Each day is a struggle to get & stay in the positive. Memories come out of nowhere or get triggered by different things. Usually sudden...the impact varies in intensity. Then the church abuse story continues in the headlines. Always a punch in the gut. Especially for me, the former altar boy, church goer, believer.
This is when self soothing needs to take place. Doing positive things-meditate, exercise, get a massage, acupuncture. Often just going to work, paying bills helps me.
Hug yourself, stay strong...................
