@stayalivevideo Have you ever felt completely numb after going through something traumatic? Trauma is tricky. In the moment, your body goes into survival mode—adrenaline takes over, numbing the fear and keeping you moving. You don’t even have time to process what’s happening. You just get through it. But once the danger is gone, the real weight of it all starts to settle in. Instead of relief, there’s shock, fragility, and sometimes even panic. It’s like your mind is catching up to what your body already survived. The feelings you pushed down start creeping back, and suddenly, it’s as if you’re reliving it all over again. That’s what trauma does—it doesn’t just disappear when the moment ends. It lingers. It resurfaces. And it can make you feel like you’re stuck in an endless loop of fear and exhaustion. But here’s the thing: you are not broken. What you’re feeling is a normal response to an abnormal experience. Healing takes time, and it’s okay if you don’t have all the answers right now. 💛 Be kind to yourself. 💛 Let yourself feel. 💛 Reach out for support—you don’t have to go through this alone. Have you ever felt this way after a difficult experience? How did you navigate it? Let’s open up the conversation in the comments. 💬✨ #TraumaHealing #PTSDRecovery #YouAreNotAlone #HealingTakesTime #MentalHealthAwareness #SurvivorStrong #AdrenalineAndTrauma #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay ♬ Very Sad - Enchan
