I couldn’t believe HOW much more time I had in my life to do any and everything once I left my relationship. I spent all of my time bracing, none of my time being freely me

I think the common term for this is "walking on eggshells"

I only just learning how braced I’ve been my whole life. As I practice somatics and am releasing some of this, I’m hyper aware when I start to brace again, and I do it ALL the time

I just got out of such a situation, Jan 1st.. It actually was somebody I believed in. He helped me out of narcolepsy, but once out of survival mode.. the flip started and there was no room for me to recharge, refund myself. So that was my exit

I’m a month out of that relationship and I still feel that constant exhaustion! I’m trying to let myself know things are different, but sometimes that just feels like a familiar demand.

Great description of this state. I always referred to it as ‘apprehension’.

This channel and how you explain this is beyond the best cn content I’ve ever seen. Because it’s not the narcissistic ex or family system that people want to categorize it in. It’s a total take over of your body and system and refusal to let you be regulated. I’m turning 45 and I’m in chronic pain and have to now adress health issues I didn’t cause or ignore or refuse to prevent. You get through 20 years of talk therapy and EMDR and healing and then your body says “hey you were damaged slowly from day 1… sorry but now physically it’s time to be retraumatized by your abusers …” no wonder we burn out …

I have no idea who I am because I stay in that state. I carry it with me wherever I go. And if i start to come out of it and act like myself everyone then thinks I’m being strange so everyone I know fights to keep me empty and waiting….
