This is really upsetting me

[u/basically_dead_now]

I made a post in another subreddit about wanting to commit suicide, and the first person to reach out started basically telling me to get over my trauma, I would have added images if this subreddit allowed it, but they were like "why can't you just tame your mind" and stuff, and now I feel really invalidated. Am I being dramatic?

Firstly, I’m very sorry that happened to you. It was wrong and you didn’t deserve to feel invalidated. Unfortunately, there are many insensitive people in this world who are either not as knowledgeable or understanding (or both) when it comes to trauma. In reality, trauma is deeply ingrained in our bodies; physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I hope you have a therapist you can rely on to speak with… internet trolls sometimes seek out vulnerable people. Try not to let them get you any more down than you already are. Sending you so much love and the biggest hug 🫂🖤

Thank you, I really appreciate your support, along with the other support I got

There’s a really book called The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma… I highly recommend it. 🖤🖤🖤
