π Indescribable pain and grief
π Hyperindependence and Self isolation
π Suicidal ideation
π Trying to fix and rescue others to distract from my own chaos
π Watching loved ones in life destructive alcohol addiction
π Using alcohol and co***ne myself to numb everything
π Panic attacks and constant anxiety
π Sunshine masks at work, perfectionism and overworking
π Keeping up appearances πΈ
π Feeling broken, lost and like an alien
π Nightmares, hallucinations and sleepless nights
π Fuelled by booze and coffee
π Relational trauma and crippling fear of intimacy
