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 trauma. I feel like I will never escape it.

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. |

Dealing with making a bulletin board on that topic would be very triggering. Please don't be rough on yourself for getting emotional/dissociative about it. You are protecting yourself from the pain. Okay?
