Feels like you are trapped within your trauma?
It feels like your memories of past trauma and your overwhelming emotions are controlling you virus you controlling them. “Who am I?” runs through your mind constantly, because the trauma has left you feeling empty inside.
Can’t escape and feel trapped in your thoughts and emotions?
Isolation from friends and family is a way of life – otherwise, there is the fear of being misunderstood. This scene has played out before. The people closest to you don’t understand and ask, “Why don’t you just get over it?”
Constantly second guessing yourself and fearing the future?
Paralyzed. Questioning each decision. Making mistakes. No confidence.
A Too Common Story
Clara sits alone in her car. She questions if she should even go inside the house because her body and mind are invaded with anxiety and depression. She is filled with fear that the slightest interaction will have her emotions spiral out of control. Thoughts of putting on a happy face for her family already feels like she is going down that rabbit hole of panic.
Work went longer than expected, and it was significantly harder for Clara to concentrate. Her mind keeps racing to memories of past abuse (she would like to avoid) to fears that she will never be good enough at work.
As Clara finally walked in the house, she tried her best to keep a happy face, but floods of anxiety start to cripple down on her. She fights the urge to cry and scream.
But-it doesn’t matter what Clara does. She has to leave her family to hide her emotions in her room.
Clara becomes tense, and her thoughts start to race. She knows she has to make these thoughts and emotions stop.
Clara’s family tries to give her support, but she is left thinking that they don’t truly understand her. What felt like a life time, Clara finally breaths her way to some type of calm. She starts to feel numb and not feeling any emotion. She knows that this feeling isn’t perfect or healthy but it will get her through the rest of her night with her family.
Before Clara steps back out to her family, she thinks to herself, “I need help, I want to feel safe, and happy again.”
This leaves Clara feeling hopeless and isolated from the world. Clara knows if she continues this battle it will get worse.
