How are you feeling?

[IllusionOfHappiness]

Cold & wishing I didn't carry so much of my anxiety in my stomach. Wishing I had a coping skill. Any coping skill at all.

[IllusionOfHappiness]

Alright so far.

[Keddy]

Lazy and tired

What was the photoshoot about? It sounds exciting. Will you tell us?

The photoshoot is for a magazine I wrote for. It's my alma mater's magazine. I wrote about the abusive relationship I was in, and also briefly talked about the abuse I suffered from my parents. They just wanted to do head shots for the magazine. The publication will be out in May. The hard copy will be available on campus, but it'll be online as well... so I'll for sure link it on here for you guys to read if you'd like. Of course, I'll warn you guys ahead of time -- it's a rather depressing piece and may trigger some things. Thought I throw that out there. It definitely triggered me a lot where I went into depression for a bit and started experiencing flashbacks.

I know it was probably hard for you to write all that, but look how many people you'll help with your experience. I think it was extremely brave of you to share that. I definitely want to read it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I look forward to seeing it.

Calmer than I should be, sort of contemplative.

I agree with Chanty, it takes a lot of courage to share something like that. Glad you are strong enough to have gotten through those tough times in your life and to write about it as well. Looking forward to reading your article! I hope your photoshoot goes well!

Thank you, peeps And yes, it really was. I never had flashbacks and stuff before until I wrote that personal essay. The week I worked on it before turning in the final draft or whatever was just awful. I was crying so much, but at the same time.. it felt good to recall everything that happened to help myself come to terms with what had happened. I never did so (I basically shoved it under the rug after I dumped the guy), so I never quite healed properly.

And the photo shoot went well

Nervous, it's my first day of placement with adult learning difficulties. Hopefully all going well today I'll enjoy myself

Not super thrilled about my doctor's appointment today. I doubt I'm going to get any bad news this time, it's just to check up on me and make sure recovery is going well. I just want to hurry up and get back to being 100% so I can get on with my life. I also really, really don't like physical exams. They make me uncomfortable

[Hush]

I feel like crying today

[IllusionOfHappiness]

Good ol' fashioned angry.

[IllusionOfHappiness]

Super paranoid.

[Heelsbythebridge]

I dunno. Pensive I guess.

[SmileyFace]

Sad.
