ive got that exact feeling of how ill never be normal again. ive seen some messed up stuff too and i find that it helps me to share the experience with loved ones, like spreading weight over a net to make it easier to carry.

I've seen some really crazy stuff too. I wish I could hug you. I'm 21 now and I still have dreams of the things I saw. I find that being honest with myself and not shoving down the memories helped with my recovery.

what do you mean not shoving down the memories? (u/CryingInDaClurb)
For example, when a bad memory comes into your mind don't deny it. Don't try to push it away but allow it to remain for a moment. Don't relive it but give it the space to be at the front of your mind. I know that it's super hard to allow the horrible memories to take up your mind but processing them is more important for your journey than pushing it away. (u/PokeFan)
ill try but im not sure. (u/CryingInDaClurb)
