Trauma survivors in recovery don't need to be "saved"-- we need to be seen. We don't need to be "fixed"-- we need to be supported. We don't want to be "coddled." We want to be empowered.

I’m back to feeling afraid of my feelings. I avoid going to sleep because of having to sit with them. I feel hyperactive and like I’m “high” constantly. It feels like I’m running away from myself. Sedating myself with medication isn’t going to work forever. I wish someone would understand.

Grief needs to happen.

Safe relationships are not threatened by honesty, & safe people are not threatened by you working your trauma or addiction recovery. If a connection seems to be threatened by you getting real & working your recovery, get curious about what the hell that's about.

We as a society need to seperate anger from aggression. Being angry does not equate to being abusive or hurting someone. Healthy anger is a necessary emotion. Without it, we have no drive. No sense of initiative. No passion.

You simply don’t get over traumatic events by staying silent and forcing forgiveness and closure. It’s natural to feel angry and ruminate over that stuff when you never had the chance to feel heard. Listen to the anger; it’s there for a reason. Quit shutting down your own emotions.

I’m 27 and somehow just barely starting to process all the shit that happened in high school that I never got to process then. It’s taking up too much space in my brain. I need to talk about it, and that’s okay. Needing to talk about stuff doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.

Putting a salad in a food processor was not the best idea…. 😭

I’m going on a strictly soft diet, probably for at least a week. In TMJD flareup hell at the moment 🥲

I don’t watch a lot of shows, but Man on The Inside really warmed my soul, and I highly recommend it.

It remains okay, and even important, to find joy and celebrate good things. 💚

If every single democratic senator doesn't vote against RFK Jr., I don't know what. VOTE NO. ALL OF YOU.

May I be safe. May I be healthy. May I be free from pain. May I be happy. May I live with ease. May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be happy. May you be free from pain. May you live with ease. #lovingkindness #selfcompassion #healing

My entire body feels like a gigantic knot that’s impossible to untangle, and every time I try, the throbbing pain gets worse. #fibromyalgia #overwhelmed #anxiousfornoreason

No f*cking kidding!

www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news... Wait…. So, the republicans, who want to force everyone to have more babies, are also no longer regulating the chemicals that CAUSE infertility? (The cancer risk is more concerning I know, I just couldn’t help but laugh at this)

What’s a lunch that isn’t ramen or frozen burritos?

I thought I had given up on music after “wasting” a Bachelor’s degree, but now I sort of feel that spark again.

The fact of the matter is nobody really knows what a healthy, non-traumatised autistic person looks like because there isn't a look and being autistic in society is so traumatising.

this is now a Donkey Kong's swole arms account

How many of you still google what you’re feeling and then add -reddit to the end because you never learned to talk about your emotions? #mentalhealth #alexithymia #cptsd #neurodivergent

Companionship isn’t enough. People need communities.

Seriously how the fuck do I initiate an action? Do any people with #adhd have advice? Also I barely slept last night #audhd #executivedysfunction #

literally so stuck today. Can’t initiate a single action. This is what I get for taking a break from adhd meds.

Change is hard.

Look at this absolute unit 🐿️

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

grieving the fact that I was taught to live while ignoring my disabilities.

You ever just think about things

Women go nuts for a man who has what I call "toyota corolla values" (cheap, efficient, reliable). It also helps if he has a toyota corolla

gabapentin makes me a silly goose

I was reminded of an invaluable resource for dissociation by a Reddit comment the other day - dis-sos.com. Hopefully this will reach someone who might need it #dissociation #cptsd #traumarecovery #mentalhealth

Every "get fit" in the new year training program is about pounding your body into fitness and all that means is you get injured and discouraged or your so sore you quit. There need to be more "ease into fitness" programs
