I'm really, really sorry to hear that trauma has impacted you like that. My best friend is going through something similar, so I'll tell you what I want to tell her, which is that you're loved and appreciated no matter what and it's not your fault. Living with trauma doesn't make you inadequate or a lesser, and it's ok to react to it like this.
I think feelings of guilt and shame are common with trauma survivors. It's something I've had to work on myself and I've seen it in others. Sometimes I find it helps to imagine someone else in my situation and think about how I'd feel about them instead of how critical I am of myself.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way, I hope you feel better soon.
it does really hurt and i don't know how to love myself i had mental health stuff ive gone through self harm and suicide in the past today im ok but fighting
