I experienced the most tragic thing I ever have, and anyone in my family ever has. It's a nightmare, but I've only shed a couple tears. I'm in shock, and it's like I'm frozen and time has stood still since it happened.
I have been told I've traumatized myself in my own mind, for 10+ years. And in my household, I've endured a sustained amount of stress for years. I wonder if we can become calloused, numb, and reach the ceiling where we just don't or can't feel/process as much?
I've also been taking hydroxyzine for months, and wonder about that impact on my brain/mental health.
This is heavy. I would just appreciate any thoughts, similar experiences, or kind advice.
