Thank you so much for this video! It s a great reminder to not blame myself of be too hard on myself when things seem to take more time for me. Sometimes it really feels like a life full of trauma has made me dumb. I was able to function normally til I was 19, but then had a mental breakdown from all the trauma I had endured growing up. Before that I never even had to seriously study for any tests and would pass my exams with high grades. After being diagnosed with cptsd my iq has even dropped, which was very hard for me to accept. My intelligence was the only thing I took pride in and now it was gone. Couldn t remember anything, anything that had to with using your logic/solving skills (like math, physics but also even my finances) dropped below zero and I was incapable of doing it and my concentration was completely gone. I eventually did manage to achieve some things, but have honestly always been ashamed. I worked in mental health and would tell people to do things that I didn t even want for myself. Last year I had to take a step back in a big way. Giving myself that time is slowly helping me to cope in a better way. Before last year I hadn t been able to read books for over 12/13 years, but this last year I am finally reading books again and when I can t, I listen to them and am still proud when I finish an audiobook. Anyone who survived trauma deserves grace. Grace from people around you, but mostly from yourself. Choosing to go on - even if in a different way - is strong as hell. Sending lots of love to all survivors out there!

Facts can t be changed and the person giving me the trauma can t be changed either. Today, instead of remaining silent and frozen, I confronted my mother and spoke how I ve been feeling by her verbal abuse which she never admitted or rather justified that for some reasons. It s hard to leave a house with her and other trauma generating members for a financial reasons but at least I tried!
It took so long to do that but yes, I got out of the pattern a bit!

Trauma, whether self-inflicted or the other way around, can be extremely harmful. It doesn't just fade away whenever you want it to. It leaves this permanent mark that will leave you thinking about all your past decisions you've made in your life and all the regrets that you still want a little bit of closure on. Somehow everyone deals with their own traumas very differently.

To be honest with all of ya'll I didn't even know I have trauma, anxieties and Depression until today today. My past is just suck it and walk it off, You'll be fine, man up
That's probably why I don't have any idea I'm depressed or not. Or anxious or not

I can't remember anything from my childhood. All I know is my siblings and I were heavily abused and my brain just closed off everything from before I was 13 when I was finally taken out of that environment

The strongest part of our body is our thoughts we become what we think if we say things that affect us in a positive way we'll excel if we say things that negatively affect us well downgrade.

Trauma, a condition where it affects people heavily. It might not show itself everytime but its still there lurking somewhere inside our memories or mind.

My pre-frontal cortex is damaged. And I lack certain abilities & suffer for it in a moderate way every so often. But I'm slowly being rehabilitated
