Part of my job is to make displays and I decided to make a display for Mental Health Month.
One of the days that I documented was Blue Knot Day, supporting survivors of childhood trauma and I then spent the next half hour struggling not to dissociate and trying to finish my work and make it to my lunch break. I hate that I can be set off so easily and I feel so trapped by my illness/trauma. __________________ “There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever.

Do not try to medicate me. I am not on medication for a very good reason. 2. I don't do hugs. 3. If I ask for help, it is because I am at the breaking point, otherwise I have a bad habit of keeping quiet. Please do not brush me off. |

So it was emotional for you to put up such a display, but you did it. What you did is so beautiful. You released some of your pain and reached out to others with similar issues through the display.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
