How well I understand the triggers from childhood trauma. My story is very different than yours, but the visceral reactions are the same.

It is good that we are exorcising our demons through writing. Spilling our guts on paper and liberating our souls in the process.

I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself today. Because of my PTSD, I still struggle with self care, though my husband is an angel and the biggest support I could wish for.

Thank you for your honesty. It gives me and others permission to be honest and authentic, as well. And these days, that is pretty much all I’m interested in engaging in.
