscovering your sense of self in the midst of the storm. I deeply value the self-reliance and resourcefulness of what has gotten you this far. It’s not that you can’t do this on your own - it's that you don’t have to anymore.
