Hey, Im sorry you got sick, I hope youre feeling better.
Today has been tough already, I was up most of the night from nightmares and my neighbors being obnoxious.
This week hasnt been too enjoyable, I had to get a new bathing suit and it shows my legs and my stomach. I have a few scars from self harm and Im terrified someone will see them. Im not really in the mood to do anything today- thats kinda off topic, Im just rambling now.
Oh- on a happier topic I painted my nails a few days ago, and my hair is growing out longer than I usually let it so maybe Ill let it grow out.
Hey there @plumApricot8108 *offering safe hugs*
It is really nice to hear from you around here!
Oww, I am sorry to hear that you have had such a tough night. I do hope that you will be able to catch up with some sleep today tho :)
Wearing swimming suits can be sure tricky like that. I know it can be a really hard thing to "show" those scars to the world but I believe that those show strength and the bravery that has got you through those battles. I know this may not make this easier for you but I am proud of you for being so strong :)
Oh, that sounds exciting. What colour have you painted your nails? Also, do you have any plans to do with your hair or you just let it grow for now? :)
Stay awesome!
Hello Red. Im glad youre feeling better this weekend. I love the penguin hug GIF! So adorable.
I am in pain right now. I dont really have the words to describe it. Theres been some crazy and somewhat confusing things going on in life lately. However, as a whole, I am feeling better in general. Struggling a bit now. I want to talk about it but I guess Im not ready to yet. Maybe later. I appreciate knowing that youre there to listen and that you care. That helps. Just looking for some validation for me as a person perhaps? I dont know. Sorry. I wish I could figure all this stuff out on my own, but turns out I cant. Bummer.
Hey there @pioneeringBanana1598 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
Thank you! I am glad that you like that gif and, also, I am glad to be back ^-^
You know you are figuring things out. You have already figured so many things out and you are in the process of figuring even more out. I have seen you grow so much since you have come here and you still grow each and every week. I know that it can be really slow at times and painful as well but you are making such an amazing progression and I want you to know that I am proud of you :)
Of course, there is absolutely no pressure on you, just one step at a time and you can take your time, we are in no hurry. We are always here for you and together we can get through this and I know that you will be able to just keep growing, after all, you have already showed how strong and brave you are and you are not alone in this :)
Stay strong and awesome!
@redmark Hello. I'm new here, so sorry if this sounds strange or this is wrong. Honestly, i'm only just starting to admit the trauma that has happened to me and i'm experiencing. Most of the time, i've tried to push it away but it only gets worse. I've never spoken about my home life much, even the countless Therapy sessions I went to didn't get to the bottom of why I suffer the way I do, that's because I've been burying it down too long. Today was the first time I spoke about the things that have happened within my family, i hate speaking about it because it makes it real but I've realised no matter how old I grow, things will never change. I wish there was a way to make things better, or a magic wand to turn things back to how it was when I was 5. But instead I have a mixture of anxiety, depression and an eating disorder as a result of what i've experienced. Today isn't the best day. Yesterday was a rough night, and i'm just trying to get through the day whilst opening up a little more to individuals. I hope you are doing okay.
Hey there @myparalleluniverse *offering safe hugs*
Welcome here! We are really glad to have you here with us!
I am sorry to hear that you have had to go through such things. I know it can be really, really hard to admit it to yourself and just try to get in terms with it. I mean, I can only imagine how hard it might be for you right now but I want you to know that I am really proud of you for being so strong and brave and deciding to face it :)
Of course, you are not alone in this. We are always here for you to support you and to listen if there might be anything you would like to share. Together we can get through this. I believe in it and I do believe in you :)
No pressure tho, things like this take time and it is okay to take as much time as you may need but we are and will be here for you if there is anything we may be able to help you with, you are not alone in this :)
Stay strong and awesome!

This week I discovered something that I think is related to my trauma. It's something that I can deal with but it does make my job a little bit more challenging at times. I think I'll talk with my therapist about it when I see her.
Today I also went to my 10 year high school reunion. I didn't recognize half of the people there. I took my puppy though she was a good buffer and helped with my social anxiety.
I've been struggling a lot with feeling a sense of belonging also I think has to do with my trauma history making me feel so alienated from the rest of the world.
Hey there @InvaderStitch *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
Oh...it does really sound like a good topic to bring to your next session with your therapist. Recongizing and learning your triggers and finding better ways to deal with them is such an importnat thing and I do hope that you will be able to work through this one with your therapist :)
10 year reunion sounds really exciting-but-anxious for sure. I am glat to hear that it has went well for you and I can imagine that having your puppy there with your have been a gread help. I mean, dogs are just awesome :)
I know it can be really hard sometimes to have that feeling of belonging somewhere but I do want you to know that we are always glad to hear from you around here and we are just glad to have you here with us and we are here for you if there is anything we may be able to help you with. You are not alone in this :)
Stay awesome!
How are you feeling today? Stuck in a muddy depression. . . I feel like deflated balloon stuck inside of a dried up puddle in the middle of cracked sidewalk that now is smeared with a wad of stale gum.
Exhausted inspite of sleeping at least 7 hours every night, Depressed, drain and my anxiety is on high.
How has this week been for you? It's the week from rejection hell. The demons are laughing at me for even just trying. I got rejected by two therapists and an online job. I didn't won this raffle I was really hoping for to be on a game show. I have no money, I have no place called home and I feel useless to my family. I'm worried that my old neighbor gave my mom pnemunia.
Do you have anything you would like to share about it? Please, please, please send positive vibes and prayers. I still have NOT found a place for my family and I.
Hey there @Rebekahwriter13 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am really sorry to hear that you are having such a though time. I know that it can be really draining and just hard to deal with depression like that especially after such a hard week.
I know that it can be really disheartening to get rejected by therapists and not getting a job that you have applied to but I want you to know that I do believe in you. I know that you are very strong and, I might be naive, but I believe that things can get better and I do hope that you will be able to find a therapist and a job soon! :)
Also, I do hope that your mother will get better soon too. :)
Of course, you are not alone here, we are all here for you and we are sending all the support and prayers that we can your way and if there is anything we might be able to help you with we are always here for you! :)
Stay strong and awesome!
@Rebekahwriter13 Sending you lots and lots of positive vibes and best wishes for you and your family. I hope you find somewhere soon.
@Kate thank you so much *****hugs*****
