@VanillaCawfie I'm feeling tired. That's the only big emotion I have today. I've attended a workshop today and it was really tiring, even through it was really interesting.

Thank you to everyone, for their responses. I think that any emotions which one are feeling and encountering after going through traumatic events, are acceptable, valid, and normal. I also think that each and every individual will have unique responses to trauma, and react in unique ways.

I think that trying to effectively cope with emotions in healthy ways, and not trying to suppress or to hide them, can be a viable way to deal with the experience of trauma. Examples are: talking to supportive people, participating in support groups, writing in a journal, exercising, relaxation and leisure activities, creative activities such as art, music, and dance, etc.
