Constant Pain

Fighting symptoms and exhaustion. Anal pain, flashbacks, psychotic episodes and more. You try to pay attention to small things in how you feel. But it's always there. Protect yourself.

Pay Attention to Small Things

No nightmares last night. But symptoms and exhaustion are always there. Is it just us? Or does everything feel triggering? Everywhere you look, nothing seems safe. Is the entire world falling apart? Hopefully not. Instead, a holistic idea about intuition. The healthier you are, the more receptive you are. We feel at times like we're about 6 steps ahead of everybody else. While we're not 100% in our intuition all the time, we do pretty good. Listen to it as best you can. Pay attention to tiny things in how you feel. The tiny voice inside is there for a reason.

Watch Your Back

Don't let your guard down. Protect yourself. Set boundaries. Because you have to. We really don't want to have a relapse and go back to a horrible diet. Your system can only take so much. Stay safe.

Don't Let Your Guard Down

A long day of fighting symptoms and exhaustion. Screen everything and protect your well being. The pain never goes away. But we know we're following the right steps. Your symptoms are a reflection of the severity of your trauma history. The surest way to make things worse is to hide behind denial.

Nightmares Have Come Back

We thought maybe we'd have a break. But nightmares have come back. Pain feels more debilitating than before. On the other hand, you have to face it head on. Protect yourself as best you can.

Pain Keeps Getting Worse

Every time you have a relapse, the pain is twice as bad as it was before. You can't let your guard down. We still struggle with the full reality of our trauma history. You have to fight back. If you let your guard down, the pain will be too much. Others had that happen to them, and they killed themselves. You have to protect yourself.

You Have No Control Over Others Who Are Horrible

Why do others say and do horrible things? You tell the truth about being a trauma survivor. Yet people say and do horrible things to you. Why would they do that? They're incredibly cruel They're sociopaths They get off on inflicting pain on others They think if they ignore reality it will magically go away We all have our "burdens to carry" (we actually heard 4 other people say that) They just don't care You have no control over them. But you can set boundaries and do your best to protect yourself. Because you have to.
