Up all night last night to fix one of our PC's. The next thing we know it's Friday morning and we don't remember falling asleep on the couch. So today it's just rest and don't relapse. You have to protect yourself. Don't relapse. It will just make the pain way worse. Stay safe.

Denial will only make your pain a million times worse. The fact that your trauma pain is flooding out is because you have nothing destructive to hide behind. We did nothing wrong. It's not our fault. We're not abnormal, dangerous or a failure in any way. Protect yourself.

You do your best to protect your well being. But it's frustrating when you're dealing with others who say and do horrible things. They have to remember that they're responsible for that. NOT YOU. The trauma pain never goes away. Despite that, you have to continue because that's what you do. Protect yourself.

Everywhere you look, there's triggering stuff. You feel like you're the only one who sees everything and is six steps ahead of everybody else. If this happens to you, how do you cope? We try to not fall into the we-can-save-the-world-all-by-ourselves trap. Be aware, care but you're well being comes first. Protect yourself.

A long day of trying to focus and have some sense of energy. But exhaustion never goes away. Protect your well being as best you can. You can't save the world all by yourself. On the other hand, try as best you can to make things better. Protect yourself.

Trying to get more sleep at night. But it's always a struggle. Went almost two days without any (partially due to my dad needing a heart procedure). Not major surgery, but still like anything has risks. It was a REAL struggle to try and focus with almost no rest. After that, just went home and to bed. Unfortunately exhaustion is one major symptom of trauma patients. You struggle to not relapse and pig out on stimulants to get some sense of energy. It just makes your pain worse. Don't relapse. That will make your pain a million times worse. The pain and emptiness are always there. On the other hand, what else can you do?

A long day of fighting symptoms. Now another night of almost no sleep at all. But you do your best to keep some sense of being grounded. You just have to.

Almost 2 months now with no dissociative relapse. But there's a constant feeling of emptiness, exhaustion and that everything takes an enormous amount of energy. You know you did nothing wrong. Yet it feels like all of your trauma pain hits you all at once. Protect yourself.

Almost no sleep at night. This means you're constantly run down and have trauma pain. But you struggle and do your best to not fall apart. You can't save the world all by yourself. But you do what you can. Protect yourself.
