for me I just feel like the negativity is a stronger "entity" and it just takes over. The positive stuff really doesn't stand a chance nor feel real enough to believe and feel

Personally, I also feel as though if I’m happy, that will eradicate all of the trauma I’ve experienced, and somehow I now have an expectation to be happy all the time and to “let the past go.”

so true! as a person dealing with that right now, I've been trying to get back into art, but my brain's creating so much friction and I get irritated. I traced it back to so much going on in the background, that I don't really "deserve" to enjoy downtime. or waiting for the other shoe to drop. like I don't want to get interrupted by remembering all the stuff going wrong in my life, or things that can get worse. or someone actually bothering me about it, even by a text. or reminding me that dinnertime is rolling around etc.

I definitely relate to this. And as a patient in therapy, dealing with complex developmental and attachment trauma, your content makes me feel really seen and heard. Also, it’s so important for me to make sense, and your content makes sense of a lot of experiences that I relate to. (Also, my therapist is great.)

Recently tried to learn to let myself be happy. The sheer panic in my being is so insane. I can’t help but feel as if there’s a rug pull I’m missing the signs of

This made me try to remember what I told my therapist about why I was coming to therapy when I first started. I didn’t say that I wanted to be happy. I remember I said I wanted to stop hating myself and I wanted to stay.
