When you're in the throes of a trauma (which is as long as it continues to be unresolved) you're not likely to see every circumstance or event in your life 100% clearly to be able to decide how to resolve the problem. Guidance can be very helpful in overcoming the ill effects of trauma. I, personally, have been very greatly helped by a book called Feeling Buried Alive Never Die. There's a simple emotional release technique in the book that just takes a few minutes a day. I'm sure it would help you through your troublesome time.

The thing that has helped me the most is to remember that you are here for a purpose and you can't let bad things stop you from living. Everything can seem overwhelming when it is happening right now , but in a few months , you will look back and see that life goes on and the pain and trauma will get better. Try to remember something that was a major emotional setback in your past. Chances are, you will not think of it in the same degree of hopelessness you did back then. Try and be focused on the positive things in your life. Make a list of things and people you are thankful for. It really works. And when the feelings of the traumatic things try to return, go back and read your list , thinking of a specific happy time or joyful holiday. Remember that you control your thoughts, they don't control you. If your trauma is the death of a loved one , let yourself grieve. That is a natural emotion. If it causes you to not carry out your everyday routine and be closed off to people close to you, then it may lead to depression. So, try to lean on your friends and family and remember that God is only a prayer away.

Talk about it. Verbalising thoughts and feelings sometimes allows the mind to cope with the situation. Be it with friends or a councellor talking is the best way to overcome trauma.

the question shoudln't be how, but if. If you can, then you're lucky and don't need any extra solution. If you can't, you'll need help. From your surrounding - family, friends, partner but if are traumas too extensive and cause severe mental problems impacting your daily life for longer period of time - you'll also need councelling / psychiatric help. Some theraphy or medication may be indicated.

I would suggest allowing yourself time to heal, going to counseling to help deal with the strong emotions and journaling to help sort out your thoughts and feelings. Good Luck and Stay Strong.

The best cure is "time" and sometimes it's the only cure. Just go about your routines to let the time pass.

I pray, talk to a trusted friend & meditate. I am also bipolar so I have additional issues of course.
