Ще одна моя волонтерська діяльність - щомісяця я пишу щось помічне для української спільноти, для вимушено переміщених в Британію украінців, серед яких і я з моїми доньками.

MENTAL HEALTH
🇺🇦 You’ve found safety in the UK, your life has stabilised… but where is the joy?
Even after escaping danger, many feel empty and numb. This is a normal reaction after long-term stress or trauma.
💭 Why does this happen?
When we’re in survival mode, our brain focuses on getting through the day. Once stability returns, we suddenly feel the weight of everything we’ve experienced. Old sources of joy are gone, and new ones haven’t formed yet.
💔 Survivor’s guilt:
“How can I feel joy when others suffer?” But your pain doesn’t help others. Your healing does.
✅ What helps:
🔹 Allow space for grief—but also for small joys
🔹 Rebuild purpose in little things
🔹 Connect with others
🔹 Combine your past identity with your new life in the UK
🔹 Seek help if you feel stuck—there’s free support via the NHS
💙 Joy after trauma is not betrayal. It’s strength. You deserve peace and happiness.
