Proud of survival?

[(Anonymous)]

I could use your guys views on something.

Recently, I think I've sort of been through a lot. Within the past year, I finished up an overseas job, moved back to the US, got into graduate school, moved to a city I've never been to before, and finished the majority of my studies.

All along with this stress and adapting to new lifestyles and routines, my health plummeted, and I was hospitalized at one point. I was pretty terrified of this, since I'm living on student loans, and I sort of went into a bizarre mental shut down where I didn't do anything except for go to school and do work.

Along with this, my parents are fighting against losing their business, my sister had a miscarriage, and my other sister got into a car crash.

I'm at the point where I'm a few days shy of being done with the semester, and I'm feeling relieved. I'm going to go work for my parents during the break, and help with the work, and finish school in the Fall.

There was a point where I was considering going to talk to a school therapist, because I was just so stressed and everything seemed to not get better. But I didn't, and I'm kind of proud of myself for getting through all this without asking my friends, family for help, or going to a professional.

From what I've understood, some of these events might be considered traumatic. Is this true? And if it is, I've been wondering if I should maybe go talk to a professional. Any of your guys advice or thoughts would help...

You said yourself you got through it and you are coping. Good for you! I would say it is not necessary to seek help unless it is affecting you. IE if you were NOT coping if you had packed it all in or something.

Stuff happens to everyone. Traumatic stuff happens to everyone. Everyone is different in how they deal with it. Even two people with the exact same traumatic stuff happening to them will deal with it differently.

Some people downplay their own trauma because they think "Other people have it worse, so I must be some kind of weakling if I can't get through this minor thing."

If this is something provided by the school that isn't costing you anything, and if it's troubling you enough to question it, maybe it's worth just paying them a visit?

You should be proud of yourself because like everybody, you have a lot to deal with and it's hard, but you also need to know when to ask for a little bit of support. We are not designed to take on everything ourselves, that is why we form groups and why "therapist" exists as a profession. There is no shame in it whatsoever.

I'm always the person who prefer the option to talk/discussing life problems with others so I do think you should to talk to others. But only if you want to. And if you don't want to talk to people but want to express your concerns about the things that had happened and is happening around you, maybe you should write it down.

( this is quite cliche but I still think it is a good move )
