I've sat in the dark, afraid & alone, many times. If you're feeling alone, know that I see you, I care, I've been there, & however far apart we are, I'm cheering for you. #Loneliness #Depression #Burnout #Recovery #CPTSD #ActuallyAutistic

@Krisss Thank you. I mean every word. The thought of people, struggling, feeling all alone, makes my heart incredibly sad. I want to be a healer, in this world. So good to meet a fellow healer. 🖤 (I just like the black hearts 😊)

@cyn_mccrackan @Krisss Our paths are different, but I relate to your words. My childhood was nightmare, I still felt the loneliness, heartache, pain, of other people, & despite my own pain, felt compelled to help others. I’ve been amazed how much it’s helped me.I understand not feeling safe w/people. That’s almost impossible for me, but I’m trying to allow a little vulnerability, so I can find my tribe.I’m so sorry you’ve suffered such traumatic health setbacks.

@Krisss @cyn_mccrackan We are in agreement. Finding kind people hasn't been common, in my life. But I believe in being the love and laughter I've needed. To me, people are primary, and I care deeply. So happy to find you, here. Refreshment for my thirsty soul. (Non-religious sense)

@cyn_mccrackan @Krisss We sound similar. I want mental health to be normalized, rather than stigmatized. I share more about myself than I'm comfortable sharing, to help others tell their stories. I've been unimpressed by the medical establishment, and less impressed by accessibility to services. I'm not good at small talk. I enjoy deep, personal conversations, and mental health is a special interest, given my own struggles. I'm enjoying this chat so much. 🥰

@Krisss @cyn_mccrackan My apologies for this delayed response. I've been having a hard time, and I tend to hermit, when I'm what my grown kids refer to as, 'A baby struggle.' I'm going to reply, in a separate comment, because limited characters.

@Krisss @cyn_mccrackan I used to be in therapy, for a little over 3 years. My therapist did not believe long term talk therapy was the answer for my CPTSD. Instead, she taught me how to develop tools for coping, for growing, for healing. I'm so grateful for her. Because of her, I have a whole system built, on my computer, for managing my recovery. I lovingly call it, 'SageOS'. It has helped me so much, in getting to know myself, good and bad. It helps me face my truth. I was raised as a sex slave. It is much less painful, now, but I've been actively on the journey for 11 years. No, I'm not on any medication. I use weed, though. I'm pretty much alone, physically, which is hard. Soul crushing loneliness. My kids text and call. It's not the same as, in person, visits. They visit when they can, and I love that. Making friends is difficult, for me, for various reasons. All in all, I'm doing so much better than I thought I ever could. Nightmares do kick my ass, from time to time. That's been my recent struggle.

@Krisss @cyn_mccrackan Thank you for your kind words. I’m usually exceptionally okay at being alone. But when I’m not sleeping, multiple days in a row, it really messes with me. Also, I had to move away from my family, (my grown kids) due to needing a drier climate, so I miss them. My ex, and one of my sons, are coming to visit, this weekend, so I’m looking forward to that. My ex is a great person, and still a best friend. He’s been a fantastic support.

@Krisss @cyn_mccrackan I’m glad you do okay with the lonely feelings. I wanted to say that I love the art you post. Lately, I’ve been a mostly a lurker. I don’t comment on anything, boost anything, or favorite anything. But I do scroll! You post some fantastic pieces, and some days it is so nice to linger on ones that catch my eye, and study the color, and try to put myself into the mind of the artist, to see things from a perspective, other than my own.

@Krisss @cyn_mccrackan I might just take you up, on your sympathetic ear offer. I’ve been doing well, for about 3 years, but I began having nightmares new, persistent nightmares. They’re very disturbing and frightening. Throwing me off a little. If you ever want to get a faster response from me, just start witth something like, ‘Reply requested’. That’s what my kids do, so I know I need to get back to them, in a timely manner. I appreciate you, Kris.
