Trauma..?
Hi everyone, hope you all are striving and achieving your goals to happiness everyday.
Recently I did something amazing.
I invest my time in observing myself. So, these days I was busy scrolling from multiple platforms and suddenly i realized something, a pain? . Maybe a hidden grief that turned my mood to sad and hurt.
Reason! . There should be a reason right? but the thing is , I didn’t even know myself what was hurting or making me feel sad. And THEN , I realized what was happening .
My mind started developing these emotions because i was too focused on the content in front of my eyes. That’s when everything clicked . I mean have you ever experienced watching a reel on a disorder and suddenly finding all symptoms in your own body.
For example , trauma and it’s types are quite a interacting topic of today right , and especially reels describing trauma symptoms and types , it’s honestly one of the most watched topics online these days . Such reels or content does have a good impact as it educates people and helps them realizing that they need help , but it also creates a mix up in actual conditions and temporary phases.

Like just look today , many people self diagnose themselves with trauma content — but is it always trauma, or just normal struggles?
Well without clear diagnosis of professional , you can’t just say that the person claiming traumatic is just exaggeration,
but nowadays it more feels like trend than condition.
Let’s be honest , we all experience days when we feel more craved for affection , we feel weak , lost , and sometimes we even feel like not even eating or sleeping but, it’s normal . Our body goes through changes both physically and mentally and it really leaves an affect and impact on mental and physical energy , so it’s normal at least in most cases.
There are some cases and chances that the person experiencing this might have some trauma within , but it’s just in some cases , not everybody . I m not a medical person but I know one thing for sure that , even if the person is suffering from trauma and seek some professional help, professionals would never recommend withdrawing or isolating, like we sometimes do when we feel overwhelmed. , but trust me trauma is not an easy thing , only the person who is suffering or has suffered can actually tell , how being in trauma feels like?
It’s more like a person with depression , I mean you can’t just tell by looking at the person that whether that person has depression or just some temporary stress. You never know the cheerful person you know is actually suffering from the real deal.
What i m trying to say is that although spreading information is important especially in case of mental health as many people just ignore it and move on to their lives , but still doing self diagnosis and not confirming it from professionals is alarming. it’s concerning when serious conditions are turned into trends online . It is good if you are accepting your limits and working on recovery but misjudging own self is harmful.
