Moving forward after traumatic experience

...See more My school had a school shooting back in December. Theses past few weeks I’ve been trying to get by not thinking about it. I’ve been avoiding. I did allow myself to be sad for two days because I felt as if I was being dramatic to feel so sad and scared while seeing people around me that seemed fine. I get angry going on social media, seeing those that went out-of-state after high school going on with their lives as if nothing happened. I get angry going outside, seeing people in the city working and smiling and laughing as if nothing happened. As selfish as it is, my entire world has utterly changed and shifted while, for so many others, this is another byline. Now, I start school in about two weeks. I’m scared. I don’t want to go back. I don’t really know how to “move forward”. I don’t really know how any of us are expected to be able to have classes.  I’m very lucky to be alive, and I know this. But no one really tells you how to deal with the traumatic aftermath.

...See more trigger warning - school shootings. My school recently had a mass shooting and fortunately my class that day was canceled so i went home early. However I feel an overwhelming sense of emotions, i feel sadness, fear and anxiety even though I wasn’t on campus durning the shooting. I just think about the times before that i have been on campus at that same time and near the area. I feel this heavy feeling on my chest and just overwhelmed with emotions. I feel like I’m being dramatic. I don’t know if this is normal, am i being dramatic, or something ?

The little things

...See more Today is my birthday. To be exact my 19th birthday. I have always struggled with wanting to be alone and feeling lonely. They are both two different things, well for me atleast. I hardly have any one who I considered a friend and honestly the only time I have friends is when it comes to partying, other than that I basically have no one. My family, well my Intimate family like my two sisters and my mom, they are not perfect but I appreciate what I have. to begin with, I like solitary. I like being independent , I like having silence. I like it. But I don’t like feeling lonely. And I feel like no matter how much I tell myself that it’s me who chooses to be that way, I often think that no one ever fights to be there. No one has ever crossed this imaginary line in my brain that confiscated every single feeling known that isn’t near happiness. No one has tried fighting to even get to know me. They have this idea of who I am or who I was but they don’t know me. They don’t know how much I struggle to fight with a damn chemical imbalance in my brain always questioning what I did wrong to feel the way I am feeling. I’m lonely, emotionally, mentally, and physically lonely. Today is my 19th birthday and I have never felt so lonely, this type of loneliness scares me, so much, because am I always going to feel this way? (just a little birthday reflection)
