22 April 2023 Saturday 1:03 am pt

Incubus is threatening me not to put up 🆙 my intaglio print picture here. It’s on my Instagram. He is burning 🔥 my vag. Benny blanco put up 🆙 that song 🎵 on his post George Michael. Michael sounds like my kill. 1:06 am pdt no one seems to care though. I haven’t seen any progress towards resolution. Only threats to tear me apart. I wish I never dated Scott. He wasn’t worth getting to know for me Bcz I don’t like 👍 him now. Hot 🥵 above right ear 👂. If they’re threatening me what is it they’re afraid 😱 of? That people will believe me? Bcz my print was made between fall 2007 and spring 2008? And Amar Malik article said July 2010? 1:10 am pdt it would (left hip bone 🦴 pain) point it in my favor slightly but no one likes me so no one will do anything to help me... so? 1:11 am pdt

1:13 am pdt stereo hearts 🥰

1:14 am pdt never going to dance 💃🏻 again Bcz my hip bones 🦴 etc are being taken away. 1:15 am pdt

1:17 am pdt do you think stereo hearts 🥰 sounds like it was written by a girl 👧 or a guy? I would like to see a poll on this. If you didn’t know who. Wrote it. Curious to know what others think 💭 only for experimental purposes. 1:19 am pdt

1:20 am pdt I want (back pain sharp) my bones 🦴 back and my youthfulness! My health. I don’t care about the money 💰! 1:21 am pdt 😞😖😭 1:22 am pdt I want this nightmare to be over!

1:23 am pdt I want to be able to work hard again without consequences such as losing my bones 🦴 and brain 🧠! 1:24 am pdt 😫😤😰

1:25 am pdt incubus attacked my skull 💀 and probably brain 🧠 today from trying to walk 🥺😖😭 1:26 am pdt

1:29 am pdt years and years of postponement and unfulfilled promises so a lot of stuff I won’t believe until I see results. A lot of stuff is like in reruns. 1:31 am pdt my hotel 🏨 is not giving us extra recycling and compost bins... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Nothings changed. Composting should be mandatory everywhere. 1:32 am pdt

1:33 am pdt acid throat pain no tengo dinero. It’s too bad Travis McCoy didn’t become a millionaire. Wait did Bruno Mars? Did either of those guys do stuff in the billionaire song 🎵? Who can I ask for money 💰? 1:35 am pdt Benny Blancos post literally day after my birthday 🎂 so it looks intentionally dedicated to me about not being able to dance 💃🏻 again. 1:36 am pdt and Amar Malik has some weird posts with a pink liquid spill. Rose 🌹 Rosa pink . Shana = beautiful, rose 🌹, Lilly 1:38 am pdt right arm acid throat too

1:41 am pdt incubus pointed something out to me days ago. It sometimes hard to think 💭 when I can’t breathe 🧘🏻‍♀️ and fighting for my life. So it’s okay 👌 if I’m a whore and it’s my fault 🤦‍♀️ Bcz I shouldn’t have dated me for I don’t remember how long how many days but I don’t think 💭 it was more than 2 months. Some people say by the third month you will know if something will become long term? I don’t really remember spending July 4 th with Scott in 2007. Trying to remember but it’s hard. I used to keep everything. But I was bad at putting dates on drawings ✍️ in my sketch ✍️ books 📖. I guess it was my fault 🤦‍♀️. I don’t have a lot of experience with dating. I guess I never learned until Q said it’s supposed to work immediately. But that was after s*x with Scott. I was trying to see if people would grow on me. I was better off hearing the advice b4 not after. My parents are divorced and they have a huge age gap. My parents were pen 🖊 pals. But I guess my dad rushed my mom Bcz he was already very old. He wanted/needed to have babies 👶 ASAP I guess. They tried to make it work. They weren’t the right fit unfortunately. 1:51 am pdt teeth 🦷 pain 1:52 am some times you just bite the cookie 🍪 5 year engagement. My dad had a fiancé who was stolen by another man 👨, so he had bad luck. 1:53 am pdt my dad wasn’t rich 🤑 I think the other man was? 1:54 am pdt

2:21 am pdt while I was at UCB my eczema on my hands 🙌 got worse so I stopped printmaking. 2:22 am pdt I didn’t do printmaking my second year and beyond. 2:23 am pdt

