Recovery From Abuse

Recovery From Abuse

What they don't talk about recovering from abuse is the days where every little thing triggers you...
The days where you wake up and just want to disappear because the flashbacks and PTSD are too much....
They don't talk about the days where you have to force yourself to get up....
To do simple things like brush your hair and teeth....
They don't talk about the days where you can't eat because you will be sick if you do....
They don't talk about how you self isolate and lash out at those you love and care about because of the flashbacks....

Healing doesn't happen overnight and sometimes you'll never truly recover.
And that's okay.
What you're feeling is so valid. Despite what anyone else says.
It's okay to just curl up on days like this and watch a movie.

If all you did today was survive, I'm so proud of you!!
