Ignorance is bliss...for a little while.

So, while reading the blog of a friend of mine I had the thought, "Hey, I should start a blog. I have interesting thoughts I never vocalize." Then I realized that I have an lj that I'm sure hardly anyone reads, but I thought it might be a good place to get some bad shit out

Comments

and two weeks later, i really wanted to say

thank you for putting your words and strength out into the public eye. Because so many people struggle alone through the same things feeling crazy and terrified, I was grateful to get a glimpse into your process of coping and not coping but always surviving.

I used to feel like whenever I needed to say something about my experiences and my fears I invalidated myself because I never wanted to make people feel uncomfortable and other people have been through worse and done better what right do I have to my insecurities or pain. And than I realized that it's not about comparing war wounds it's about trying to heal.

Reading your story felt like a permission slip to explore my own journey of recovery. You have a lot of courage and you've waited long enough to find a community of support, I wish you the best of luck.

I read this zine that was like a small breath of fresh air in a storm of anxiety a while ago and passed it along to a one in three survivor. But here's a link of where to get it:

sorry that's not a warm hug and a care-package over tea and cookies. I had my phone stolen and lost your number with it, but here's mine if you ever wanted to talk or get together. 916 317 8125

Take care sweetie,Brooke
