this is so real. dresses looked alright on me and then i became much closer to a bear and it's. less good.

have you read a book called "the body keeps the score"? it talks a lot about PTSD/CPTSD, the causes, and, most relevantly, the treatments. if you want to stick to therapy, i would suggest EMDR, it seems to have better outcomes for people dealing with trauma. for stuff you can do today, i would practice 4-7-8 breathing and yoga. down the line, i would recommend looking into neurofeedback. it helped me a ton. but i think breathing + yoga are sort of the slow, manual path that neurofeedback takes you down, and are worthwhile in their own respect
good luck in your journey, i hope you find this helpful. one day, may trauma be as easy to treat as any other condition humans can be afflicted with

you also don't really talk like someone who has twenty years of organizing experience. there are methodologies to this, one can be trained in these ways if one really wants to be
also, how exactly do you expect to survive the MAGApocalypse without community? who do you expect to turn to in times of crisis if not the people around you? or are you just going to isolate yourself from society and go off the grid? do you think people make it through these sorts of crises alone?
if you are tired of society being built on a foundation of fear, you can begin your journey to building collective power and hope with this page and this site, it's an excellent resource: https://www.labornotes.org/sites/default/files/22AnOrganizingConversation_0.pdf
finally, reminder that ayn rand ended her life benefiting from the same systems she had decried: social security and medicare
