Really struggling today #CPTSD
TW disabilities and bullying
In my EMDR Tuesday I had a lot of memories resurface from the depths of my brain. Many of them were of people laughing at my disability from my accident and how I can't do various things. For example when I would find out I couldn't walk a few steps unaided that day and crumple down in a heap, why would you not rush to help that person up? Instead they got a mate and both pointed and laughed at me.
I had obviously tried extremely hard to bury those memories the wave of emotions that hit me like a trains I remembered more and more meant we had to stop the session early and try to calm me down. I had no recollection of many of them until Tuesday.
I've had to learn to laugh at my broken body and the strange way it lets me down or I would never stop crying. But for others to do so uninvited? It felt like I was back at my parents house as a kid when my family bullied me for my learning difficulties.
I have fought all my life against my learning difficulties and had to fight to even learn to walk again after my accident.
I think of all the aspects of my CPTSD these memories are the hardest how can people do such a thing? It's been absolutely devastating to feel what I felt all those times people laughed at my disabilities and I haven't managed to stop feeling like it since. My soul feels crushed and I'm really struggling to even breathe. I can't even summon the energy to fight my brain and insist it's all in the past.
Come back disassociation all is forgiven. #CheckInWithMe #Depression #Bully
