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

So glad to hear you are feeling a little better @creative_writer but I suspect that little better is a far sight from okay. Just had a shower myself and feeling much more human. Around for a while if you want some company ❤️

I am so glad that you're feeling a bit better @creative_writer
Do you think it would be a good idea to have a nap if you're feeling sleepy this afternoon?
A shower sounds like a really good idea.
Be kind to yourself today, you're doing so well
