  1. Tomorrow is my 11th trauma-anniversary. It's hard to believe. Some days it feels like just yesterday, but I'm proud of all I have accomplished since then.

      Yess, trying to spread more awareness! 

  3. My T told me they are leaving the practice in a few weeks. This is going to be the third time I'm changing T's since I started at the practice several years ago. It's always hard to start over.

      I’m sorry @snmls, that sucks!! It is tough starting over. Can you ask them to do a handover to the new t?

      Thanks @awi. I appreciate it. Things have gotten a little better, but there are still so many unknowns. It makes it hard to calm my anxieties.

      Thanks all. The appointment went well. The PT was very good at explaining things and making me feel comfortable. I'm going back this week.

      That’s great news!! 

  8. Stepping down from the newbie support team. My life has gotten busier and I no longer have the time to dedicate to being an active member of the team. It has been an honor being a part of the AS staff these past few years. I'll still be hanging around the site though.

  10. Happy new year AS family. Wishing you all the best in 2024. 

  11. Feel like I'm caught in an endless cycle that I'll never be able to break. 😔

  12. My dog is having a procedure done on his eye tomorrow morning. I'm nervous about it.

      Thanks Mary. He's doing okay. It's been a bear getting the eye drops in multiple times a day, but I think he's doing better. He's going for a recheck on Wednesday.

      Hope his check up goes well @snmls

  13. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.  :tealribbon: This year's theme is “Drawing Connections: Prevention Demands Equity.” This campaign calls on all individuals, communities, organizations, and institutions to change ourselves and the systems surrounding us to build racial equity and respect.

  14. Getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow. 😬 Sitters welcome and good vibes appreciated!

      Pocket riding! :throb: 

      I know how anxious you can be. I had two teeth pulled earlier this year. It's certainly not fun. 

      Hope you are stocked up on softer foods for a few days. An added inconvenience on top of the anxiousness of the appointment itself.

      Safe hugs. :hug:

      Pocket riding with you!!! (Hopefully I'm not too late!) I hope it goes well. I haven't had mine out...so I can't say, but I've heard it's not fun. Take gentle care of yourself afterwards. Treat yourself to something nice. ❤️ Best wishes! *safe hugs*

      Thank you all. The procedure went well and the pain has been minimal. Been eating all the soft foods. 

      The only downside is that I'm recovering at my parents house and all their fighting has been upsetting and triggering to me. Definitely not the most healing environment. Hopefully, I'll be back in my apartment tomorrow. 

  15. Be kind to yourself this holiday season.

      Hi @Doll6, @Mave, @mini.finch, and @MeBeMary. Thanks for the well wishes. Sorry to take so long to reply back. The first session went well. I think she is someone I will work well with and feel comfortable with. We'll see how our relationship evolves over the next few weeks.

      Glad it went well, but yes. It takes time for a relationship and trust to build. It's a good start tho and I hope it continues to build properly. :up:

  22. T told me today that she is leaving the practice in May. Just sad. I don't like having to start over. 

    1. MeBeMary

      MeBeMary

      So sorry to hear that. I know creating a bond is never easy. I do hope you find one that will be just as worth it.

      Thanks Mary. I hope that I am able to have another good transition with a new T. This is my second time starting over due to a T leaving the practice.

      Oh no. That really sucks. :( I hope that things will go well with getting a new T. Wishing you all the best. ❤️
