i do victimize myself a lot, i do make myself be sad by how shitty my life was and is.
i think its okay to grieve and tell ppl how awful it was, if they are willing to hear ofc. having the courage to say, as an example ''yes, i was abused, and i felt horribly with it, this is what i experience now because of it, it's terrible'', i like 'playing the victim' because is the only role i knew, and know. i know none of these traumas were my fault, i had nothing to do with them, other than being treated like shit.
i like playing the victim because it brings me comfort, and other people comfort me. i am not your good survivor/victim that feels like these traumas made them stronger and they are super cool and try to get over it. i am weak, i can't leave my house without having a flashback, i cant let people get near me and touch me in certain parts, i cant let people near me and say specific things about me, specific words & phrases, etc, i can't go to certain places. i can't let the traumas go, not yet, i dont think i can let them go away forever. they built me somehow, i dont wanna get over it sometimes, i like the comfort of a victim. you poor thing, because sometimes i didnt even got that from others. though i got a sorry im so sorry, i hate what i did to you. and that's okay i forgave him, i love him, he's like my brother.
yet, while i play the victim all again, i can't help but get disgusted when people call me an actual victim of what i went through, only i get to call myself that, i think. ''you were/are a victim'' ''you went through sexual abuse/assault'' ''damage is already done'' what do you mean i went through that? it's confusing for me, because somehow, while feeling all of this, i actually can't believe those stuff happened to me, it's so. out of touch, what do you mean? i was hospitalized? i could have died? what do you mean i was sexually abused more than two times?? what do you mean she is dead? cptsd is weird, you get all these confusing feelings and thoughts and you do all these weird actions, i don't think anyone can't understand it, other than us
