I grew a great deal of sympathy for people who are struggling in life. Over the past couple of months, I have been dealing with PTSD and it's a b*tch.

~A distrust in people makes it almost impossible to connect & network
~The 'fire' I feel in my body once fear strikes
~Hairs that physically stand up from a stress-response triggered by something mundane

It is really hard. And interestingly enough, Nostr is the only place where I feel safe to share this.

I want to take this time to tell you that I FEEL FOR YOU. If you're hurting, know that it will not last and that you will get through this. Be kind to yourself. Be happy with those micro-steps. And lastly, know that you are not alone.
