Healing can have some negative tension to it, in general it is thought of as the act of becoming healthy again. Individuals who have experienced trauma might not associate your physical issues with your trauma experience.  The other issue is that there might be a fear of vulnerability. 

There are five warning signs of stress; less interest in hobbies, familiar or fun activities, upset by the unexpected, sudden shifts in mood, frequent or recurring nightmares, vague feelings or uneasiness, restlessness, feelings of being swamped or overwhelmed, feelings of anger or resentment.  Use these as your guide, if you are constantly overwhelmed or angry start making changes.

Don’t self-diagnose, seek professional help in establishing some needed changes in your life.  Don’t think you have to make the changes alone, you may feel isolated, but you are not reach out and connect to a professional. Why? They are trained on helping and they, by law, will keep things confidential.
