@narcissisticabuse__: Hi, it's Juliana! If you can relate to this, here are 5 things I'd recommend focusing on as you work to make your life feel safe again. 1. Get away from them. Your body can't calm down while the threat is still nearby. So the first step is creating distance. The more space you create between you and them, the sooner your body can start to settle. 2. Stop pushing yourself. When you start to feel better, your instinct might be to catch up on everything you've fallen behind on. Try not to. That almost always leads to a bigger crash a few days later. Instead, pick one small task each day and stop there. The goal here is to learn how to rest before you're exhausted, not after. This isn’t you being lazy. It’s you showing your body that you'll take care of it before it has to force you to. 3. Give your body small signs it's safe. A sense of safety isn't built on one good day. It's built on small, repeated signals that things are okay. So try picking three or four simple safety building activities and doing them every day. Take 10 slow, long exhales right after you wake up. Go for a 10-minute walk outside, every day. Take a warm shower or bath in the evening. This can help your nervous system learn it's no longer in danger. 4. Find a trauma-informed therapist. If you can, look for someone trained in approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, or trauma-focused CBT. If cost is a concern, you can use directories like Psychology Today to filter by sliding scale, or look into local support groups, group therapy, or telehealth options. 5. See a doctor. Trauma can cause chronic fatigue, but other things can too. So make an appointment, share what you've been experiencing, and ask your doctor to look into possible medical causes. There may be something physical making the fatigue worse, and it's worth ruling out so you know what you're working with. If you need someone to talk to about all of this, you can always send me a DM or book a session with me by visiting my page.
