You Have to Fight Back

Another week of fighting symptoms. It feels like all the pain of our trauma history is pushing down on us. But you can't hide behind denial. You have to face it head on as best you can.

Sleep paralysis is happening more frequently. Sometimes two or three times a night. When it happens, it feels like you're aware of what's happening. But your body won't respond. It takes an enormous amount of energy to move your hand or arm extremely slowly. It likes your nervous system is almost completely shut down. Fortunately we don't have any neurological disease. Nothing like MS. But the terror is still there when it does happen.

Despite all of the symptoms and constant exhaustion, we're not weird in any way. We're not abnormal in any way. The severity of your symptoms is equal to the severity of your trauma history.

You have to fight back
You can't just sit back and do nothing
You can't just go with the low
You have to protect your well being

Protect yourself.