2:37 am pdt incubus is extremely biased and extremely WRONG 😑. He or she is vilifying me about dating Scott. I was attracted to him too much. And I wanted it to work out 🏋️‍♀️ I wanted to like 👍 someone I was attracted to. But I guess it was too dangerous a situation and I didn’t realize it. Bcz it was hard for me to say no even though I wanted to and meant to say no, he physically didn’t allow me to say no. He physically stopped 🛑 me from responding and went for it. 2:41 am pdt that was probably only the second or third time we hung out even though I don’t remember anymore I think 💭 I used to think 💭 I remembered it being very early on. Too early. Bcz I wanted to say NO Bcz my heart ❤️ wasn’t there yet. But he said he could feel I wanted to. Duh 🙄 that’s hormones. But he is probably trying to lie (acid head pain 2:44 am pdt) and twist it into saying he was in love with out saying it then, but twisted it for later when he wanted to make me look 👀 bad. Bcz he didn’t want people to know what happened exactly. I already told him I don’t think 💭 we should be doing this, but he challenged me. It’s not ok 👌 to challenge a woman 👩🏼. If she says no respect ✊ it. 2:47 am pdt

2:48 am pdt at least I verbally said b4 the s*x a very long no. Acid lips 👄 pain b4 I typed. Acid brain 🧠 pain.

2:50 am pdt I seem to be punished for this. I move to ban lap dances from strip clubs . If I’m being punished acid brain 🧠 pain for that then I will be saving every strippers life by warning ⚠️ them this is what they are like. They will eat your brains 🧠 with acid if you don’t claim responsibility for any rape that occurs after lap dancing 💃🏻. If Scott is punishing me then you are warned. He likes teenagers. Teens at my high school 🏫 rubbed their butts on guys crotch in dances. They didn’t get raped? 2:54 am pdt

2:58 am pdt I guess it’s true. I’m going to die Bcz of Scott cano. Bcz they blame me for stuff they tricked me into doing. 2:59 am pdt men are messed up and 😧. 3 am pdt they are not safe (stomach pain) to be alone with or to conduct business 👨‍💼 with. Unfortunate. 3:01 am pdt

3:04 am pdt I will repeat 🔁 myself Bcz now there are too many posts 😑. Women only desire p*nis. Adequately sized. P*nis. Nothing else would satisfy a woman 👩🏼! But we don’t know what men will try to put their p*nis. Into a pie 🥧 or a sheep 🐑? 3:07 am pdt

3:09 am pdt if people like Amar Malik more than me then I guess there’s nothing I can do. They want to award 🥇 him and not me I cannot do anything. 3:11 am pdt

3:11 am pdt in this weird world 🌎 now that is coming out it doesn’t seem to matter who had the idea 💡 first under what circumstances. Whether I forgot about specific things or I wasn’t made 100% aware of the truth and they messed around with my head a lot for a long time b4 telling me. 3:14 am pdt a lot of sharp back pain. I forgot a lot. No crossover. 3:15 am pdt all I thought 💭 was those guys were regular people like me and they were doing weird bad stuff to me. 3:15 am pdt

3:23 am pdt I guess I have to give up 🆙 Bcz god wants them to have what originally thought 💭 was mine. I thought 💭 about stuff for a while b4 I sang in the shower 🚿 in my apartment. Everything (acid hot pain left hip pain bone 🦴 difficulty breathing cruncher groin bone 🦴 3:26 am pdt I need to face the music 🎶 is that this a cruel joke on me😖😭😫 and that there is nothing else to this. There is no new earth 🌍 that we will all go to together. If there was, I would think 💭 that (pain cramp fart 💨 3::30 am pdt) anyone who has a growing family should go first. Hopefully 🙏 that it’s a quick trip! 3:31 am pdt please stop 🛑 hurting me please stop 🛑 taking my bones 🦴😫😖😭🥵🥵🥵🥵 3:32 am pdt

🌺 Finding Hope Strength Courage Blog 🌺 - 19/07/2022 (Updated 11/07/2024)

💻 About Me and This Blog

👉🏻 I feel happier keeping my name anonymous. 👤

👉🏻 I am 32 years old. 🎂

👉🏻 I am married to my Husband. We’ve been married for 6 years and together for 15 years. 💍

👉🏻 I am a Mum to our 4 year old Daughter. 🤱🏻

💡 I started this blog at Christmas in 2020 due to how I was feeling in relation to my Mental Health and The Pandemic.

