Searching for cause & hoping to find others

@calmmylife57 wow! As I was reading your post I felt like I war rereading my life over again. I too had childhood trauma…a lot of emotional trauma…and was in a constant state of fight or flight. I too had a head on collision which thankfully wasn’t as bad as it could have been but totaled my car and left me with some mild injuries. Now I’m left wondering if that is what had lead to this with additional emotional trauma along the way. Thank you for sharing!

@apagano7 Thanks for sharing your story. And yes, childhood trauma changes the way the brain processes things, and then on top of that, dealing with the trauma and mild injuries from the car crash.
As the saying goes, "the body keeps the score."
Your brain and body certainly do. It’s all about the coping mechanisms we use to navigate it, alongside managing any chronic symptoms with the help of healthcare professionals. In the UK, our healthcare is free at the point of access, funded through National Insurance contributions based on salary, so I'm very grateful for their excellent care and service.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
