I just wanted to update since I haven’t posted in about a month.
I’ve improved a lot & I’m expected to make a full recovery within the next few months, according to my PT.
I don’t want to broadcast the specifics of my medical issues for personal reasons, but basically I was having mobility issues & couldn’t get around without great difficulty.
The past month has been really stressful because my family has also been having minor construction done on our home. It’s pretty disturbing having strange men in and out of my house all day when I am home alone & can’t walk or move properly. Pair that with my history of trauma, & I was clearly on edge.
So right now I’m trying to focus entirely on getting better. I’m sorry I didn’t respond to any of the messages I got. Things have just been really overwhelming. But I really appreciate all the kind words, so thank you to those of you who sent them!
Asks are turned off for the time being & I won’t be checking my messages for a while. I’m not ignoring anyone to be mean I’m just dealing with a lot.
Thank you for understanding!
Also, I’d like to remind people again that this isn’t an advice blog. The only advice I give on this blog is in the form of my posts, which are from my own, very specific life experiences. I’m not a therapist. I’m not qualified to be a councilor of any kind. I can hardly handle my own issues, so taking on other people’s problems is not a good idea.
That being said the internet is a big, big place and there are plenty of resources you can go to vent or get advice for free.
I’ve heard 7 Cups of Tea is a good, free place to vent, thought I’ve never used it myself. The listeners are not therapists, so obviously use it at your own risk.
My town is on lockdown & I’ve been stuck inside with my mother for 3 days…
it’s going…..it sure is.
After the first morning of her being home she was already acting like a troll ready to club someone over the head. I was just sitting there quietly trying not to lose it. Oh and my headphones died the first day so I have to listen to her screech at the tv 24/7.
Hopefully the closures only last for the minimum of 2 weeks time & not the max. time of over a month.
Update
Things have thankfully quieted down. Looks like this quarantine is going to last for quite a while, maybe months so hopefully it stays peaceful.
On the bright side my health issues have improved and I’m able to move around normally for now. I still have to see a few more doctors for my remaining symptoms but I’ve finished my physical therapy for mobility.
I hope everyone else under quarantine is coping somehow. This is going to be a wild ride for most people, let alone, anyone living with abusers, so please hold on to hope & keep yourself healthy & safe.
