Talking through trauma and PTSD

Tillogram

Tillogram

I am wondering if anyone has any strategies that have helped them to banish the “Not Good Enough” thoughts.

It is apparently a common problem for those with childhood trauma (likely other things as well).

I think I try pretty hard to surmount this feeling. I have completed university degrees, I have worked pretty much continuously from age 14yo. I try to participate in sport and different other activities. I volunteer.

Maybe “doing things” is not the correct strategy (although it does act as a distraction).

I still think I am not good enough.

Re: Not Good Enough

I'm so glad you have reached out and spoken and NOT felt bad about it @Till23

Sometimes, we get in a bit of a heap so that it feels we can't get out. At these times, I feel self-care is key.

I often tell myself "This WILL pass", so I sit in the unplesantness, knowing it will eventually shift.

I haven't read any tagged posts yet, but I'll get there!

I'm so glad to here from you. I've been worried about you.

Crikey you must be so busy @tyme

I hope you are looking after yourself

I tagged you yesterday so you can ignore that one to save time. The CEO tagged you in one which is the post I am talking about - but take your time

Re: Not Good Enough

No, I like to go through all the notifications. At this point, I have over 100 posts waiting for me. I think I've hit the thresh hold because the number doesn't go above 101 lol. I think I'll open them over the weekend @Till23

But thank you for tagging me. I'll be looking into it.

Once again, I want to acknowledge your strength in getting to where you are today and make it through some of those pretty dark moments.

Re: Not Good Enough

Hey @Shaz51 I also have a sore back but that's because I've been doing some long shifts lately, just doing a short bit of casual work. I'll recover ok

Hope you recover well and quickly

Re: Not Good Enough

Hey @Till23 , I don't leave until tomorrow morning.

How are you? Do you have any shifts coming up? I read you have a sore back. Is it a lot of physical work you are doing?

Hugs to you @Till23 Thinking about you.
