Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

Heya my dear @creative_writer
I'm listening. Hope you are okay.
I know you said you don't celebrate christmas, but because it's a public holiday, do you have anything planned?

I'm glad you are watching tv as a distraction. @creative_writer At least it's better than twiddling your thumbs.
I wish I could take away your pain and hurt.
Hugs
