Pssst...that thing you're doing that you're using to subliminally overwhelm yourself-stop it.
Don't you fix your mouth to "nu uh" me. You know what I'm talking about.
When living thru severe trauma, folks will create an overload bc it matches our mind state.
Breathe & relax.

You see, severe trauma creates a prolonged effect on your brain & soul. You feel it even when you're not in that at the moment.
But that doesn't make sense to our brains. "I'm chilling".
It has to create a mini-crisis to make the emotions we're carrying make sense. A vent.

So, what do we do? We overburden ourselves because it's something that finally makes sense. But it makes no sense lmfao.
You'll see it in your overplanning-taking things to levels that aren't even necessary.
All because your brain is trying to make sense of your emotions.

Take a look around & simplify. Chaos only breeds more chaos, so we're going to learn to actively combat that.
"Ohhh I want to study this. So I need this, and this, and that, and I'll do that & thus...."
Yep. That's that bitch.
When you find it, make a choice to simplify.

Learn to stop & ask yourself questions before/as you plan.
Does this match my brain style? Why am I doing this? No really-why?
And be fucking honest about it.
Doesn't mean you can't do the thing. Just allow yourself simplicity with the thing.
Yes. You're allowed.

You're not wrong for having ended up in this place. You are a trauma victim trying to make sense of your experience & self.
There's no condemnation. Only healing.
But stop that. You know why you feel that way now.
Your brain needs healing space more than overwhelm.
Love yall

And let me put myself out there. I'm speaking this from first hand.
Me: Oh...I'm going to study this language. I need this resource, that app, and oh that book is free. Wow, that book would help. And what about...?
Reality: She hates grammar. Better listening
My trauma brain:

My trauma brain:
Knowing damn well I learn languages best by two simple methods-vocab & listening. I'm good with a vocab app & a damn podcast.
If you saw my "plans", they are not just an app & a podcast lmfao.
Why did I do that?
Toxic productivity. Need to achieve. No I'm not idle face ass.

You see...I deal with the toxicity of needing to produce...something.
It's how I "hid" the trauma at school. If I'm excelling at something, no one can see what a total wreck I am emotionally.
It's not a distraction, loves.
You're masking your pain.
Trust. I know.
