A Reminder

Just need a reminder that I am not alone. 

Nothing more.

Nope, you aren't alone. We're here!

Don't even know you Dan. Really.  But I know you honor my struggle.  Your response brought me to tears.  No shame in that right?  Thank you.   I am moving forward, but it is HARD.

The tears make perfect sense, MyMaras. So many of us have felt that sense of aloneness, that to not feel it for a while can be a source of tears. No shame in those tears!

Good for you to be moving forward! Best thing that ever happened to me was when a therapist said "Dan, it's going to feel shitty for a while." It's like he validated where I was, and I bless him for it. Yes, it is really tough!

Thanks Dan. Your words...good stuff.

You're welcome, MyMaras!

You are definitely NOT alone!!!  <3

[Hidden in reply to AnyaC]

Sometimes we forget. Thanks 

[AnyaC in reply to Hidden]

We all need a reminder once in a while!  It's lonely dealing with this stuff, with very few people understanding.  That's why we're here!

Hi...hear you

[Lizbett]

Hello MM. I hear what you're saying and to some degree, feeling.  NO, you are absolutely not  ... alone.  Cry if you want to ... when you need to but, for now, close your eyes and embed the words: "I am not alone" in your mind's eye. 

Choose a font type and size for those words  ... perhaps colour them in a colour of choice. Something that is warm. Inviting.  Safe.  Next, perhaps sprinkle some shimmering gold dust on or around those words ... or even some tiny twinkling fairy lights that will help to remind you that no, you're not alone ... every time you close your eyes. When you need to. When you want to

We're here with you. In spirit. 🌹

[Hidden in reply to Lizbett]

Thank you... I wish "in spirit" was more tangible sometimes.

[Lizbett in reply to Hidden]

Yes. Me too.

[Hidden]

We are here. We get it.

[BearTree]

We're all in this together. No one with PTSD and its horrible symptoms is alone here.

[Murrday]

From all around the world, we are here with you.

MyMaras, you certainly are not alone, there are lots of us out here--unfortunately. But we can always help and support each other by sharing our feelings and experiences.
