PTSD is so annoying because you could be having a super chill day with absolutely nothing going wrong, and your brain is all of the sudden like, "Hey, do you remember that time-" and then you're stuck disassociating for the rest of the damn day. 😮‍💨

the way sibling abuse is erased constantly and treated as "normal"... to all my fellow survivors of sibling abuse: I see you. You didn't and don't deserve this. You shouldn't have been made to feel unsafe in your own home. You shouldn't have to feel like people laugh about your abuse. You shouldn't feel like you're not allowed to talk about it. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Back in mid-August, I purchased a 30-pack of band-aids (and a tube of antibiotic cream) to have with me for when/if I SH at work.
I used my 3rd to last one today...that doesn't include the ones I needed at home, not to mention all the times I probably should've patched myself up and didn't.
I'm 36!!!! I feel like such a fucking failure!

I hate having a chronic illness because when I have really bad PTSD and depressive episodes that include self-harming thoughts, I cant turn to anyone but my therapist.
Because she is paid to listen to me "talk about my health" while my friends and family "dont wanna hear it". So dont ask how ive been doing if you dont care about my whole being.

its extremely unfair that once i have left a toxic situation, the perpetrators go on living their lives exactly how it was, yet i relive the same incidents every day.
they continue to live carefree, stick to their routines—however bitter and hateful it is. While I go about my day, finally free to feel everything, breaking down at the littlest of things. a cabinet slamming too hard, coconut oil, belts, the smell of urine, over explaining myself, eating something carb-heavy, cinnamon, burning noodles, taking too long to get ready, sleeping in past 9am, mispronouncing something, or a bruise on my arm.
It’s almost as I never left at all.

regressing less comes with a certain feeling of grief for me... I miss the little kid I could be, while at the same time recognising that this is a wonderful step in my healing journey. I know it probably doesn't mean I will never regress again (at least at this point in my life) but it definitely feels a little heavy..

Okay so it’s been a few days but I’m still really upset about a comment I got on AO3 the other day. If you don’t have the emotional space or just don’t want to read my rant, please ignore this and have a wonderful weekend.
It was essentially “You shouldn’t write about your traumatic experiences and should talk to a therapist instead.”
Bestie. Where do you think I got the idea? Hayley looked me in the eye and said “you like writing? You should rewrite your experiences with happier endings.”
I said “so stop the trauma before it hurts me?”
Hayley said “no. Do not erase your trauma, but write that your character heals regardless. That your character is loved regardless. That your character learns to be happy regardless.”
So I will continue to write about my traumatic experiences in a way that is safe, healing, and non-triggering for me. I tag everything as accurately as I can so people can avoid potential triggers, so if you don’t want to read about something. Just don’t? Like don’t read the story? But don’t come into my comments, which are almost always the best part of my day, and post negative stuff and try to tell me I’m coping wrong. Maybe writing about your traumatic experiences is bad for you, maybe it makes you worse and sets you back weeks — or even months — in your healing journey, but I’m not you, bestie. Writing has always been my biggest outlet. And, I hate to break it to you, but most famous books you’ve read were probably the author’s outlet about something, ever heard of Anne Frank or Ayn Rand? They both wrote about their traumas, are you gunna dig them up and tell them it’s not healthy and they should just keep those emotions inside of them until they can’t stand being alive any longer?
Like seriously, you don’t know me. You’re not my mom or my girlfriend or my best friend or my literal therapist, you do not know what is good for me nor what is bad for me. So don’t try to tell me what I should and shouldn’t do. Just mind your business.

PTSD culture is your parents recalling how bubbly and outgoing you were when you were younger and asking what happened, and you not having the heart to say it was the trauma they gave you.
