Just wandered through the posts by different authors and wanted to say thank you for this! I have echoes of my trauma that never quite leave, and mostly in the form of where I am doing wrong, what have I messed up today or did I do enough to earn my rest? Is there more I should be doing? I think trauma permanently , whether childhood or adult, changes the way we see ourselves and our worth. A distorted mirror that while can be understood as distorted, still occasionally reflects our defects as we perceive them. So when I am tired, or I’ve had more stressors than I am emotionally capable of handling that day, I will fall into default mode. But I remember that as faulted as I am, The Lord trusted me with this mission and gave me the tools to get through it. I remind myself He is my strength and I do not have to carry it alone.
Thanks for reading. I would love it if you considered writing something for us. You have insight, a story to tell. I perspective I don’t have, an audience I can’t reach.
Well done Marine. Very useful information. I will be circulating this in a few ways and praying that those that need to get the point begin to take steps to make their lives better and in most cases the lives of the people that care about them. This article does not just have the potential to help the person with PTSD but it can be useful to those people that care. T
hey often do not help because they do not now what to do, or do harm because they do not know what not to do.
I think I needed this today. I’ve been struggling, feeling down and worthless and guilty. It’s hard to read but important to remember that because I’ve been doing almost 10 years of therapy I have a tool box of things to help me out.
I’ve had a long road as well. Mental health is the marathon of a lifetime. Keep going, keep working. Even after the major risk factors have been reduced, the echos of trauma last a lifetime; the battle never ends. Find allies in the fight who can speak against the feelings of worthlessness! You have worth, value, and are loved.
