𝙃𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙤𝙣… Whether you’re like me desperately trying to hold onto those last few moments of fall or you’re someone in a hard place right now losing hope. My message to you is the same. Hold on, friend.
It doesn’t matter if you are a healthcare worker or someone on the frontlines, someone struggling with isolation, a survivor being triggered or newly discovering / remembering pieces of their upbringing that were lost + forgotten, or something else entirely, this time is hard for many and many of us are
… just 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.
But, friend, I encourage you to hold on tightly. It will pass eventually. Our lives may look differently at the end of this all, but I am here for you.
I spent many years feeling lost, powerless, hurt, and no one was hearing my disguised cries for help. I have also this year been impacted by being laid off in this time, having worsening symptoms of PTSD that led me to finally starting EMDR therapy (a challenge in itself) to work through alllll of the things that are silently steering my life, and also working on the frontlines and working through triggers of unsafe and unstable feelings there. It can feel unbearable at times, but I am so glad that I am continuing to move forward.
You are strong. You are capable. You will get through.
Hold on, friend. If you need to vent or just need someone there, sound off in the comments.
Let me know how I can support you all in this time. Sending so much love, strength, and healing to this community.
