Raw emotion of a teenager
*This was my very first poem, pretty pathetic when it comes to form, but what i love about it is that it’s just completely raw emotion, it was right when i first started dealing with depression and i had no idea the reasons i was feeling the way i was*
I’m looking up at the stars
Thinking while I hear the loud cars
Thinking how crazy my life is
I feel so lonely and depressed
I’m letting...

chest so tight
emotion at bay
breath quickens
heart is pain
legs go limp

body goes numb

the room spins

space goes dark

About Trauma
Traumatic experiences shake the foundations of our beliefs about safety, and shatter our assumptions of trust.
Because they are so far outside what we would expect, these events provoke reactions that feel strange and “crazy”. Perhaps the most helpful thing I can say here is that even though these reactions are unusual and disturbing, they are typical and expectable. By and large,...
Coping with Flashbacks
Many people with PTSD struggle in coping with flashbacks. Flashbacks are considered one of the re-experiencing symptoms of PTSD. In a flashback, a person may feel or act as though a traumatic event is happening again. A flashback may be temporary and some connection with the present moment may be maintained, or a person may lose all awareness of what is going on around him, being taken completely...

unapologeticallyleslie:
(with my commentary)
1. “Pull yourself up by the bootstraps.” (On top of this expression being rude and dismissive, it’s also outdated and stupid. STOP USING IT.)
2. “Get over it.” (1. Fuck you. 2. Why don’t you offer advice that’s actually helpful?)
3. “Everyone has mood swings from time to…