___________________________________________________

💔 Bereavement, Grief and Loss

🩷 A bit of background about me is that my Mum died in 1998 when I was 6 years old due to both Physical and Mental Illness. She ultimately died from Anorexia as her body couldn’t manage any longer.

💙 I lived with my Granny mostly as a Baby and Young Child as my Mum was in and out of hospital and my Dad worked. She brought me up and was in nearly every way my Mum. Sadly she died in 2002, when I was 11 after a very short battle with Breast Cancer.

❤️ By this time I was living at home with My Dad and Step-Mum. My Mum and Dad had separated when I was around 5 years old and he remarried in 2002 when I was 10. My Dad sadly died in 2011, when I was 19, very suddenly and unexpectedly, after suffering a Heart Attack.

This is a bit of background on my past with Grief and why I feel Bereavement, particularly in Childhood is something that should never be overlooked and young people need to be supported appropriately during these times. The loss of my parents at young ages has had a significant impact on me growing up.

___________________________________________________

🧠 Mental Health and Illness

💭 I would say when I was about 12 or 13 I began struggling with emotions and my Mental Health, although I didn’t understand what it all meant at that time. I began feeling very negatively about myself.

By the time I was 14/15 (2006/2007) things became a lot of more challenging for me Mentally and Emotionally.

____________________________________________________

🌼 Anxiety

🧠 I believe I experienced Anxiety a long time before I was actually diagnosed or had treatment for it. It has been a challenge since my teenage years and it is something I continue to work on daily.

I experience both Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder.

I also experience Health related Anxiety.

My Anxiety also manifests in OCD and this has been tough for me at times. My OCD is generally around Checking Compulsions - Appliances, Door Locks, Rereading my writing and Driving, amongst others.

After I became a New Mum at the end of 2019 and then during The Pandemic in 2020 and 2021, I developed Obsessions and Compulsions around - Germs, Illness and Cleanliness. I have since worked hard to manage these fears and compulsions better.

____________________________________________________

💊 I was on medication for almost 5 years from the beginning of 2014 until the Autumn of 2018 for my Anxiety and OCD. (Propranolol and Citalopram). I came off my medication after speaking with a Doctor when it was right for me.

In July 2021 I went back on Propranolol and in December 2021 started taking Citalopram again. I took these for Anxiety and also some Depression I was experiencing at the time. Towards the start of 2023, after speaking with a doctor, I began reducing my medication and I am no longer taking any.

___________________________________________________

🗣 I have also had counselling / therapy a number of times since the age of 16 which has been helpful at various points in my life and given me extra tools and support.

In September 2021 I began therapy again with a Private Psychologist and this helped me more than I could ever have hoped. I feel incredibly lucky to be in the position to have been able to access this treatment for my Mental Health. I finished my sessions with my Psychologist in July 2022.

In October 2023 I began Therapy again with a counsellor online and feel it is helping me and I’m making progress with myself again.

___________________________________________________

🧡 **Trigger Warning. Topic of Self Harm.

I have a difficult and complicated history with Self-Harm. From the ages of about 11/12 up until I was 23 this was something I dealt with a lot and was my coping mechanism in many ways.

I was in recovery for this for 6 years from 2015-2021.

Unfortunately in 2021 (aged 29) I relapsed with my Self Harm and it was difficult working to gain control again. I am however, now making good progress with recovery again. I have not Self Harmed now for 2 Months 3 Weeks. I had a couple of relapses in June 2023 and 1 in March 2023.

Before that the last time was in August 2022. My progress has been possible with the support of my Psychologist, in 2021 and 2022. I learnt new tools and coping strategies to help me manage my emotions in healthier ways.

This part of my journey is something that is very difficult for me to talk about, mainly because of how misunderstood it still is and the judgements people make. I also do carry some shame and guilt about myself still - but I'm working on this. I have many scars which I continue to work hard to accept and feel less shame about.

I feel that it’s important to raise awareness around topics like this to help the stigmas that still surround these issues. I am also aware that discussion of topics like these can be triggering for many people so would always want to be careful in how I approached it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Self Harm Recovery ❤️‍🩹 (I won’t write what the methods I’ve used are as I don’t want to trigger anyone but wanted to write my recovery down here for myself.

