I had to let this sink in a bit. At the latest meeting of the @phpugffm I did a very personal talk about #depression. First I was very unsure if it's the right place for it because it's a tech centered user group. But the feedback was overwhelming. It encouraged constructive discussions and the attendees were extremely thankful. It was awesome. #NotJustSad#YouAreNotAlone.
Today a fantastic therapist I follow on Insta and on #Youtube posted about oversharing - something that a lot of #ChildhoodTrauma survivors struggle with when navigating life
I'm very much the opposite
I've always hidden most of myself - I mask heavily because being myself was always dangerous for me and Mom too
The only regret I would have is inaction, knowing my capacity is important, knowing my strengths, weaknesses, boundaries and when I just need to be there until someone with more capacity can help
#SelfAdvocacy is the most difficult and heart wrenching thing for me to endure
A year of asking for help has been devastating to my #TraumaResponses but I push on
This Christmas I am working through the holidays, far away from my siblings, away from my friends and family who are (rightly so) with their own families. It's tough. Not everyone is with the people they want to be with these holidays, or celebrating the way they want. So I just wanted to reach out and say #YouAreNotAlone To those who are having a tough holiday, alone, or just struggling, I'm sending love, light, and a bit of cheer. I see you and I care #JoinIn โค๏ธ โ๏ธ ๐ ๐ ๐ฅ
Nog even wat sfeerbeelden van de keten van mensen om het stadhuis van Utrecht. Het was druk, we konden makkelijk een keten van meerdere personen dik vormen. #youarenotalone#stopfascism

๐ In this digital age, it's easy to feel isolated, but social media like pixelfed can be a powerful tool for connection and support. Let this post serve as a reminder to everyone going through a difficult time that they are loved, valued, and never alone. ๐ค๐
My dear friend, you are resilient, and this phase will pass. Keep moving forward, one step at a time. Believe in yourself, for you have the strength within to overcome whatever comes your way. I'm here for you, today, tomorrow, and always. ๐
