For those who have been abused/gone through trauma, how did you personally cope?

I color, embroider, bike, basically anything to distract myself. I play a lot of games and I read too :)

I am asking because I just had a really bad nightmare the other night, and it just bugged me a lot. Sometimes I feel like I am taking steps back. I don’t know. I have a lot of things I do to cope just curious.

Alternative question:

Did you ever felt like you “got passed it” or “moved on” or “got over it”?
