Your daily reminder that traumatised brains are literally physically different to a normal brain. Repeated trauma and abuse has a severe, long-term effect.
If you have difficulty maintaining social bonds, concentrating, sleeping, focusing, or regulating your emotions, it’s because you’re traumatised. If you’re not happy with yourself, if you worry you’re a burden, you’re toxic, that you don’t matter, it’s because you’re traumatised. If you struggle to make it out of bed, think straight, get motivated or distracted, it’s because you’re traumatised.
Have you ever been told you’re too dramatic, or emotional? Has anyone wondered why you trust no one? Why you analyse every person’s smallest behaviour? Why you’re paranoid of the most minor signs of history repeating itself? It’s because you’re traumatised.
And it is NOT your fault.
if you’re going back to school or you’re already in school…good luck! Study hard but remember to get enough hours of sleep ❤

Reasons why you shouldn’t contact that toxic person:
- Sooner or later they will hurt you again
- They might try to give you false hope of change or a better future
- They might just not reply, to inflict more damage
- They might gaslight you to believe you’re crazy
- They might take your reaching out to them as a sign that they can continue to treat you poorly
- They might pretend to want the best for you while secretly hoping you fail
- They might enjoy throwing your mistakes in your face
- They might use it against you in future
- Most importantly, it might throw off your sense of stability, healing or self-love
Don’t contact your toxic ex-partner/friend/coworker/family member. Don’t do it!
