@Russell It doesn't, but it gets easier to bear.
-F/R

@Felthry @Russell Yeah, I agree with this based on my own experences. Wounds heal, scars form sometimes, and sometimes those scars will still pull funny years after the healing is long over - doesn't matter if it's mental or physical wounds.

Bad brain stuff 

@LexYeen @Felthry it’s mostly stuff about my ex and what she did to me. The fact that it feels like the ten years we were together never meant anything to her, how she took advantage of me for sex, just… when it feels like “hey maybe it’s getting better” things just will feel worse.

I’ve been trying to poke around on barq to sort of, fill the void that’s been in my life and my trauma has been making it hard and making me feel undesirable…

re: Bad brain stuff 

@Russell @Felthry Dude, /ten years?/ That'd leave /anyone's/ mental state battered and bruised, even long after things came to a conclusion, and I'm /so/ sorry to hear you were taken advantage of like that.

You aren't defined by your trauma, or by the people who chose to hurt you. 💙
