We live in a fast-paced world where staying busy is king and slowing down feels like a pipe dream. It is an exhausting way to live for anyone but can be especially difficult for those suffering from the emotional complications of trauma. When your mind is stuck in a revolving cycle of emotions, you may find yourself struggling to keep up with everyday life. There are typically two camps people fall into when trying to navigate the daily stresses of life under the umbrella of trauma: They either grit their teeth and power through, never slowing down and staying as busy as possible (often culminating in anxiety), or they find themselves struggling to keep up with the simplest of tasks, aimless and overwhelmed (presenting in depression).
