...See more Hello all. I'm new here and just want to connect with others. More so about trauma and the depression/burn- out that stems from it once you are no longer in a cycle of it. More specifically, abuse trauma and loss trauma. I understand everyone copes differently but some days, I find myself absolutely frozen. I am either in a state of rumination or sometimes even total numbness from the things I have gone through. I want to find a healthy middle ground with this and a way to balance out my thoughts without either obsessing or shutting down. Flashbacks are what I believe to be causing this... the thinking back on all the things that my brain wants to pick apart to figure out why they happened or how things could have been very different if only... If you'd like, please feel free to share your experiences with this and what are some of things you do to distract yourself from flashbacks... or even what you do to motivate yourself during times of burn-out and mental fatigue from it. It would be so appreciated to be able to hear your insight. Thank you -Bonnie

Distractions or Hobbies?

...See more There is a specific list of activities that I love engaging in the most... but over the past few years, it seems I am less interested in them. Deep down I still have a passion for all these things even if they don't consist of interactions with other people. I am very much a solitary being anyway. I just want to find it in myself again to actually do MORE of the things I love that make me feel good again. I'm sure a lot of us are familiar with this experience and it would help so much to hear about yours. How did you get over a bump in the road that stalled your enjoyment and motivation for the things you love doing? Tell me about the things you love doing and how you came about picking them up or why and if you have put them down for a while. Thank you for participating in this if you do 𥹠I want it to help me and also others if they happen upon this thread.
