It’s me again for my yearly update, I’m alive! Happy pride!!!
As many of you know I am a survivor of child trafficking and S/A.
But as an adult after being tortured and S/A’d twice at my workplace, I developed severe depression, crippling anxiety, and long lasting ptsd. As any normal person would develop afree undergoing the circumstances I went through.
This year after a move to a brand new city where I knew no one to start over, re-starting college, and learning to live as an newly disabled person with my ptsd is where I have been. I appreciate all of your kind words as you’ve been so patient in my hiatus as I get to know the new man I’ve become post trauma and how to carry forward in my disability.
I’ve reached a new chapter in the story, possibly the beginning of the epilogue. I am safe. I remarried and have a husband who is calm, patient, and gives me the sweetest love and the entire world. I am currently on the waiting list for a service dog to hopefully improve my quality of life. I’m in intensive therapy, learning to meet myself where I am at and carry forward for myself, my partner, and our future children. While mental illness has taken my passion in doing all of my favorite things such as writing I’m slowly coming back to it. Although don’t expect much this year pls. :) thank you guys for your ongoing support, comments, and arguments. Love you all
