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

Do you think the placement will be helpful for your MH @creative_writer ? I always find things improve for me when I'm out and about. Sometimes too much of my own company is a bad thing.. too much time to think ya know?

I hear you @creative_writer it's a long journey and sometimes hard to support others in this space when we are battling with stuff ourselves.

Glad you've been able to focus on your uni readings. Learn anything interesting?
