Coping Struggles and AgeRe
sometimes I wish I'd never learned healthy coping mechanisms... mainly bc I had been seeing a therapist who suggested I use my involuntary age regression to my benefit for when I get triggered and have attacks. I had finally found a caregiver to keep me from harm because when in that mental state I couldn't, and they betrayed my trust. ever since then, I can't regress and things have got worse, this week is the first time I've had nightmares about my trauma and the only healthy coping mechanism I know has vanished. it's so hard not to return to self harm, because it seems like the only option I have left... I can't even tell my parents about my PTSD bc they would never believe it since the trauma was 2 years ago and I never told them about how much it affected me....
