Struggling to deal with trauma
The last 3 years have been very traumatic for me, and as soon as I think this is the worst it can be something else traumatic happens which just makes it harder for me to be resilient from traumatic experience after traumatic experience and I’m struggling to be who I was before these experiences. It’s been continuous over the span of 3 years and I know these experiences will forever change me regardless but I just want to be able to cope with my trauma in a healthy way so that it doesn’t affect me everyday like it is and that I can be genuinely happy and be a happy mum for my daughter.

I just want to be able to be almost like who I was before if that’s even possible. Happy with life and with myself and not scared of the world around me and to be able to cope with these experiences to get to a point where maybe one day I can let some of them go and never have to revisit and relive them over and over.
