The irrational seems rational, feels real, it’s called childhood PTSD, developmental trauma to be more exact.
I understand the mechanics of PTSD very well, I have no idea why my mind makes old trauma so important, so alive, so persistent, so damaging.
Irrational, I know that but knowing has not healed it.
My mind is mush, confused, anxious, worn out, in and out of survivor mode.
My mind is alert for danger, emotional danger at all times again.
This has a big impact, it isolates me and takes enjoyment out of life.
Emotional fear is so abstract when attached to violent trauma.
Its like an evil ghost haunting me.
Irrational but automatic, it happens without my input, it is exhausting and painful.
Working on forgiveness has just stirred up the shit even more.
I could scream, this is so frustrating, I have done the hard work for over a decade.
