When you’ve been in pain majority of your life:

And dealing with trauma from a young age, depression, or any mental illness when things calm down and feel a little bit more peaceful and quiet it gets really weird without the chaos and it feels uncomfortable and really strange. Please don’t ruin the good things that are happening for you because you are used to pain and chaos. ❤️ We don’t have to be in survival mode anymore, you can learn something new. There’s nothing wrong with you and you’re not broken. ❤️We’re just learning how to do a new thing and that’s okay. ❤️

It is so damn hard to disengage from survival mode and especially once you've realized you've been in it WAY longer than you initially suspected. 🤔

Stark

@thepreposterouspanda True, a lot of people don’t realize they’re in survival mode when they’re triggered. Making it challenging to unlearn and deal with those behaviors.

I think it's cute how you just recently discovered you could make little collections on your profile 😌 sorry, that caught my attention because the little "The insides 🧠" tag at the bottom. I didn't know what that was for a sec I was so confused

But well said 🙏

Stark

@ChiefJustWalks I’m obsessedddd I have to make more.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop is almost as bad as it actually dropping.

I have lived though all of that and have become the real me but it took 30 plus years to achieve it.
