Don't Dissociate

Fight symptoms and don't let your guard down. Because pain is always there. Psychotic symptoms still happen at times. But we know that we're not psychotic or a danger to anybody. Protect yourself and remember, you can't save the world all by yourself. Your well being comes first. Then try to do something. Protect yourself.

Protect Yourself

Here in the US, many rich and powerful people continue to abuse trauma survivors why tell the truth. Maybe the number one question should be, why would anyone who's survived horrible trauma lie? Instead, one way to protect yourself as you tell your truth is to say I'm not responsible for the horrible things that others say and do. Because you're not. they have to live with the consequences of their words and actions. Nobody else. Protect yourself.

Sorry to Be Away

Sorry to be away for a few days. But we finally got thru lots of doctor appointments and tests. My cardiologist is still recommending serious heart surgery. Also coming soon? A colonoscopy to see if I have any type of cancer. There is a history of cancer in the "immediate" family (whatever that means). On top of that, severe adrenal burnout is a daily battle, along with the other symptoms. I literally can't remember the last time I got  a good night's sleep. Every day you feel like you're getting assaulted with pain. We do our daily mindfulness practice. But it never goes away. You just want to feel safe in your own home. You have to protect yourself. Set boundaries as best you can. Are Christine Ford and the other women accusing Judge Kavanaugh of sexual assault telling the truth? Yes they are.

Don't Let Your Guard Down

We thought maybe we'd get a break and start getting more sleep at night. No chance of that. Nightmares are back. You have to fight your way out of it to survive. Pain is always there. Anal pain. It's not real. Nobody's penis is in your anus unprotected. There's nothing there. There's nothing there. It never goes away. You have to always keep your guard up. If you let it down, you can fall apart. Other horrible people can't be controlled. But you can set boundaries to protect yourself. The pain never goes away. Protect yourself.

Screen Everything

Here in the States, the ridiculous treatment of attempted rape survivor Christine Ford continues. She's getting death threats and abuse online. All for trying to do the responsible thing and report an attempted crime. Rape is a crime. Attempted rape is a crime What do you do when it feels like the powerful everywhere are saying that rape is okay? No healthy normal guy turns down free sex. All guys have a natural need to fuck. If a woman says no, beat the shit out of her and then rape her. Because she's lying when she says she hates it. And other ridiculous garbage. Protect yourself.

More Pain Today

Pain is spreading now in my back and along my spine. Is it just trauma pain, or something else? I'm not sure. But you do your best to try and protect your well being. Stay safe.

Don't Let Your Guard Down

Pain and burnout are always there. But you do your best to try and cope. Triggering stuff is everywhere. You can't take on the pain of the world and your pain all at once. It's not your fault. You did nothing wrong. You're not a danger to anybody. You're not strange in any way. The severity of your trauma symptoms is equal to the severity of your trauma history. Protect yourself.

Pain Is Flooding Out

Everyone has their own trauma history and things that they struggle with. There's no one cure fits all cases. But at a certain point, your pain floods out. You can't let your guard down. If you do for a split second, it's too much. Some sadly kill themselves. Have we thought about offing ourselves? Yes. But we'd never do that. Psychologically it's important to admit that those thoughts are there. You have to fight back. We used to have lots of destructive things to hide behind. No, not any more. So it only makes sense that at times you feel paralyzed. You feel abandoned. Nobody listened or asked the right things. Lots of people say and do horrible things. But you don't want to turn into a burned out angry survivor. Despite that, you have every right to your anger, despair and pain. Protect yourself.

Don't Let Your Guard Down

Stay safe to everyone in Hurricane Florence's path. Triggering stuff is everywhere. Protect yourself as best you can. One sad thing that happens to many trauma survivors. One minute they're relatively stable. Then something happens that causes them to drop their guard. The pain is too much and they kill themselves. Would that ever happen to us? No. But you can't let your guard down. By the end of the day you're totally wiped out. But what choice do you have? Stay well.

Say Safe

How's your part of the world? Greetings to our audience in the path of Hurricane Florence. Protect yourself. Also, it's not your fault. The trauma pain never goes away. But it's not your fault. You do the best you can. Because the surest way to make your trauma pain worse is to hide behind denial. Stay safe.

Cover Your Bases

Another triggering day. Screen everything and protect yourself as best you can. We can't take on our pain and the pain of the world all at the same time. An uncle is now dying of cancer. There's nothing more that can be done. Now he wants to spend his remaining time at home with his family. While I'm sorry this is happening to him, I'm keeping a barrier. A barrier in the sense that I have my own pain to deal with. My well being comes first. Protect yourself.

Triggering Stuff Is Everywhere

Screen everything and protect your well being. Why? Because you have to. It's like triggering stuff is everywhere. Also, if you're well being isn't together, you can't be effective to help others. Stay safe.

Keep Your Guard Up

A long day of fighting to not let your guard down and fall apart. The pain never goes away. But also, you're not responsible for the horrible things that others say and do. You live with the consequences of your actions. Protect your well being.

Pain Is Too Much

The pain never goes away. But you do your best to protect your well being and not let your guard down. You don't want to be terrified and not know where you are. You have no control over the horrible things that others say and do. Protect yourself.

Fighting to Not Fall Apart

No sleep. Constant exhaustion. Body pain and other types are always there. Don't let your p/h get totally out of balance. That only makes dissociating way worse. You have to protect yourself. Triggering stuff is everywhere. You're not responsible for the horrible things that others say and do. They have to deal with the consequences. Not us. It's not our fault. We did nothing wrong. We're not a danger to anybody. Pain never goes away. Protect your well being.

Don't Dissociate

Trying to not let our guard down so we fall apart. Pain is still there. Psychotic episodes still happen. But despite all of that, we're not crazy or a danger to anyone. Protect yourself.

Lots of Addictions

Facing a scary fact today. Since we got raped by the three psycho pedophiles, this is the first time I've had more than six months without a dissociative relapse. We've seen and had lots of terrifying stuff happen to us. But we're not permanently damaged. You do the best you can to not put yourself in a dangerous position where you might hurt yourself or somebody else. You have to do the responsible thing.

Don't Dissociate (In English and German)

Struggling all day to not dissociate and black out. No sleep last night and now constant exhaustion. But you do your best to protect your well being. Stay safe.

Den ganzen Tag kämpfen, um nicht dissoziieren und verdunkeln. Kein Schlaf letzte Nacht und jetzt ständige Erschöpfung. Aber Sie tun Ihr Bestes, um Ihr Wohlbefinden zu schützen. Bleib sicher.
