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

Ok @creative_writer 💜
Thanks for confirming yours safe right now, however living with hypervigilance is an uneasy constant companion - there when all other things aren’t… I do understand; I think I have experienced something similar while in my younger years 🌺
please do remember you have us here holding space for you 💜
