And the saddest part is, people think you’re being dramatic or not paying attention when in reality your mind has been exhausted for so long. Some people have been hurt so deeply they’ve been stuck in survival mode for years and don’t even realize it anymore. That’s why some of us feel disconnected, numb, lost, or like we’re not the same person we used to be. Trauma really changes people in silence and not enough people talk about it. 🥺
Having MEMORY LOSS from depression and trauma is a weird experience because people don’t understand how scary it is when depression and trauma start affecting your memory. Like you really start forgetting whole moments of your life, conversations, things people told you, how you used to act, and even parts of yourself. It’s like your brain got so overwhelmed from surviving everything that it started deleting things just to protect you.
