no one tells you what its like to be self aware of your mental illness. i know im irrationally angry and i know im just being paranoid and its the tiny piece of rational mind i have left and the unstable part of me fighting each other every second and i just want it to stop
please stop telling trauma survivors that it “made us who we are”.
it’s a huge disservice to us and implies that we needed the trauma. we didn’t.
some of us don’t want to be defined by it. some of us haven’t become better people because of it. some of us stayed who we are despite it. don’t give the trauma credit for us being able to make it through and survive.
