I'm a little late, as today is the last day of   Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month   but I thought this was a good reminder for any day, any week or any month of the year. 

We are way too hard on ourselves, as we battle PTSD or any other disorder or battle any kind of struggle, due to the trauma we've endured.

It, in fact, takes a strong person to battle every day. I see so many strong people in this community. I see you! 

If you doubt it for yourself...let me remind you...

YOU ARE STRONG! YOU ARE BRAVE! YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING PERSON!

Yes. I see YOU.

Yay! The site is back up! Hoping you are all doing well and weren't affected too much with us being down for a few hours. 

Thanks to @Capulet for being on top of this and working as quickly as she could to get us up and running again.

Self-care reminder.

Did you know we have veterans on our site?

I won't call them out, as they may not want the attention, but do want to acknowledge their sacrifice and service. You know who you are. 

We thank you for your service. 

Truth!   

I am ugly.

This is a Survivors' Challenge.

And I would like to challenge everyone to view themselves in a different way today.

Please read: 

If you read this thru and back...do know you are beautiful. Don't ever doubt it!  

I propose a challenge to y'all...

It's not as easy as it looks, yet important to identify these things in ourselves.

For me...I'd say that I am authentic. 

We are back up and running! Welcome back AfterSilence family!!!   

Food for thought Friday...

I am both pro-life AND pro-choice.

I also have the right to be appalled by what happened yesterday...unless this is the next thing to be outlawed by the Supreme Court. 💔
