What I’ve learned about healing after trauma (from my own journey

I used to think healing meant waking up one day and suddenly feeling “normal.”

Like the pain would just disappear if I worked hard enough.

But the truth? Healing didn’t look like that for me at all.

It looked like:

  • Taking one step forward, then three back.

  • Feeling okay for weeks, then suddenly crying over something small.

  • Learning to sit with the memories instead of trying to erase them.

If you’re reading this and feel stuck, you’re not failing. You’re just in the middle of the climb.

I’m curious:

What’s one thing, even if it’s small, that’s helped you keep going on your healing journey?

Same, hope for a better future. I want to achieve and experience more in life and to do that I recognise I have to first heal and I’m sure it’s the same for you too ❤️✨

I don't know if I can heal completely, at least it doesen't feel possible. I'd love to wake up one day and realase my whole life was just a dream or that is my past, not my sentence.

Answering your cuestion:

The one thing that keeps me going is that I am determined to have a better live, to be happy at least for little moments in my daily life.

To answer your question, the only thing that keeps me going is the faith I have in the people around me. Sometimes people used it on a bad way. But there are always others who will try their best to be a good friend.
