New profile pic: I saw this little violet and felt a kinship. Even from inhospitable rocky terrain, beautiful things can blossom.

On the same line as this can the blog posts and status updates be made not public. I feel like I would be more like.y to use both features if they were behind the member wall

Anxiety is really getting to me this week. I think I will feel better when we know who will be replacing our boss, but I don't know when that decision will be.

Trying to get better after years of silence
Six_times_seven replied to Phoenix23's topic in Public: Welcome!
@Phoenix23 You will find lots of kindness and understanding here. There are many here that share similar experiences to your own. I understand what it is like to feel like you don’t have the right to feel traumatized because others have had worse experiences. Slowly over the years I have begun to put together the pieces of my past and begin to understand how every little trauma has added up to the constellation of poor coping habits I have developed. Timing and duration of trauma also have an impact. -
I hear you about it feeling like it’s things on top of things. I definitely feel the same at times… here is a good place to untangle some of that. nothing about healing is linear even the order we tell our stories. Take your time look around. You will find many similar stories here.

@LovelyLittleDisaster Welcome fellow teacher! I am a 4th grade teacher Originally from Ohio but now in the colder northern part of the Midwest. I'm sorry for what brought you here but welcome to our group. -
Yes, I definitely do this and it seems like a common challenge around here. I am trying to catch myself when I do things like that but it is a challenge to be sure. Having a therapist is beginning to help. I sometimes need someone unbiased to call me out on my BS.

Still frustrating moments today but it was better than before... Hoping the rest of the week is smooth sailing

@sgs I just noticed that you also enjoy weight lifting! I love it. I find lifting to be a very therapeutic activity… I hope you do as well.
