Googley, I am so proud of you. When I started to read your post, I saw another Googley. It was you.
Go slow. I have fallen into this place, too. It was an accident. But now that I'm here, I know it's the place I'm supposed to be. There was a trauma a long time ago and I'm only now learning what it meant. What it did. What it means.
I tried to go too fast and my PTSD flaired up. That's a four letter word, too, you know. But by recognizing it and then paying attention, I learned some important things.
Hang in there and take it slowly. We are here.
