Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
Mental health advice to help cope with trauma. Content Warning.
Mental illness can be very tough, especially trauma. When dealing with trauma we simply don't acknowledge that we are survivors to some of the most horrific things in life. We, as humans, can adapt to anything. We are built in such a way that we can develope the coping skills necessary to function through daily life and the problems we face. We learn as we go along how to avoid horrific situations and how to deal with it i the need should arise where we are faced with a tough situation.

When The Cheese Moves: Protecting Your Mental Health During Times Of Change & Uncertainty
If you have ever studied business at tertiary level, you might be familiar with a book called Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson. You would be forgiven for thinking that the author would be psychic, as this book (and hence the metaphor of your cheese being moved) is heavily, unfairly, and relatably relevant today as it has ever been. Change is, and has always been constant. In these current times of economic and geopolitical change - uncertainty, tension and perhaps some pleasant surprises in the right direction means that the cheese is constantly being moved. The mouse has to expend more time and energy to find that displaced cheese in ensuring that satiety levels are met - same with us humans, as frustrating or as enlightening as that is. (Think of some other gourmet food if you don't like cheese for whatever reason.)

With God as My Witness, I Learned to Trust My Body
I write this as a witness to a pattern that is often denied because it is uncomfortable to name. Many survivors of childhood and adult abuse describe a similar mechanism: their internal signals of danger are consistently invalidated by authority figures who use love, fear, and confusion in cycles.
