why do antis say we're "triggering ourselves" or "reliving our trauma" because we ship the way we do..... we're not..???? its fiction. not the actual figures.
and even if we were, thats none of your business, and death threats aren't gonna help us either
literally goes to show that antis dont care about victims that cope in a way thats not aesthetic to them.
fiction isnt real. harassment is.

Quick reminder:
Having trauma caused by headmates is normal and valid
Feeling more jumpy the closer you are to a trauma anniversary, even if it's not the anniversary just yet, is normal and valid
Being traumatized by experiences other people wouldn't see as bad and/or traumatizing is normal and valid
Your trauma is yours, not anyone else's. You will react to it in your own way. And that's completely valid.

Hey
I know it's tempting, and I know it's hard to accept, but brute forcing your way to find your trauma isn't going to help you or your system.
Trust me, we get it. You just wanna know, you wanna understand and you don't want to have a guessing game each day but trauma holders formed for a reason. Your system formed from trauma for a reason.
What you should focus on is getting better, strengthening communication, and building a more comfortable and safer life for the whole system. Being out of the loop sucks, and I understand that nagging feeling to just know what's happened already.
But you would never try to force a friend to blurt out their trauma unprompted. You would never interrogate and cross boundaries with the people you love to make them reveal their trauma to you.
It'll happen in time. They will open up. You just have to trust them and be patient. You just have to heal from what you know now and be ready for when they do open up. They aren't your enemy in this, they do care for you, even if it may not feel that way.

We all know hurt people hurt other people. But your trauma, your anxiety, your fear, your mental illness does not give you a pass on being hateful towards other people, especially when they have clearly communicated boundaries and stated how you are making them feel. What happened to you was unfair, but it won't heal unless you face it directly and learn to let go of all this rage, instead of lashing out on the wrong people. You don't get to abuse others because you were abused, you don't have the right to infringe on their boundaries, you don't have the right to be so hateful towards someone who never hurt you, even though you are struggling yourself. Everyone is struggling, and everyone has their own limitations.
Your feelings are valid, your desires, your rage, but they are not facts, and they don't give you control over other people and excuses when you become toxic to others. Don't infantilize your own behavior as that of someone who cannot stop themselves to excuse the same behavior your abuser had towards you when boundaries were communicated, which you understood and infringed them anyway, lashed out anyway, and ended up repeating the cycle of abuse over and over.
Your rage over what happened to you is valid, but traumatizing other people because you are hurting yourself is just repeating the cycle. Sometimes, we are the ones in the wrong, and we need to take accountability on the fact that we can be toxic so we can face our own hurt, our own relationship problems, and start healing from all this pain instead of directing them to other people who had nothing to do with it in the first place.
Boundaries are boundaries, and you if you are aware of that and they were communicated directly to you, don't get the right to infringe upon them, to restrict someone's freedom, to restrict someone's agency over their body because you don't agree that they should have the choice, or because you feel like you lack control, or feel like your own needs are more important than of others because you are suffering. Everyone is suffering too, you are just acting with disregard towards them. Even when you are suffering, you don't get to infringe on someone's autonomy when they have clearly communicated over and over and you have understood it but did it regardless. It's disruptive to your personal relationships, and you don't get to pick and choose which boundaries you are going to respect, you don't get to be rude, to lash out or to abuse anyone else because you were abused yourself, or because you are struggling too.
You can't deny other people any respect just because you were denied of it by someone else, years ago. Your responsibility now to face this trauma, this illness, this fear, instead of lashing out at other people who have nothing to do with the your own hurt. No matter how hard it seems to you now, you can recover from all these intense feelings, but don't use them as an excuse for toxic behavior instead of taking responsibility for what you do. You don't get to infringe upon others' rights no matter how you feel, you don't get to hurt them because you are hurt yourself, you don't get to use it as an excuse instead of acknowledging that you might be prone to repeating the cycle of abuse (which is something very common in the first place).
Your hurt, your illness, your trauma, it doesn't put you above anyone else to the point you can completely disregard their autonomy and agency when you already clearly know they don't want you to keep disrespecting them because they have communicated it repeatedly. You are choosing to disrupt your relationships as long as you don't take accountability and deal with your own issues for what they are, instead of lashing them out in other people in hopes they will just deal with it.

Liv + Common PTSD Patterns
We think you have PTSD. You go to a boat party and a bunch of crazy drunks start killing each other. And then the fire… I can't even imagine what you must've seen.
The really annoying thing is how right they are. But I don't have post-traumatic stress. I have post-traumatic ennui. Post-traumatic defeatism. Post-traumatic: "What's the point?"

i just realized i am a very loving person and all this time i was looking for love in the wrong places so selfshipping as a coping mechanism (also) is a good option for me to just... pour all this love that's in my little heart somehow i might be sounding a lil crazy but having a little outlet is always nice <3 not to mention how much it's distracting me from dwelling on tr*uma

No matter how "big" or how "small" it may seem to other people, your trauma matters.
If it hurts you, it still matters.

