As a 37-year-old woman who has been dealing with traumatic stress, I want to share my story and offer hope to others who may be going through the same thing. It’s not easy, and there are days when the weight of the past feels unbearable. But with the right support and coping mechanisms, I have found moments of peace and healing. It’s okay to seek professional help and to take the time you need to heal. You are not alone in this, and there is hope for a brighter future. Whether it’s through therapy, support groups, or simply finding healthy ways to cope, there are ways to navigate through the pain and find light at the end of the tunnel. You are strong, and you deserve to find healing and hope. Keep pushing forward, one step at a time.
