How much of my misery the last 6 months can be explained by the congestive heart failure I didn't know I was experiencing? 😔

I'm so so sorry for your loss. Those little furball friends are the best creatures on the planet. Will honor her always ❤️

One thing about me... if we're dating and you give me an adorable little raccoon instead of flowers, you're totally winning all the brownie points. 🥰 He even came with his own little trash can 😭

People misunderstand compassion & validation as they apply to trauma recovery. They are not warm & fuzzy ways to make "excuses." They are clear eyed, reality oriented tools that empower us to face truths we've been tricked by trauma into denying & disowning for too long.

My garbage disposal went out so of course I don't want to attach a brand new one to the sink I loathe, so I bought a whole new sink, faucet, and disposal. Maybe this will fix my #depression. #hopeful

I was asking an employee at Lowes questions about their installers and the guy asked me if I already picked the sink I want. I told him yes and the brand, and he said "good girl". He didn't catch my look of disgust, unfortunately.

My garbage disposal just stopped working. Too bad I gave my $150 Lowes gift card I'd been saving to someone who never even gave a shit about me.

This is Dino. He saw you with that hot dog bun. Tried to get away but tripped over his own ears. 12/10 he has a family

a brown and tan dachshund puppy lays on their back on a tile floor. the puppy is so small that he's the same length as one tile. his ears are splayed out on either side, his paws tucked in to his chest, and his eyes wide with terror. please show him mercy, we're begging you!

Generational trauma requires ignorance, denial, & fear to thrive & penetrate into subsequent generations. It is absolutely allergic to survivors w/ the courage & tools to see what we see & know what we know without shame.

We're not just working our recovery for ourselves.

Today, I am full of #gratitude.
For life, for my dogs, for my support system, for my jobs, for my house... my life is abundant, and I need to stop and enjoy things every once in a while.

I've had the experience that for every 3 diagnoses, I can trade one in but it adds an intensity multiplier to those I keep.

Signs your childhood still affects you:

You apologize too much

You’re scared to ask for help

You think love has to hurt

You feel guilty when you rest
It wasn’t your fault.
But healing is your right.
