sexual trauma

I had a friend. A very good friend I thought who I met on here. I was open with her and would share everything.

I guess everything was too much. My friend just dropped me. She said I needed help, she said that I was too unstable though I thought I was doing well. She said many hurtful things and now I feel myself really spiraling. If the one person you thought could understand you decided you’re too much to deal with then what does that say about you?
What does that say about your life? Your family? Your husband and children?

I went through a traumatic experience recently and then this added to it… I don’t know how much more I can take. The voices in my head (not lieteral) tend to make me feel like a failure and feel like everyone else is better off without me. How much more do I feel that way now?

Love the weekends, especially when you don't have to get up early to go somewhere. Are you a morning person, or night owl? #lifeslittlejoys #MightyTogether #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #Anxiety #Depression #sad #Trauma #PTSD #CPTSD #ChildhoodEmotionalAbuse #Shame #MentalHealth #SexualTrauma #Daterape #Religious Trauma #MedicalTrauma #InflammatoryBowelDiseaseIBD #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis #jpouch #BodyImage #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #Insomnia #GastroesophagealRefluxDisease #stomachulcer #RheumatoidArthritis #Jointpain #stricture #MultipleDisabilities #Loneliness #Grief #Suicide #checkinonme #Childhoodtrauma #DistractMe #CheerMeOn #MakeMeLaugh #TheMighty #MightyMinute #52SmallThings #liftmeup #everythinggenx #MightyPets

Pets do a lot for us, that I know for sure. For anyone who can't have a pet, animal videos are a pretty good replacement or addition to making you feel better. #lifeslittlejoys #MightyTogether #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #Anxiety #Depression #sad #Trauma #PTSD #CPTSD #ChildhoodEmotionalAbuse #Shame #MentalHealth #SexualTrauma #Daterape #Religious Trauma #MedicalTrauma #InflammatoryBowelDiseaseIBD #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis #jpouch #BodyImage #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #Insomnia #GastroesophagealRefluxDisease #stomachulcer #RheumatoidArthritis #Jointpain #stricture #MultipleDisabilities #Loneliness #Grief #Suicide #checkinonme #Childhoodtrauma #DistractMe #CheerMeOn #MakeMeLaugh #TheMighty #MightyMinute #52SmallThings #liftmeup #everythinggenx #MightyPets

There are, most commonly, four different responses a person can have when faced with trauma: fight, flight, freeze, and a less-talked about response called fawning. I’m curious, which one is your knee-jerk reaction most of the time? (Fawning is definitely my go-to response! It’s something I want to actively work on, though.)

Here’s a bit more about what each response can look like. Which resonates with you?

🥊 fight — explosive types of outbursts, self-preservation at all costs

🦅 flight — becoming chronically busy, obsessive thinking or behavior, rushing

🥶 freeze — most often experienced as disassociation, finding comfort in solitude/isolation

⚠️ fawn — a form of people-pleasing, often become codependent, unable to say how you think/feel, avoid conflict

What is your room like? Is it neat as a pin? Or Is it dangerously messy? Or is it somewhere in the middle? #liftmeup #MightyTogether #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #Anxiety #Depression #sad #Trauma #PTSD #CPTSD #ChildhoodEmotionalAbuse #Shame #MentalHealth #SexualTrauma #Daterape #Religious Trauma #MedicalTrauma #InflammatoryBowelDiseaseIBD #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis #jpouch #BodyImage #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #Insomnia #GastroesophagealRefluxDisease #stomachulcer #RheumatoidArthritis #Jointpain #stricture #MultipleDisabilities #Loneliness #Grief #Suicide #checkinonme #Childhoodtrauma #DistractMe #CheerMeOn #MakeMeLaugh #TheMighty #MightyPets #everythinggenx #MightyPets #MightyMinute
