Childhood Trauma

My entire life has been filled with trauma starting when I was a child. I've put most of it to rest but lately things have come up more and more. It's draining me and I feel like I'm suffocating from all of it. The nightmares have returned after being free of them for months. I feel like I wanna isolate but I know it won't help. As much as I despise the things that have happened to me, I know they made me who I am.


Has anyone else ever felt like this?

Hello, Yes, I resonate well with what you are saying. I to have had rest periods from my traumatic childhood trauma and my adult trauma. When we have unresolved trauma, we really never get rid of the effects of it until we can get those things resolved in the brain. Sometimes it takes professional help to help us to pick apart the things that trauma has inflicted on us as well as in us. 

There are no short answers and no quick fixes; it is a process that takes time and lots of hard work. Until you are able to face and analyze the trauma and come to see where you are affected and the thoughts, emotions, and feelings that are fueling these symptoms, it remains in the body, which can lead to other symptoms.

I am glad that you reached out and have the courage to seek support. I am sorry for the slow response time; my internet has been down. I hope this helps you to know you are not alone. We are here for you anytime that you need an ear or any type of support❤️.

@sensibleTangerine6030 ando me sentindo igual, meus problemas iniçiaram desde os meus 5 anos então eu nunca tive muita folga para saber realmente o que é uma infância tranquila, acho que isso prejudica um pouco
