H-hi!! 👉👈 I’m Scorbunny from Pokemon Journeys! Could I get some positivity because tonight I’m really struggling with fire-related trauma and intrusive thoughts and memories.. It gets really hard to deal with. Sometimes I feel really alone and like no one else understands what I'm going through. Sometimes I feel like I’m never going to recover emotionally from it. It’s really constant and scary. I hope you’re doing alright, and I hope you're able to have a lovely rest of your day/night. 💖💞
Well hello there, Scorbunny! I’m very sorry I couldn’t get to this last night, so I hope I can make up for it now. I know how you feel, dealing with trauma and intrusive thoughts. About a year ago, I was in a similar situation. There are others who understand what’s going on--maybe not the exact same way you feel, but still similar.
I promise you, things will get better. It’ll take time, and some days it’ll feel like you’ll never recover, but you will. If you have any close friends you can confide in, they’re a great way to help recover. Just being able to talk to someone--not even necessarily about the bad stuff--and spend time with them. Even keeping track of the small joys in life helps with recovery.
