Hey PC,
I hope you feel better soon. Maybe you should read when you feel like going to sleep! lol. I just wanted to tell you something. I have experienced trauma too. You're not alone. Many people feel the way you do. Maybe not all about the same thingsbut nonetheless.
I just want you to know that 1.) you're not alone in feeling hurt in life. But 2.) what helped me, was taking time away from the place (which you're doing a good job of, by protecting yourself), I also did grieve, I was angry, etc. Also it took me a long time to realize this, that I had to get out of the victim mentality. I don't know how you feel about this, but I have learned, slowly and over time, that people are not out to get me. I am not a weird pariah, even if sometimes I might perceive it that way.
I have read before, that we carry stories with us. Our own stories. Whether they are negative, or positive. And they just follow us around. Maybe we learned them in childhood, or just throughout our lives. I think that over time, if we become aware of them, we can change our negative stories and beliefs about how our life and interactions with others is going to go.
But in terms of right now, I hope that you get some rest. If i were the sandman, I'd make sure to stop by your house. If not, try to just accept where you are right now. I have this thing on my wall that says: "there is no rush, no right or wrong, there is only me, blooming into being and basking in the light. I am right on time."
