Today is the day. The Supreme Court (of AR) gave The Monster's scumbag defense lawyers until today to file their writ of certiorari with them and you guessed it. There is NOTHING on the docket so far. They've had THREE YEARS to do this, and they can't even honor a two week-deadline given to them by a court that can sanction them, etc. They are unbelievable. If you have followed my story, you already know that. I just wonder how long this will be allowed to continue. I am tired. But, no one gives a you-know-what about me. Not the Court, not his lawyers, no one in the system. Victims don't get lawyers for themselves, and once a case has progressed to an appeal, the prosecutor is done. Once again, I am my own advocate. And, like I said, I am tired.

Sending you strength and energy to add to your own reserves... and I think I remember you saying that you identify as a woman of faith, so I'm sending prayers (if that's okay) that all of this gets resolved quickly, that it's final, and that this long nightmare is over and you can just focus on healing and living your life without this hanging over you. Is there anything we can do to lend you our strength and support right now?

Today is the first anniversary of my father's death. We had a difficult relationship at times, but he was a good person, and helped me become the person I am today. He was a firm believer in justice, the value of our shared humanity, and kindness --especially to children and animals. I miss him, and the world he believed in and tried to bring about.

Not feeling like myself. I want to be cheerful and motivated, but am dragging and detached from everyone and everything. I’m sorry for being MIA. I love and support you all. ❤️🌺

After all this time, just now starting to feel anger... not sure what to do with that.

Thanks, @8888, I appreciate the support. I wrote about it a little in the venting section... It's not constant, but it is really scary to start to feel it, like some sort of monster of the depths just below the surface... so far I'm okay, just not sure I want to process this.

Nothing is helping. I felt a bit better after writing yesterday and posting it here, but I am still in a pit. I am at work trying to avoid everyone so that I don't take it out on them. I left my anxiety meds at home...but what good would they do anyway? I feel more depressed than anxious. I wish I was home with my dogs. But even then, I am still suffering. I have no idea what to do.

i don't like being ignored

Grateful to be with a safe and caring partner now, celebrating 6 years since our wedding day. 🙂

Talked with old friends today. They are moving on with their lives... dating, getting married, having kids, etc. Meanwhile, I have wasted the past several years of my young life trying to recover from a mental breakdown and effects of trauma. I’m not sociable anymore. This is not where I thought I’d be in life right now. I feel like such a failure... I’m feeling so much self-hatred and shame. 😢😞

I think it's not negativity, I think there is a real sadness and loss that comes along with trauma. I support you having whatever space you need to feel how you feel. I don't think you're a failure, or that you've wasted your life, but I am sending you support and holding space for you to process the loss if it is helpful for you. I don't think feeling this way makes you bad, or a failure, just a human being who has been through more than anyone ever should have to. Sending support and encouragement and kindness, my friend.

I wrote about my dental appointment yesterday, I know it's a lot of writing, but I could use a little support if folks would be willing to comment on it, please?

I don't mean to complain... I think I just feel so vulnerable sharing these things sometimes, and I know I write a LOT when I do... but then there's a part of me remembers what it was like to be invisible and I start to wonder if I've done something wrong or offended people.... I know that's not real, and that people here are good... but then I just feel so dang clingy and needy to want responses... <shrug> Anyway, I get myself all tangled and I know it's not necessary, just old programming... Thanks for listening and responding.

Thanks, @BrightSide, even just this helps me not feel like I'm shouting into the void. Please don't feel pressured to read my post if it would be triggering, I appreciate your support here. Thanks. 💛

Well, I'm still having pain a week later, so I have to go back to the dentist tomorrow.... plus they have to re-do the impressions which I find overwhelmingly triggering. Not looking forward to it at all.

Yes, please. My husband's work schedule means that he won't be able to drive me there, so I will have to drive myself, and wait to take my anxiety meds until right before so I can be safe to drive... He will then take a public transit or uber or something to get to the dentist so that he can get me home since I won't be safe to drive after. I usually have him with me the whole time because it helps me to feel safe. I really like my dentist and he's always been safe with me, but I have to admit going there at the end of the day, by myself, and it'll likely just be me, the dentist and the assistant there at that time makes me feel really anxious. Plus the impressions are so hard for me... I'm really not looking forward to it, but I'm glad to get the pain dealt with asap, so I'm going anyway.
