If your mental health were an animal, what animal would it be?

Hi Mighty fam! 🩷

If you could pick an animal that represented your mental health right now (real or fictional), what would you choose? What makes that animal fit where you are right now?

For me, it would be a turtle. I've been finding myself wanting to be alone in my dark, quiet shell — my safe space — moving at my own pace.

#CPTSD #nervoussystem #Psychosomatic fawn-fight-flight-freeze-shutdown

I'm experiencing intense physical reaction. The more I become avare of my (primary) needs, the more I experience intense low's - my body telling me it's enough.
Dealing with that on my own triggers early experience of being left alone (physically and emotionally).

I'm thinking of what professional support would be the right.
Any advice?

I want to be more patient with myself when _________.

Hi Mighty fam! 🌷

Sometimes it's really challenging for me to be patient with myself. When I feel as though I could be doing something "better," or when I think I should have moved on from something and it peeks its head again, I can be quite self-critical. I want to be more patient with myself when "old" feelings or patterns resurface.

Does anyone else relate? What's something you'd like to be kinder and more patient with yourself about?

#CPTSD #Independence When you learned no one would come

I think one of the saddest things about prolonged trauma is how easily you can become proud of needing nobody. You start calling it independence. You tell yourself you don't need anyone to check on you, comfort you, or stay. But sometimes "I don't need anyone" really means "I needed people so badly once, and nobody came, so I learned to stop needing them."
