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 there @creative_writer 💜🌺
I’m sorry I didn’t reply yesterday - was a bit fatigued 🙂
Great news the placement appointment went well - and the grounding techniques helped 💜🙂
I hope the distraction settles down and you were able to get some of your work done sweets? 🤗🌺

I hear you @creative_writer but taking PRN doesn't make you a failure. It's one of the tools that help when you need support, like any other tool. It's taking care of yourself and that makes you strong and empowered, not a failure.
I can imagine how exhausting it must be to be in a constant fight with your brain. 😞
If PRN is helpful with this, I think you should look at it as a tool and utilise it.
