Bad Days

Too often, trauma survivors keep their bad days hidden because they’re worried about what people will think, even though the bad days are when you need help the most.

I have definitely done this due to hurtful things people said to me in the past after confiding my PTSD in the wrong people.

I’ve been told I need to let my sexual abuse go…that I have control over my thoughts, so if I’m reliving the trauma it’s because I want to or that I’m seeking attention /sympathy. I’ve been told I’m crazy, too dark, or just plain hopeless.

Find people who will work to understand you and love you through your bad days.
