When we say "I am Fine" but we know we are not

So often we feel like statues (cold, static, stuck, emotionless), we say we are fine, but we are carrying all sorts of loss, hurt, disappointments, loneliness, and traumas. We just don't know how to fit in, recover, where it all started, or even what the cause is.

It is so overwhelming and unendurable that the only way to survive it is to disconnect from myself.

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

"If you don’t heal what hurt you, you’ll bleed on those who didn’t cut you."

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

When all you see is disaster and you live in your past pains, it can feel like you're trapped in a cycle with no way out.

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

"Healing isn’t about erasing your pain. It’s about learning to live fully in the present."

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

If nothing excites you and you feel as though you’re just numb to everything around you, it can be an isolating and confusing experience.

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

“It’s not the story of trauma that heals, but the presence of someone who truly sees you, and who holds space for you.” Gabor Maté

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

Always feeling like you're just coping, stuck in a state of drudgery, running on a never-ending treadmill—yet you tell everyone you’re fine?

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

Struggling with persistent sadness or a sense of melancholy

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.
