Fireworks Are Triggering

title. i know that a lot of you also struggle with the 4th of July as well.

i tried to power through it tonight because it’s been one year since i was in a shooting, but yeah. yea. completely overestimated myself tbh. stupid. it was so rough and lonely last year, and i think i wanted to overcompensate for that. it sucks because the 4th was one of my favorite holidays.

any advice on calming down right now? keep getting flashbacks and demeaning thoughts about my trauma.
