Puh…I went deep into coping last night. Binge watched till 4AM.
Realizing now that I am in the trauma spiral again. Admitting this and feeling the shame, made me get out of it again.
In hindsight to the talk I had yesterday, where a lot was about beeing a man made me realize:
For me an important part of being a man is to be able to admit a defeat. To be able to take good care of my nervous system. To know my limitations. And being able to surrender to them.
And not trying to fight a dragon that is to powerful to conquer.
And as I write this down I start to see that this is the balanced approach…not pure masculinity, but rather balance between the masculine and feminine withhin me.
What came up in the last week more and more is that I am so extremely angry with my parents. For this upbringing that gave me CPTSD and all those issues. I know that they werent able to do it better. But this doesnt change my situation.
This doesnt change this deep rooted fear that is ingrained in my nervous system.
This doesnt change those brain anomalys and neurodivergence that were created in me.
And saying this makes me realize that I havent accepted and griefed that myself.
I am hurt about this. And this is okay.
I am having issues expressing my sadness again. Its stuck in my throat.
It doesnt change the fact that spending with my family is unhealthy for me.
