Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

Hey @creative_writer 🙂
I am sorry to hear that you're feeling exhausted, I can imagine how draining it can be to manage so much. Was uni good today?

Aw that's hard for sure @creative_writer. Sometimes it's so tough to navigate our thoughts. 😞
Anything planned for the rest of the day, something to take your mind off of things?

@creative_writer , have you done much work on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy where you learn to accept the thoughts that come, without judgment? I found it very difficult to do at first, but it's made a huge difference to how I work with my thoughts and feelings.
