Is it normal I spend my 20s recovering from childhood trauma?
Post Body

During my entire childhood, I was subjected to physical, emotional and psychological abuse. I also endured racial trauma and sexual violence. I left those toxic environments at 19 years old only to find myself in another environment that was not good for me, which I left at 22. I’m 26 now, and it feels like all I’ve been doing so far is recovering from the effects of my terrible childhood. I am in a good relationship, have a career (I can’t seem to save though because of severe depression), built a supportive community of chosen family, have fun hobbies, but I am still constantly triggered and extremely depressed. Yes, I’ve been in therapy for most of this time. Is this normal?
