RE: February 24, 2023 - A devastating year of war in Ukraine

in Team Ukraine2 years ago

I had a first deal of "trolling" with the first, but who would be threatened by a traditional lullaby... you know what I mean.

Yes, I know and I have faced a similar trolling incident recently that was also part of my mental breakdown. I was a very strong woman but yes, the situation didn't let me stay strong, and surrounding and incidents tore me apart. Sometimes I feel I should have stayed in Kharkiv at home.

I lost hope though a part of me still says I will be better and feel strong once again...

Thanks dear...

Give yourself time, sometimes it's not our pain or our grief what needs to shrink but our courage and strength around it. And though you were not physically harmed it's obvious you were through a great deal of trauma, so give yourself time. And be gentle to embrace the new you because she's endured lots of stress.

Today my psychiatrist told me the same words as yours. I always push myself so hard and find it quite difficult to understand the new lifestyle. It's a struggle and I hope I can leave the past behind.

I think (this is just personal point of view) it's not about forgetting, or denying what has happened, but to grow our strength around it to overcome it, very much like an open wound scab and heal through a scar. The memory and the lesson of our lives challenges also shape who we are. Sometimes I get really sad and I delve to long in the the "what if" what if this never happened, where would I be now? And then I shake that off because you must remember you're here, here and now, and you have fought sh*it and you're standing. Be proud. And give yourself time to HEAL. Sending hugs.
