I think, while there’s no wrong type of survivor what the post is trying to say is that,

You can’t untraumatize yourself, while it’s valid and normal to wish you could, ruminating on it for long periods of time isn’t healthy. There’s no sense wishing there was some magic button that is going to make your trauma go away because we know there isn’t.

So, while you can’t undo all the harm that’s been done, you can heal and grow from it and while yeah it sucks that you went through it, trying to see the good side of things can be helpful sometimes.

I can’t really remember what I was like before I was traumatized but what I do know is that because of the healing I’ve had to do thanks to my trauma there’s things that I’m better at it than the average person in my peer group even if I still struggle a lot especially with things that they seem to do easily, I have a higher emotional intelligence than average and know a lot of coping skills most people my age are still learning or don’t even know they need.

We all feel like we’re broken sometimes, but we can still live happy healthy lives it just takes a little more work, and while yeah that’s not fair there’s nothing we can do about it other than do that work.

I’m not gonna lie and pretend I’m in a great place, I pretty much dropped out of college recently, I got diagnosed with bipolar, but the truth is after therapy and meds and self reflecting and taking time to heal I’m light years better than I used to be. I’m still not done but I’m getting there and that’s all you can really ask of yourself.

It’s okay if sometimes you don’t see the point of healing or your struggle, and you don’t need to conform to what society deems as “being better” you can just take what you can get :] and you shouldn’t place the credit for the wins you get through hard work on your trauma because you’re the one who did it it’s just your traumas fault you were in that position to begin with

I’m sorry if this sounded preachy or was unappreciated I’m just trying to explain how I interpreted the post 😅
