Hi Gremlinsinc, First of all, I'm impressed, you're a real fighter . Everyone is different, so it's possible that my approach might not fit perfectly with what you need.

Usually, when I want to get through trauma, I stay occupied with activities that I love and give myself time (sometimes several years). I'm introverted, so I recharge my batteries by doing activities like running, learning a new language or skill, cooking, or cleaning. Once my batteries are recharged, I'm able to accept that I'm human and it's normal to experience these emotions.

My next step is similar to what you did in this message. If the trauma is too big, I share my thoughts and reflections with people I trust. When they share their thoughts, I only take what I think fits my situation.

For me, it takes time and effort to work through trauma. I stay patient, trust the process, and keep fighting. I love fighting .

I started learning guitar, and can play a bunch of songs.. (1 hour per day)...oddly I've been able to focus on that... everyday since April... It's very therapeutic as it makes me stop thinking so much.
