Hi TotalDamage.
Welcome to the Forum.
Who diagnosed or labelled you as being permanently damaged?
O.K. Now that this is clarified, on to the second question.
How can you trust that is information is accurate, when the source
of this information, is NOT 100% reliable?
Now again, that this is clarified, the third question: How can one's soul get crushed, when the soul is immortal and uncrushable?
My (too sense) 2 cents of Wisdom.
Your own Soul has agreed to this, as part of the contract.
You may learn a valuable lesson if you choose to.
Free will gives you that choice. Look for your Higher Purpose.
Hint: It is not within the Ego. It's within your Spirit.
And true Strength will present itself.
"Honor your Worthiness to Receive Peace, Wisdom, Joy and Love"
regardless of ANY circumstances in your life!
Wish you well.
Niko
I don't know what your trauma was but to me the worst trauma to have is to lose your child. In 1992, my only child, Serena, died in a car accident when she was 16. I didn't think I would live through it. One second she was alive and talking to me and the next she was dead. I can see how she looked right after she died. How I had to remember over and over that she had died. Each time it was like the first time. I was depressed and unable to do anything for two years. But things get better. I did live. I do, when not depressed, take enjoyment out of life. I will never completely get over it but I was able to make a new life. You can too.
