Please understand that some trauma survivors need to know everything they can about events, plans or anything like that. They might ask a lot of questions and need reassurance for things you might not understand. They might need step by step instructions. Please be patient with them. They are doing their best. If possible, make sure they feel reassured. It can be hard for us to not feel like a bother.

(This also applies to people with certain disorders too!)

does anyone else feel like trauma is just too big and overwhelming and if you can’t cope with it then nobody else can, so telling people would only disturb them and it’s better if you try and contain it in your body so it can’t hurt anyone else?

“here’s to the people who’s trauma did not give them thick skin. the ones who became more sensitive and insecure, who cry more easily, who get overwhelmed at small things. i’m so tired of the narrative that trauma makes you tough and untouchable. we’re survivors, not superheroes.”

have u ever been in so much emotional pain to the point where ur chest starts to hurt and it feels hard to breathe because ur brain is in so much agony to the point where it manifests that pain into physicality to cope with how much it hurts
