Helloo 7cups!
Hello! I'm a newbie here, 32 years old. I just recently started piecing together (not sure how else to put it) childhood trauma. I'm not sure where to begin to process this. I'm on anxiety medication but it is very overwhelming some days since dealing with this. Where do I begin? & how can I (if even possible), slow down the thinki
Hi intergalactic, I think your soooo lucky to start figuring out how to process your childhood trauma at 32! Mine was so severe I surpressed it for 50 years 🤦🏻♀️. I'm very upset with myself for waiting so long, ugh. I started with writing in a journal and then I had to go into therapy because my symptoms were really bad, dark. I was diagnosed CPTSD , the anxiety piece got so bad I had to leave my job. But therapy, meds, 7 cups helped me alot. It's been almost 3 years I'm trying to process all of it. I am better but I couldn't do it without professional help . I will probably be in therapy for some time to come. I added self care , better care for myself as I always put my needs last. I hope 7cups helps you too. I'm sorry about your anxiety, I understand that. And it hurts physically. Just wanted to let you know your not alone and ppl here care. ABB
Hey ABB, thanks for the reply! I appreciate you! I'm so sorry it was so long for you. It hits hard, especially the shame. I'm sad anyone ever has to experience trauma but I am grateful to have found this community. I don't even know where to begin, starting a journal sounds like a good idea. I'm only worried I'll re-read and obsess over details. I'm more ashamed than anything, I'm not sure how to process anything else at the moment. I'm hoping 7cups helps me too. All love ♡ Intergalactic
