This is what complex trauma can look like.

A smile on my face
Tears streaming down my face
Not being able to regulate my emotions or my nervous system to the point of squeezing my arm so tightly it leaves a mark.
Sometimes the only way out of my trapped rage and spiral in my brain is to hit myself.
Then more smiles on my face and loving life
Then the next hating myself and wrecking everything.
Then the bruises appear where I let it out. Then I feel ashamed and embarrassed.

I didn’t want to share this but thought maybe I should. It might help someone struggling with complex mental health issues and feel less alone.

Life is fu***ng hard sometimes. And sometimes life is easy and good.

Thankfully I have a good support team behind me at the moment. In the past I didn’t have the support and struggled alone.

If you are struggling reach out. Reach out to anyone. Even to me. When someone close asks if you are OK don’t wear a mask and say you are when you really are not. You may be surprised who is out there willing to hold your hand during the bad and ugly times.

Meet Rupert. The newest member of the family.

I love stuffed toys but haven’t had them for ages. I have been begging for one for a long time now.

I feel that Rupert will help me heal. He will listen to me and snuggle me without any fuss. I find comfort in stuffed toys. I did as a child. They were my only constant thing in my life growing up. They were my friends.

Rupert is a very fancy bear from Vivienne Cate - Leather, Linen & Luxury he is made from alpaca/llama fleece. The lovely lady at Vivienne Cate - Leather, Linen & Luxury opened the doors to her shop after she closed as she saw us spying Rupert through the window.

Thank you to my partner Shane for gifting me Rupert.
