you say, “I’m Fine…” But Are You Really? Unmasking the Silent Struggles of Millennial Women of Color
Hey, sis. When people hear the word “trauma,” they often picture those big, explosive moments—things that are obvious and leave visible scars. But trauma can be subtle too, weaving its way into your daily routine in ways you might not even recognize. And just so we’re clear: your trauma is valid, even if it’s not something the world can easily see—or even something you fully acknowledge yet.
Could This Be You?
- You’re the 'strong one' in your friend group—the dependable rock everyone leans on. But deep down, you’re tired, and let’s be real, you don’t always feel that strong. Holding it all together for everyone else is leaving you drained.
- You find yourself avoiding certain places, people, or conversations because they bring back memories or feelings you’d rather leave buried. The triggers are real, and you’re constantly walking on eggshells trying to avoid them.
- You’re “fine”—except you’re not. You’ve worn your mask for so long that even you’ve started to believe the performance. But behind the scenes, you’re struggling.
- Your emotions are like a rollercoaster, and you’re not sure when the next dip is coming. Mood swings, sudden irritability, or deep sadness hit you without warning, and you can’t always explain why.
- You’ve become a master at people-pleasing, molding yourself to fit everyone else’s needs to the point that you’re not even sure what *you* enjoy anymore.
- You’re exhausted—mentally, physically, and emotionally—because you’re stuck in survival mode, waiting for the next bad thing to happen.
Sound Familiar?
Let’s be real: You don’t have to carry all this weight alone. It’s time to let some of it go.
