Note: This post is out of order. I had hand written it originally. Dear Me, Recently, I have questioned how come I do not go to a shelter. Really questioned it. Any doubt I had was removed when two days ago my therapist noted, the past 3 to 4 sessions, I mentioned my decision notContinue reading “December 6, 2020”

Someone is actively and consciously choosing to protect us
For the first time in three years, I feel believed by a person outside of my treatment team. That is amazing and validating. It may seem ridiculous to you. It used to me also. Yet it is real and for once, I see other people seeing and believing what even the courts and law continueContinue reading “Someone is actively and consciously choosing to protect us”
A Transforming Season
Please be mindful, this site comes with Trigger Warnings throughout it. July 2020 through November 2020 taught me more than I could have imagined. I saw and felt pain in multiple ways. Pain was unrealistic, unreasonable, unresolved, nonresponsive, denied, misplaced, lied about, ignored, explosive, solitary, isolating, confusing, humiliating and more. So many times, alcoholism wasContinue reading “A Transforming Season”

Perhaps two and three as well. Other reasons: values changing, expectations alter, we grow up and steadfast or we demandContinue reading “Student Loan Crisis and Me”
Feelings of …
Shame. Embarrassment. Humiliation. Yes, these ugly and uncomfortable emotions. I have twenty-five plus years living with these emotions or feelings. They suck! Truly, I mean that. I personally have lived with these feelings for decades. It is odd to be aware of them yet not Consumed by them. Where I have been consumed is inContinue reading “Feelings of …”
November 2020
The month was interesting, enlightening and, I daresay, informative. I could not have expected it. Our treatment team did. They pointed it out as one of our strengths. An odd one, if I may say. The first posts will briefly summarize the transformative season I, in particular, had, before this month. This information will helpContinue reading “November 2020”
Where next?
This is a constant question we have! For a few reasons. We are homeless and have been since April 29, 2019. Still. We have been enduring abuse and trauma since the summer of 2017. Stalker. We are in a global pandemic where social distancing and wearing a face mask are too much for some peopleContinue reading “Where next?”

Our introduction
Helping ourselves is nowhere near as easy it may seem to others. For a variety of reasons! Let me explain with what I have recently learned was, for myself, at least, the KEY component to being able to describe how I can NOW help myself better than I have in years. Cognitive functioning impairments andContinue reading “Our introduction”
