#trauma victim

[neuroticboyfriend]

As an adult still living with their abusive parent, I often find that affirmations meant to empower me are unhelpful at best. They often feel like they're overstating the amount of agency I have as an adult; I've spent my entire life being abused. It's all I know and I have a lifetime of conditioning and nervous system damage to show for it.

All that doesn't just go away now that I'm older than 18, and neither do the material circumstances that keep me here. Even though I have more legal rights and have grown since I was younger, I am still not in control by the very nature of being the victim in an abusive relationship. So, for those who relate, here are some affirmations that might hit different:

My abuser does not have my best interests in mind, even if they think they do.

I am my own person; my mind and body belong to me.

My feelings are justified, and I deserve to feel and express them.

I am doing what I need to survive, and that is all I need to do.

I am doing my best given the knowledge, resources, and support I have.

I am the only person who can decide what is best for me.

My situation is unfair and wrong. I deserve to be happy and safe.

I do not have to engage in toxic positivity; that will only hurt me.

As long as I am alive, there is something good in this life for me - no matter how small.

I have inherent rights just because I exist.

I shouldn't have to deal with this on my own; I deserve support and protection.

Everything I need is something I deserve. Everything I deserve is something I need.

If any of these don't resonate, feel free to discard them. Everyone finds comfort and empowerment differently.

As a trauma survivor. And someone who continues to undergo trauma daily in many forms. I understand this more than I'd like to admit.

I've become very quiet. I've become even more introverted than I ever was before. More focused on healing. Diving deeper into my spirituality. Going to therapy. Doing shadow work. Because healing is so important.

Being co-con is a spectrum, it can be "huh I feel really off today" to "AHHH- why is every motherfucker tryna front all at once"

This is probably going to get my ass even more hot water but people on the website really don't like when abuse victims act like anything but a Steven Universe character and it grows more blatant everyday with how people on this website treat each other.

hey? people with triggers, for whatever reason? you don't have to force yourself to see your triggers. you don't have to "expose yourself" to it. you're not being weak or "preventing yourself from healing" by avoiding it, by filtering content, by stating boundaries.

You are not responsible for the way the abuse you suffered affected you, or your life.

You are not doing anything wrong by displaying trauma symptoms. Your abusers are doing something wrong by telling you you are.

Nor are you responsible for those trauma symptoms. They are a result of the abuse others inflicted upon you; they are not a choice. No matter how hard your abusers try to convince you otherwise.

You're not responsible for not reaching life achievements as a result of your abuse. That doesn't mean you can never reach your dreams because of your abuse; it means your abusers stopped you and need to be held accountable for that.

You are not at fault for suffering others inflicted upon you.

Trauma lives in the bones.

The truth is that trauma is not just “in your head”. It leaves a real, physical imprint on your body, jarring your memory storage processes and changing the way your brain works.

Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, they often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings and in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from their selves.

you shouldn’t feel bad for asking a friend of yours to not interact with one of your abusers. and if they do, intentionally, after you’ve told them. leave them. they aren’t worth your time.

Sex makes me want to k1ll myself.

Something that was supposed to be so beautiful was turned into my personal hell because of some selfish prick who thought MY body was his property

What did I do wrong, I want to be with my partner without feeling like I'm going to die
