Trauma brain sees good news as a threatening trigger…

[@1belujsh]

I have no clue what trauma I’ve experienced (or suppressed), but this is crazy relatable. The come up could be on the horizon, but the drop always looks to be guaranteed. Although, it’s my mind that keeps it that way and with each step, I can change it so almost ALL news is good news. Great video, you got this!!

Every time something good happens for me, it gets ruined. It has basically got to the point where if something good happens to me I can no longer get excited about it because I am always waiting for the other footwear to drop. I don't remember the last time I was excited about anything. I miss that feeling.

@@doctorwhofan1989 It’s so painful because other people who don’t have trauma from that don’t get it. They think you’re just a downer when no, there’s a real reason it’s hard to jump for joy about something.
