Have you ever got over severe trauma? How is your life now?

Many people go through trauma in their lives, some end up with PTSD and other mental health disorders afterwards, but there are many people out there who are able to overcome said trauma and go on to lead successful and happy lives. With that being said, have you ever gone through a traumatic event in your life, that you later overcame in some way? Of course trauma can't be taken away 100%, but I think people can find ways of coping with it to the point they can lead successful lives.

If you're someone who's gone through a traumatic event, and have since gotten over it with therapy and other help, how is your life at this point and time? Do you still suffer from your trauma? Is it easier than it's been?

Before now it wasn't easy for me to deal with my little childhood trauma but I know that life must go on. I have left all of that behind me. I'm not longer in that toxic space

I was highly traumatised when we lost our home of many years to flood. The foundation of the house was shaky and there was imminent collapse of it because of yearly floods that sank into the foundations. For years, we moved from one relative's house to another. It was real traumatic for me. It affected my academics but I had to develop mental strength and overcome it.

I am currently suffering from trauma. I am unemployed and my relationship with my family members is being affected in a really bad manner. Being unemployed and having no money affects your relationship in a really bad manner.

I dealt with bullying off and on during my days in school, and even sometimes outside of school. This led to trauma, as I felt people were out to get me and do harm to me, which caused much anxiety. I'm 35 now, and I think the bullying I've dealt with in my life still has somewhat of a psychological effect on me, where it makes me put worst-case scenarios in my head regarding humans and makes it hard to trust people enough to build friendships and relationships.

My life is going decently at this time, where I'm not overthinking so much, and I can be around most human beings without feeling anxiety or paranoia.
