My trauma is killing me

Okay.

My trauma issues are getting more serious as time goes on. I’ve been getting flashbacks and I’ve been reliving the abuse again and again.

I don’t want to listen to a child version of me yelling, “I’m sorry!” or “Please don’t do it” or something like that. I’ve been having so much fear and I couldn’t stop crying.

It’s getting harder and harder for me to function and I don’t know how to handle this.
(Thank you to @anon94176359 and @anon39015889 for helping me as I was troubled by this.)

Distraction like music usually helps me. I’m sure you can think of some music you can get on YouTube or the radio.

I completely understand what you’re going through. I started going to a ptsd support group. I’m going to add a therapist who specializes in trauma. And this week I’m starting a life skills group that helps with coping skills. I think it should help. Can you do any of that?

I know how you feel. As a matter of fact, I’m there, too. I find distractions such as music ,comedies, even smoking…not recommended. … helps.

Sometimes, I use grounding exercises. Sometimes, I call up a particularly good memory.

I’m not sure if this helps, but I hope it does. Take care. :hugs:

Thank you. Your support means a lot to me.

Do you often hear voices during flashbacks? I was having an intense flashback and I heard a child screaming in Korean. It sounded a lot like me.

It could very well be you reliving childhood trauma.
