The Trauma Conversation: The Emotional

I am having this conversation

There are plenty of people who don’t think it’s as bad as I claim

I disagree

I’m living it

Are you there when I’ve checked out mentally because of the trauma?

Are you there when a trigger appears and I have to fight with every fibre to keep from being reduced to rubble?

Are you there when someone promises something but due to others failing to help before, why should I believe them?

Are you there when I can sense a depressive episode coming but can’t stop it?

Were you there when the narcissist ran through every single play in his book to try to elicit a reaction?

Were you there when, as a result of the constant barrage of ammunition, a reaction finally did happen?

Are you there for when the mood swings happen? The detachment? The panic attacks? During the rounds of ‘the blame game’?

I could go on

But why should I

What happens in my head and in the universe immediately around me is completely different than what your perception is telling you
