Trauma leaves lasting wounds, but numbing pain with drugs and alcohol only deepens the suffering. Although self-medication may seem like an escape, it damages the body and creates new chains of dependency. The path to healing is not easy, but it is possible. With therapy, support, and healthier coping mechanisms, people can face their fears, overcome their inner demons, and take back control of their lives.
Stress can play a major role in memory lapses, especially for people living with OCD and trauma. When the mind is overwhelmed by anxiety, daily pressures, or too many competing tasks, it can become harder to focus on intrusive thoughts or compulsions. Preoccupation with other responsibilities may naturally push the urge into the background, allowing it to fade over time. In this way, stress and distraction, although challenging, can sometimes disrupt the cycle of OCD by creating moments where the compulsion is forgotten.
If only we could erase bad memories and achieve financial stability for the rest of our lives, our mental health would no doubt improve. A reflection on trauma, OCD, MS, and the importance of stability for wellbeing
Everyone has a story worth telling. Whether your life has been filled with triumphs, challenges, wisdom, or humour, documenting your journey in a book is one of the most powerful ways to preserve your legacy. Writing a book before you die not only gives your loved ones a cherished memory but it also serves as a personal tool to reflect, heal, and leave your mark on the world.
Customer advisors are often the unsung heroes of the high street. They are there to assist, inform, and represent a company professionally, but they are not there to be shouted at, belittled, or physically disrespected.
Trauma is not one-size-fits-all. For some, it heals. For others, it becomes their lifelong companion. It’s not about being weak, it’s about having seen and felt too much. It’s about carrying a weight that no one else can see.
Though trauma may never fully disappear, it can transform into strength. By understanding its roots, recognising how it impacts the mind and body, and gently working toward recovery, survivors can reclaim their lives. The editor is a testament to this. Through her pain, she has cultivated purpose, using her lived experience to educate, support, and inspire others who feel lost in the shadows of trauma and mental illness. Her message is clear: you are not alone.
The upcoming bill addressing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) reform and broader budget cuts could mark a turning point for millions of vulnerable citizens across the UK. If passed, it threatens to withdraw essential support from disabled individuals who rely on this benefit to maintain basic quality of life.
If you are carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or fear, know that your pain does not have to define you, it can guide you. Finding a purpose, especially through helping others who are facing their own struggles, can bring unexpected healing. Whether it’s through sharing your story, offering a listening ear, or simply showing kindness, your experience has the power to become someone else’s lifeline. In lifting others, you may begin to lift yourself, and in easing their pain, you may gently quiet your own. 💛
Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to an event—or series of events—that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. It’s not just about what happened, but how it made you feel: unsafe, powerless, or deeply shaken. Trauma can stem from a one-time incident like an accident or loss, or from long-term experiences like abuse, neglect, or living in constant fear.
