the overwhelming urge to scream and cry and headbutt a wall for a while because omg please can I stop feeling them on my skin

when i die i will haunt you for eternity, i'll make sure to never let you feel safe, just like you did to me.

My body is mine and I get to choose how it is handled.

[common-nobody]

you were a child, it wasn't your fault. you were a child, it wasn't your fault. you were a child, it wasn't your fault. you were a child, it wasn't your fault.

you were a child. it wasn't your fault.

I hate having so many specific triggers that my closest friends “need” to adapt to.

Healing is realising I was a child and nothing they say will ever justify or excuse anything they did.

[notabled-noodle]

funny how sometimes my brain is like “huh. a trigger” and sometimes my brain is like “FUCK! A TRIGGER!” if you know what I mean

Things no one ever told you were trauma symptoms:

Finding it hard to feel “appropriate” emotions for certain situations

Feeling like you don’t deserve praise or success

Difficulty connecting with your body

Second guessing everything you do

Asking for help is a terrifying concept

Chasing something new rather then sitting with emotions

Always being busy so you don’t have time to feel etc

Feeling like you are “too much” for others even if you are barely in the room

[scarlet-rotted]

I will literally stay up ruminating on something someone said, and they probably don’t think about it the next day.

it’s a fun time when you have both :,)

literally awful, i never know what love is but i crave it so bad

People will tell you “trust me, I’m not going anywhere” and then two days later never speak to you again with no explanation. Abandonment doesn’t even phase me anymore. Everyone else left why wouldn’t you.