I am so glad to be home from the hospital
My cats are very happy to have me home as well
And my husband—even more so
I am not so glad about the added trauma that came home with me. I knew it was inevitable, but that doesn’t make it any easier.
9 days in the hospital—which translates to 9 days of constant respirator usage, holding my breath for temperature checks, small sips of water, mouthwash, and hoping that I wasn’t exposed to anything when I was vomiting or dry heaving.
4 days on PPN
3 infiltrated IVs (1 of which may have caused permanent damage to a vein from PPN)
And the beginnings of a Chiari/Tethered Cord flare to top it all off.
I’m not even able to go into more detail at the moment because I was heavily dissociated the entire time and haven’t met the new parts yet.

It's wild how rediscovering repressed memories can so drastically change a worldview
If you asked us two years ago, we would have told you we had a great childhood, and now we can't stand the thought of seeing our bio family ever again

Someone reblogged this post I'd made about Haytham (x)
There's a difference between being able to feel love and being a good person.
I definitely did not say he was a good father.
Tumblr media
This kind of putting words in my mouth just reminds me of a friend who told me that people who intentionally misunderstand each other are just projecting their own traumas onto each other.
That friend and I are both immigrants' kids who grew up in violent homes. You either grow up to project it onto other people, or you struggle to look at things objectively and learn the human condition.
I'll file this under intergenerational trauma, a past history of abuse, and systemic racism.

We've been debating on how to properly tackle this kind of subject without coming off as ignorant, contradictory, or belittling to others. So if our words come off in that way, please reach out to us and let us know.
With the rampant scene of various mental illnesses being painted as malicious (ASPD, NPD, Schizophrenia, etc.), TERF/SWERF ideology being mainstream as well as on the other side of that same coin of "Alpha" males, it has clearly been shown to us what we had speculated for a while.
People don't want to confront their pain, and blame their trauma on anything but the truth.
I'm gonna go more in depth with this so hear me out.
We had (and still have) gone through a multitude of confronting our trauma, processing it, then eventually having to accept it and move on. It's challenging to say the least. But it's necessary. We have a lot of trauma, so we have had to do this song and dance multiple of times. None of us can say it gets any easier each time, but it has always lead us to getting better.
Each time we are confronted with the same question,
"Why did this happen to me?"
Of course sometimes it goes deeper with other questions, but we always circle back to that same one. A lot of people have asked that, honestly it's not new. We also acknowledge the outside factors that lead to moments of abuse or trauma like systematic oppression of various groups, indoctrination of ideologies, generational trauma, as well as lack of different kinds of support and community. Of course those are explanations, not excuses.
So we then go back to that question after learning what we know about the world and it's harmful systems. "Why me?". What we ultimately came up with was
"It just happened because."
It's anticlimactic and frustrating, we acknowledge that, but true. You can point to all the outside influences, you can dissect people's personhood down to their very core, you can label them with whatever would fit best but none of that is going to answer why it happened to you.
And it won't. But that's okay. There wasn't a grand scheme, it's no one culprit, it's not a big master plan, it's simply just happenstance. You were in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and it's awful, but it had nothing to do with you specifically.
It's easy for us to create a big boogyman to blame our problems. It makes it simpler, easier to digest.
For one example this comes in the form of vilifying people with mental disorders. Maybe it's to excuse their parent's or partner's selfish actions, sudden and aggressive bouts of unexplained violence, or simply neglect in every field.
For TERFs and SWERFs, it's anyone one that doesn't prescribe to their definition of 'womanhood'. Maybe it's to excuse the way past partners would twist and violate their romantic and sensual attractions. Maybe they feel hurt and scared in a patriarchal society, constantly watching and judging. Perhaps even just feeling scared and lost in a world they have very, very little control over.
For 'Alpha' males and their ilk it's to men not prescribing to their definition of 'traditional values'. Maybe it's an excuse to direct sadness and anger that has built up for so long towards society's lessers. Maybe it's an excuse to feel powerful and important in a sea of random unimportance.
I cannot say for sure what these people have been through or desire. Even still it's simply, again, explanations and not actual reasons. But it all goes back to pointing the blame at something, anything to make the world less scary.
The truth, the much more scary truth, is that there is no reason. The world is random, and that includes pain. Those people didn't hurt you because of their mental disorders, their gender, their occupation, none of what that person was.
It happened because.
Of course more awful things happen to various minority groups (LGBTQIA+, disabled people, POC, etc.). Even still, that is again an explanation not a reason.
But there is no one singular monolith you can tear down to make the world freer and happier.
It's just the many complicated and absolutely random layers of the universe.
That's okay, and you will be okay. It makes the world more unpredictable, but you'll find your footing. We're sure of it.
