  3. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Just because we are all social distancing doesn't mean we can't still participate in SAAM activities. Be extra kind to yourself this month.

  7. Every time I talk about the forum in therapy, my T tells me how grateful they are that I have this space.  :throb:

      That's great!  I think this site is a GODSEND and am so glad your T agrees.  So glad you're here and that we all have each other to lean on when needed.  Peace and health.  :throb: :peace:

      I'm glad that you found us, too. You are a valued member of this site! :throb:

      Thank you both.  I appreciate what both of you bring to the forum :loveas:

  8. Going to really try to listen to my therapist's advice and limit my time on Facebook.  

    1. CrimsonRegrets

      CrimsonRegrets

      That sounds like a good idea. People on facebook can be really mean and hateful.

    2. snmls

      snmls

      Yeah, it's been really triggering for me lately because of all the hateful things people are saying about stuff going on in the news. 

    3. CrimsonRegrets

      CrimsonRegrets

      Yeah I know. I've seen some hateful things about the me too movement as well and people calling each other morons for just having a different political opinion. It's crazy.

  9. Had my session with my new T today. She seems nice and I think there is a chance we will work well together. But it made me fully process that my old T is gone and that made me sad. 

    1. MeBeMary

      MeBeMary

      I'm glad the new T has much potential. You deserve the best match possible.

      Sorry, you miss your old T. I'm sure you will remember and be thankful for all she has helped you with.

      :hug: 

    2. snmls

      I'm looking forward to see how my relationship with my new T unfolds. 

      I'll always be thankful for the years I spent with my old T and how much they helped change my life. 

  10. Happy International Women's day! :flowers:

  11. Have my first session with my new T tomorrow. A little nervous. After spending over four years with my previous T, I feel like I'm starting therapy all over again. 

    1. MeBeMary

      MeBeMary

      Sitting with you. I think it would be normal to be a little nervous. Remember an adjustment period is ok. Hoping the new one turns out to be someone you bond well with.

      :hug:

      Thanks Mary. Trying to stay optimistic.

  12. Hope everyone had a nice holiday. I know that holidays can be a stressful time for a lot of us.

  13. Hosted an event for Sexual Assault Awareness month at my school today!

    1. Free2Fly

      Free2Fly

      Awesome, wish some of the places I went to cared about awareness of this before :( 

    2. snmls

      snmls

      It went well @Ian37.  I wish more people would have come to the event, but it was good overall.  We had an educator come from our local rape crisis center and she provided us with a good overview of the local sex crimes laws.  We also talked about consent and the myths surrounding sexual assault.  

      Thanks @Free2Fly.  I think some University's are getting a little better, but they still have a long way to go.  It seems like students have to be the ones to push for the school to do something. 

    3. Free2Fly

      Free2Fly

      Yeah :( , no one ever know or noticed the way I behaved, to be fair back then everyone thought the world was fluffy and had rainbows :( .

  14. I share with you all my favorite MLK quote in honor of MLK day today. 

     “Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” 

    I hope someday we all get the justice we deserve. 

    1. MeBeMary

      MeBeMary

      Beautiful quote and beautifully relayed. :throb:

  15. I think my first psychiatry appointment went well.  Plan on starting the meds either Sunday or Monday.  

    1. Kmkz

      Happy it went well and hope you see an improvement with the meds

      I'm so glad that it went well for you. Take your time with the medication. Sometimes it takes weeks to see a difference.

  21. My T is having surgery on Friday and I won't see them again for a month.  Hoping things will be alright for me while I'm on my own.

    I did give them a get well card today during our last session before the surgery, and they really appreciated it.  It made my heart smile. 

    1. MeBeMary

      MeBeMary

      I'm sorry your T is to have surgery and will be absent from you for a month.

      I think you will be ok, tho. And if you struggle, you got this community to turn to. :hug:
