I just turned off #airplanemode so that I could text my granny so that we keep our routine and she don't pop up over here BUT truthfully her son [the artist formerly known dad] had me in my feelings last night.
I'm grateful that I handled it "well" but damn.

The trauma becomes my entire reality. I spiral. It's incessant. Usually I don't realize I am in a flashback.
At different points in my life, trauma flashbacks have lasted for hours, days. Months. My masking and irrational understanding of the world made that all worse. (2/)

As did harmful coping mechanisms and beliefs about myself. For a long time, I unknowingly doubled down on my own trauma.
Stuck in the fight-or-flight, fawn-or-freeze, I decided that it was the baseline for existence, and I just had to cope and work. And so i pushed myself. (3/)
