I'm finding it challenging to _________ lately.

Hi Mighties! 💎

How’s it going? What challenges have you been facing recently? What’s been helping you find comfort, relief, or clarity?

This month — and especially lately — I’ve been finding it challenging to release and process feelings of frustration, annoyance, and anger. These are emotions I’m used to repressing and hiding, so now that I’m allowing myself to feel them, it’s been hard to know what to do with them in my body.

What about you? What have you been finding challenging lately?

My voice belongs to Me. #DomesticViolence #CPTSD #EmotionalNeglect

How to use your voice when you rose up "being too much"?

As a child I used my voice loud, trying to set boundaries. All I got was being told to silence or disappear - until I got "easy to handle" again.

Yesterday I had a group experience in self defence. Using my voice, shouting "Stay away!!" felt empowering.

The time to use your voice is now.

we are them

They were scared. They were nervous. They were frustrated. They were confused. They were tired...as are we. Let’s just take a second to recognize how human these feelings are and always have been since the beginning of existence. #lifetrauma #Fear #PTSD #CPTSD

How will you prioritize self-care this weekend?

Happy Friday, Mighties! 🥰

This week flew by, and we're already heading into the weekend. How will you prioritize self-care over the next few days?

I need to make sure I catch up on sleep and rest my eyes after spending so much time looking at screens during the week. 📱👩‍💻

How about you?

App predators

I’ve been on this app for 12 days and I’ve had to block 5 men. I’m out of here. This app is great except for this issue. Sorry but I don’t feel safe! #CPTSD #PTSD

Followers

Why are men on this app trying to follow me? I don’t like most straight men & I don’t trust most straight men and I don’t want to be friends with ANY straight men on this app so why are they trying to follow me? One of them hasn’t even posted anything and he’s following me?? I have blocked 2 so far & I just joined! Is this normal on this app? I think I made my profile private now, but I don’t like to do that because I’m not trying to hide anything- I take that back, I’m hiding from the straight men on this app! I just recently joined this app and I’m not sure how to use it yet, but I found the block button! I’m not trying to be rude or mean but I’d like some space from men! #CPTSD
