I still keep a journal and will be referring back to that often as well as refer back to my old journals. I have such a big history and it’s never easy to tell it all, but sometimes it’s necessary.

My goal is to meet people out there with the same experiences as me. My husband is a great support system, but he also grew up upper middle class with amazing parents who are still a big part of his life today. Sometimes he doesn’t understand how some triggers can bring back some of the worst memories. He’s seen me having to cope with these emotions, but never fully understands them.

If I can connect to just one person, with the same troubles, that would mean everything. I want to help others out there like me. To let them know, they are not the only ones still dealing with issues from the past. You are not alone.

You are sane, just different. And that’s ok. Normal people are boring 😉
