Some of you've seen some of my comments on my trauma. C-ptsd. C for Complex. It means multiple events or similar ones over a long period of time like domestic abuse, parental abuse, what have you.
I’m a decent Shinedown fan and of Brent Smith’s solo work and this song I’ve heard a few times since they released it but I never really gave it a hard listen until tonight. Checking out the official video it reminds me of when I was ..heh..well I wasn’t doing very well and could’ve really benefited from a few hugs and then some for sure. Kinda like the girl in the video. I post this because I know a lot of us suffered with abuse and a lot more of us suffer still at our own abuse from our own thoughts. Having been someone who tried to quit life once as a suicide survivor, please hear me now. Breathe. It’ll be ok. It may not all work out the way we want or intended but it’ll be ok. Take one day at a time. Don’t force too high of expectations onto yourself. You’re setting yourself up for something you might not handle very well so lower the bar. Take your time, sightsee on this journey. LIVE. There’s no rushing life when you take the time to enjoy it. You’re worth it. Love yourself. You’re gonna be ok.
