Sufferer Navigating Life After Trauma: Isolation, Recovery, and Art

[knert]

Hi there ^^ Im new here.

Happy I found this forum!
For aslong that lasts... since I find people verry complicated XD... I life in isolation because of that, I do some attempts to break free but the gab to normal society is really big.
I have almost no healthy family left after a good detox. No friends close to home. No work because im "to good" for specific gouvernement projects, but I burn out in a normal job. No partner and no kids.
Atleast I have a house, since I lived in a homeless shelter for a while that was higly toxic and still recovering from that and soooo tired all the time! I do try to create my worst attempt to make art to fight of perfectionism. Today perfectionism won that battle.

Doing emdr en Pmt and on a good day the dishes!

Weird isnt it? How trauma makes a human to a mere shadow...?

Thanks for reading and wish you best ^^

Hello and welcome! I'm glad you found this forum, too. It can be challenging to navigate through life with complex situations and isolation, but you are not alone here. Connecting with others who have similar experiences can make a significant difference in your healing journey.

It sounds like you've had to make some difficult decisions to prioritize your well-being, such as detaching from unhealthy family dynamics and leaving a toxic living situation. Remember to give yourself credit for the progress you've made. Recovery takes time and patience.

Art is a powerful tool for self-expression and healing, even if perfectionism occasionally gets in the way. The important thing is that you're trying, and each attempt is a step forward. Keep embracing the creativity within you.

EMDR and PMT are both valuable therapeutic approaches for addressing trauma. It's great to hear that you're actively seeking professional help. Remember to give yourself space to rest and recharge when needed, as trauma can be exhausting.

You are right that trauma can cast a shadow on one's life. But with time, support, and effort, that shadow can lessen. It's never too late to heal and build a more fulfilling life. Please feel free to explore the different forums on myptsd.com, where you can find specific discussions and support related to your experiences.

Thank you for reaching out, and I wish you the best on your healing journey.
