survivors of abuse have limits that can change very frequently. sometimes we’re less sensitive to triggers, while other times we’re more sensitive.
i want to remind all of you: just because you’re feeling more sensitive today or any other day doesn’t mean you’re weak.
it doesn’t mean you’re no longer making progress. it means that today your limits are just a little bit lower than usual.
if you panic about something that normally wouldn’t bother you at all, you’re not weak.
there are ups and downs in recovery, good days and bad days.
you aren’t weak. you’ve made it this far, and just for that, you are so strong.
i’m proud of you.
