“If arguing ever felt unsafe growing up… your body learned to freeze.
Not because you don’t care — but because conflict meant danger.
Your nervous system remembers what your mind tries to forget.”

“High-functioning depression is still depression.
Just because you can move doesn’t mean you’re not hurting.”

Depression is not always visible.
Sometimes it’s hidden in responsibility, perfectionism, and pretending you’re fine.
If this is you:
You don’t have to carry it alone.
You deserve support too.

🌪️ Ever heard of the "4 F's" of trauma responses? Let's break it down! 💥

1. **Fight** 🥊: This is your inner warrior, ready to take on any threat! Feeling feisty when things get tough? That's the fight response kicking in!

2. **Flight** 🏃‍♂️: This one's all about survival! When danger lurks, your body tells you to run! Can you relate to wanting to escape a situation you can't handle?

3. **Freeze** ❄️: Sometimes we just go still, like a deer in headlights. When faced with a threat, our brains can short-circuit. It's totally normal, but feeling stuck can be tough!

4. **Fawn** 🤝: Ever tried to please someone to avoid conflict? That’s the fawn response—your body’s way of trying to smooth things over, even if it means suppressing your own needs.

Understanding these responses can help us navigate our emotions and reactions better! 💖✨ Share your thoughts below and let’s support each other in this journey of healing!
