I know what you’re experiencing right now feels like the end of the world, and you have every right to feel that way. But I promise you in a blink you will be looking back and it will all feel so very small.

#if this doesn’t feel helpful to you it’s ok to reject the sentiment and move along! I know this isn’t what everyone may need to hear #ed recovery #mental health #suggestions #self love #anxiety #depression #anxiety attack #panic attack #panic disorder #crisis #loss #grief #traumasurvivors #breakups #friend breakups

Truce

I want to apologize for how I acted. I truly am dealing with a lot of stuff and that affected how I acted. I am an adult and I acted very immaturely and inappropriately.

I plan on working on this in my PHP/IOP program. And I'm sorry that the way I acted did not facilitate anyone to come forward to me personally. I truly do apologize to anyone I hurt and I have taken down my posts criticizing and attacking you.

The best minds in mental health aren't the docs. They're the trauma survivors who have had to figure out how to stay alive for years with virtually no help.

Biden Honors Victims, Thanks Frontline Responders in Maine

  Exact Transcript of the Speech delivered by President Biden in Maine

THE PRESIDENT: Governor Mills, Mr. Mayor, Senator Collins, Senator King, and Charlene Pingree — look, he couldn’t be here, but I also want to acknowledge Representative Jared Golden — and to all the people of Maine: We’ve done — Jill and I have done too many of these. Jill and I are here, though, on behalf of the American people to grieve with you and to make sure you know that you’re not alone. We just visited a memorial at the restaurant, and we’re here at the bowling alley where we met with the first responders standing behind me. You know, we’ll never forget the trauma they experienced. And as I said, I can’t express how much we appreciate what you did. And also, the members from the — the nurses and docs in the hospital who took care of these folks — I don’t know how — how they do it. We’re also be meeting with survivors and families of the victims who have — will never quite be the same. No pain is the same. But we know what it’s like to lose a piece of our soul and the depths of a loss is so profound. Some of us have been there. Eighteen precious souls stolen. Thirteen wounded. Children, grandchildren, spouses, siblings, parents, grandparents, bowling coaches, union workers, beloved members of advocates and friends of Lewiston’s deaf and hard-of-hearing community. All of them lived lives of love and service and sacrifice. We also remember the survivors who will forever carry the memories and the physical and emotional scars of this. They should be embraced. And I know you will, and I know you do. You know, as we mourn today in Maine, this tragedy opens a painful — painful wounds all across the country. Too many Americans have lost loved ones or survived the trauma of gun violence. I know because Jill and I have met with them in Buffalo, in Uvalde, in Monterey Park, in Sandy Hook, in all — anyway, too many to count — too many to count — from places that never make the news all across America. It’s about bringing people together, different voices and perspectives, for an honest conversation on what’s to be a long road to recovery. You know — and I’ve been at this a long time, and I know consensus is ultimately possible. This is about commonsense, reasonable, and responsible measures to protect our children, our families, and our communities. Because regardless of our politics, this is about protecting our freedom to go to a bowling alley, a restaurant, a school, a church without being shot and killed. Let me close with this. Scripture says, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” “And saves the crushed in spirit.” Our prayer is that the crushed in spirit survive this more rapidly than otherwise. You know, as we gather here today, we know your hearts are broken because — but we also know your spirits are strong. The way this community has come together, the way this state has come together has been a marvel to the rest of the country. So, God bless those we lost and those that were wounded. And may God bless the first responders, as well as the nurses. I told the nurses, docs, if there’s any angels in Heaven, male and female nurses are the ones that are in Heaven. Docs let you live; nurses wa- — make you want to live. For a guy that spent a lot of time in ICU. So, thank you, thank you, thank you.   Sources: THX News & The White House. Read the full article

In my life I have been blessed with many friends and only a few enemies or ‘Frenemies’, but because of my own trauma response it took me a long time to make peace with those people and to understand that their issues were not my issues and no amount of their toxicity and manipulation could break my new boundaries and that; that was okay. Not only that; that was okay but that it was healthy. That little girl trauma voice kept second guessing for a long time, kept apologizing, kept trying to make repairs, and those really good manipulators and narcissists can dig in and make it hard to believe in yourself. So if you find that you understand what I’m talking about, stand tall. Be proud of your journey and keep on working on being the person that does not manipulate others, that really listens, that holds space for others, that accepts appropriate responsibility, that loves and loves themselves. #traumasurvivors #therapyworks #naturetherapy #emdrtherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cncm6aevKGb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Support

What’s something challenging, stressful or just on your mind where you could use some support? (If there’s genuinely nothing, the next questions might still be useful to plan for the future.)

Where could you get that support? (Some examples being online support groups, friends, therapist, partner, etc).

What kind of support do you need?

How could you ask for that support?

Remember it’s okay to ask for support. People tend to like to know how to support you so being specific is helpful. So think about what you need. Do you need distractions? Advice? Company? Someone to listen?

Is there an alternative of where you can get support if the person you ask is unable to?

I got caught up in thinking I was so unique that no one else could understand my journey. Then I began to listen to others in groups and meetings and came to understand we are all walking the same path. I wish you light on the journey!

I Truly Don't Believe People Understand Where I'm Coming From

Like, I often get punished just for trying to be healthy, but healthier people than me hate me.

So let me be clear

-My brother sexually assaulted me when I was a toddler. I dealt with it on my own until high school. CPS did nothing

-I don't trust anyone easily, but I will give it an honest try.

-My Uncle Scott physically assaulted me (again, when I was a toddler). My parents saw and didn't take me to the hospital or call the police.

-My ex sexually assaulted me, raped me, physically assaulted me, financially abused me, emotionally abused me, and mentally abused me

-My parents again, did nothing and instead blamed me for the abuse

-I don't speak to anyone now.

-I don't have a job nor can I study right now.

-I'm in a PHP/IOP program that I absolutely detest. I am surrounded by triggers, but I don't expect any accommodations for it.

And ya'll wonder why I'm so pissed at someone who has a space "for trauma survivors???"