Method 1 - (Struggled with this the most as a teenager and young adult for around 8 years; 2007-2015)

Current Recovery - 9 Years 2 Months

Last Time - 05/05/2015

Started - Aged 14/15 (2006/2007)

Method 2 - (Struggled a lot with this between 2021-2022)

Current Recovery - 1 Year 11 Months

Last Time - 12/08/2022

Started - Aged 29 (September 2021)

Method 3 - (Less frequent)

Current Recovery - 1 Year

Last Time - 22/06/2023

Started - Aged 29 (July 2021)

Method 4 - (Experienced this mostly as a pre-teen; 11/12)

Current Recovery - 1 Year 4 Months

Last Time - 09/03/2023

Started - Aged 11/12 (2003/2004)

___________________________________________________

🧬 Personality

🧩 I believe I am a Highly Sensitive Person, an Introvert and from research I believe my personality type is INFJ.

I have experienced a lot of Low Self Esteem, feelings of Guilt and I Apologise a lot even when I don’t need to. I am a People Pleaser but this is an area I'm working hard to make progress with.

I have also experienced Depression at times due to things previously mentioned here. I continue to work on myself every day and look after my mind the best I can.

I also struggle with Attachments with people at times in life. I often become too attached and then I’m left feeling anxious and worried about being abandoned / fear of people leaving. I believe my Attachment Style is: Fearful Avoidant and I’m currently working to learn more about this.

___________________________________________________

✏️ This Blog is like a Journal for me. Writing is how I feel I can express myself the best and I’ve written Diaries on and off for as long as I can remember but sometimes it can feel a bit lonely. Here I post my own thoughts and feelings about things as well as sharing others’ posts and information on topics I resonate with and want to raise more awareness about.

I find Quotes and Lyrics very powerful too and attach my own meanings to them. I love Photography, Psychology, Childhood Development and History.

✍🏻 I have written Poetry since I was a young teenager and still find it helps me to express myself.

🌼 I hope that if you find yourself reading this blog that something on here might help you in someway if you are going through things in your life.

love and heartache

COVID-19 this week:

Discovering pieces of conflict we still hold on to.

A young boy scrunched small as a ball under a baby grand piano, cowering down low in the midst of a parental argumentative storm with his trusty dog leaning tightly up against him. This image from Matt de la Peña’s book Love unleashed in me a forgone childhood memory. I wasn’t under a piano but sitting on the steps of a darkened back hall staircase. My sisters and I were huddled close as plates were pitched and chairs were thrown. The kitchen door at the base of the steps, slightly ajar, emitting a slice of light.

When all went quiet, we stepped out cautiously in to the tornadic aftermath. Grown ups no longer present. Picking through the debris, assuming to myself, that somehow I must be to blame. At least part to blame for such rage. Catching the anger as if it was something that I was to own or at least manage somehow. Maybe I would box it up and put it up on the shelf next to the complete set of crimson World Book encyclopedias in the den on the bookcase by the window with a view of the lake. Setting it all back in to place. Then, I presume, I would have gone emotionally underground. Moving on to the ordinary of the everyday and yet, what was ordinary anymore? It wasn’t a story in any of the Dick and Jane scenarios I would have come across in my first grade reader at Robert Fulton elementary. What had been the truth or at least the one that I had presumed to be true, I could no longer name. What do I do now with what doesn’t seem to fit? The something that no one talks about in the afterward. The time beyond the dismantling mom and pop battle.

Would a book like de la Peña’s have helped my wee six year old self? Showing me an innocent image of someone so young caught up in the crossfire of an adult conflict? Normalizing it all in some way. Admitting it was something real to me. Acknowledging more accurately what can go on behind the doors of a three story Tudor home on a quiet block in the ’60’s.

What would honesty and openness have felt like if in that moment truth had been what I found in the disheveled aftermath? Discovering how to authentically name what had transpired and learning that it wasn’t my fault.

How much of this story do my sisters and I continue to carry with us so many decades later? Wondering, when so much was left unsaid, sensing it continues to walk with each one of us in some way. Not necessarily at a conscious level, but my guess is, it is still there.

How to redress the story? How do we no longer skip over the uncomfortable? How do we find that love was also there? +++
