Self Love and Forgiveness

[FeralCatman]

 

For those with some form of trauma, especially developmental trauma, healing from these medications can be especially tough because your nervous system is already on shaky ground from the trauma. As you go through this process withdrawal and your trauma history will feed on each other. I know because this is what I am going through having had multiple traumas throughout my life including developmental trauma. I am lucky to be retired and have stable income and my own home. I live alone and have no other responsibility other than myself so I have full control over my days. Many do not which makes this even harder. My advice for those dealing with the double whammy of withdrawal and trauma is, to the best of your ability and resources, cut yourself a F****** break any chance you can. Don't be ashamed to or afraid to focus on yourself for now. It's not selfish, it's necessary to get through this. There will be time for other things and other people later. Take the time to make yourself okay before you go back to being okay for other people. 😉✌️😺😺😺
