Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; The storm after the storm.

"Mummy, Can I Play Out Please?". Content Warning.
I never go back to my childhood home, because the street fills my head with tormenting memories from my past. However, not everything was negative about my childhood. There are also happy memories mixed in with sadness.

Self-Directed Anger Has to Go
A key feature of an unhealthy mindset is (sometimes self-placed) restrictions on one's life. In my own case, this showed up as chronic/invisible illnesses, abuse/trauma, CPTSD, anxiety, etc.

Wisdom Teeth
A common experience for teenagers, my wisdom teeth were coming in. Some people have enough room in their mouth to accommodate the addition, but I was not so fortunate. My bottom two wisdom teeth grew at a diagonal, angling closer and closer to my molars. The top two were clearly a bit drunk and attempted to spiral out of the side of my jaw.

All Grown Up. Content Warning.
He was young my science teacher. It was love or so I thought. He taught me how to be passionate and how to stick out when you aren't very confident. Now he's on a list of adults not to trust. I don't know why knew him that much. I don't actually remember anything I was supposed to learn in science during those years. But loves a pretty fickle creature that's the lesson I was taught. I pretended I adjusted, as the silence ate away. I told someone I thought I trusted, but she didn't even wait a day. This was not supposed to happen not today and not to me. Now it's little lies and Big decisions, Who to tell and where to go. Follow someone else's vision or trust my own cause I don't know. it's bittersweet to think about the damage that we'd do. Cause I was going down but I was doing it with him. Was I stupid to love him? Reckless to want to help? was it obvious to everyone else? He was never on my side. There's things I want to tell everyone but I'll just let it be.

Senses and Sensibility
Do you ever catch a whiff of a scent that instantly transports you to the past? The aroma of fresh bread suddenly brings you back to a stool in your grandmother’s kitchen, enveloped in a sense of warmth and calm. Degree deodorant gives you butterflies in your stomach as though your old fling just walked by, even years after the fact.

Finding Hope in the Darkness
I woke up that morning with a heavy feeling in my chest as if an invisible weight was crushing my spirit. I tried to shake it off, convincing myself that it was just a passing feeling, but little did I know that this was the beginning of a long and arduous journey through depression.

The Acid Trip to Hell #4 . Content Warning.
PART 4 OF 6 Now I can hear Elia is on the phone to Jason (and still in the bathroom). I knock on the door and say I really need in. No response. I can literally hear that she just stopped talking because I knocked. I knock again. Harder. And harder. I’ve had enough of this game they are playing with me.
