Hi, everyone. I just started research on trauma when one of my friend share her story about how she recover from it. My purpose of sharing is just to let you acknowledge about this and hope it might be helpful for all you too.
She faced tough days. To start, she have struggled with severe anxiety and depression for years. It stems from childhood trauma that makes her believe that she is worthless and will never be or do anything of importance. All she ever want to do is make life better for others and leave the world a better place, but she was let down and defeated every time she tried to do anything. She saw herself as nothing but a failure. It is so bad that she frequently have suicidal thoughts.
She felt hopeless, lost, worthless, and fearful that she will never do anything that matters.
She had to quit her job too because she was so depressed. She was extremely self-deprecating and do not value her life at all. She has given up on her dreams because things have never worked out for her.
This is nothing more than like a nightmare. It’s not as easy as it’s seem.
What is the definition of trauma in simple words?
The deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences.
Examples of traumatic events include:
- death of family member, lover, friend, teacher, or pet
- divorce
- physical pain or injury (e.g. severe car accident)
- serious illness
- war
- natural disasters
- terrorism
- moving to a new location
- parental abandonment
- witnessing a death
- rape
- domestic abuse
- prison stay
These are some examples of traumatic events and my friend became one of the victim from it. But thank God she is totally fine by taking some help from professional therapist and by her own self belief and because of some most important people in her life. She has now started her own business. And I am so happy for her. I am glad she is fine now.
