Running

Awww @avant-garde

Thank you for sharing. I didn't realise it was that far back. It sounds so so hard. I can see why this is such a difficult time for you.

I am glad you have the courage to speak up and let the pastor know.

I'm sorry about what has happened.

Thinking about you today @avant-garde

Hope the service is okay.

@tyme

I ran away

They had pumpkins on the pulpit

I told Azariah that they were triggering

He just said to go talk to the person who put them there

Pumpkins > Halloween > rituals

In a church context > far too familiar

I asked for his help! And as usual he proves worse than useless!

Umm... why pumpkins on the pulpit?? @avant-garde

Sorry to hear it was triggering.

Arghh...it makes me think, "Don't expect anything from anyone and you'll never be disappointed"

@tyme

I don't know and I don't care.

Well at least a bunch of people saw me leave, they can't say I didn't try, even our pastor saw me.

Why do you think I have him saved on WhatsApp as "don't reach out to him or will only hurt you"

I'll message Rapunzel's husband to let her know, she's as careful with her number as I am with mine.

So sorry that happened today @avant-garde

Hope you can be kind to yourself. Do you think you'll go back this evening?

I'm here if you need company

@tyme

I reached out to people I trust and they removed them.

It's thanksgiving Sunday, that's why the pumpkins were there.

I'll go to church this evening and let my church support me.

I'll also avoid Azariah

I'm right about him, his title as "mental health guy" doesn't make him any more competent or any less of a privileged idiot

As hard as it is, it sounds like there are those who care @avant-garde

Take it easy as you go there tonight.

I'll be with you in spirit. And if you have to stay away from Azariah, so be it.
