Someone Who Has Been Emotionally Abused Will:

The thing is, I know I can survive.

I've done it before, I can do it again.

But why should I have to?

I don't want to.

“Before you can love someone else, you must first love yourself.“ Bullshit. I loved you till the bottom of my heart. And while loving you, I had these fresh selfmade cuts on my body.”

“Do you ever miss someone so bad, you break down and bawl your eyes out, because you are having a really hard time right now and that person is the only one on this planet who can make you feel better but you don’t want to bother them. So all you can do is break down and cry.”

I’m not good enough.

People need to understand that for those who have gone through trauma experience things differently.

If you went through an abandonment as a child, a breakup others would get over with in months can take years to overcome.

If you went through domestic abuse, even small changes in a loved one's tone can make you anxious.

If you were belittled your whole childhood, being professionally critized at work can feel like the end of the world.

Trauma effects us for a long time after it occurs.
