Upset and demotivated

Lately so many bad things have been happening to me. I feel very demotivated. I cannot stop myself from thinking how unlucky I am. From the outside my life seems pretty good, but trauma wrecked my brain and I am always hypervigilant. Nobody gets it. 

So many people told me that I should stop letting the past affect me. 

I wish, but it's not that simple. Trauma changes your brain chemistry and the way your perceive the world. It's not a simple matter of willpower. 

I should stop wanting people to validate my experience. 

Nobody will truly understand what I went through. 

And I want to stop caring if people validate or not my trauma. 

I know that for me it was painful and that's enough. 

Some days I just feel very low and wish things were different. 

I try my very best to get better but some days are just bad days. 

I just want to go in my bed and cry to be honest. 

I'm not looking for any specific advice. I just wanted to get it off my chest.

You’re not alone. It is so incredibly hard to not feel seen.

I totally get this and understand it. I’m sorry you have to go through this and that the traumatic event occurred. You’re never alone in this feeling no matter how hard your brain tells you this. You always have support and love. I hope you start feeling better soon🫶🏽🫶🏽

@Vector5 true, everyone has a different way of managing stress and dealing with traumas. I hope with time, you recover from all the things stressing you out. I would love to chat as well🥰
