One of the many things that sucks about PTSD is that you’re doing all this work between episodes and believing that you’ll react differently to the next trigger. Then a trigger happens and swallows you whole, and you’re left with the reactivity PLUS a sense of failure. Feeling very give-uppy today.

Tomorrow I’m going to wake up early to go rescue two kittens that were probably going to freeze to death. Through the kindness of strangers we are going to get them warmth, food, and ultimately forever homes. That is just going to have to be enough in this shitty, selfish world tonight.

Currently, my anxiety is manifesting as me cooking cuts of meat I’ve never cooked before. Tonight I did a rump roast with a plate full of carbohydrates. Always heard rump roast was tough, but low and slow did the job. It was delicious. Might do this for the holidays once we’re all turkeyed out.

Getting ready to serve in my annual role as the crazy Halloween lady. Took out a small business loan, so I could hand out full size candy bars again. Your regular reminder that teenagers are still kids, and it is good actually they’re participating in some harmless fun. Don’t be an ahole. 👻 🎃

Once there was a girl named Jenny.
She was like all the other girls,
except for one thing.
She always wore a green ribbon around her neck.
6 more days… #Halloween

One of my kid’s friends was involved in a car accident. Both her parents died, and she’s undergoing multiple surgeries for a spinal cord injury. I’ve just been beside myself all day. Hug the people you love and tell them you love them. You never know what can happen in an instant.

CFCE recertification done and dusted! Very much looking forward to not having to do that again for another 3 years. It’s a tough one. 😅

Airport: this dad has asked his toddler 3x whether they want a sandwich or a hot dog & they keep getting distracted & not answering & the last time he asked it sounded like he was going to start crying. His pregnant wife is so angry I’m afraid she’s going to crash the plane on purpose. Been there. 🥴

Just drove over the spot where JFK was assassinated. It was quite chilling. My uber driver was very enthusiastic telling me about it and knew the precise spots of the first bullet and the second bullet that hit him. Starting to think he may have done it.

Louder for the people in the back. Or quieter if it’s before 10am.
It’s fine to start your day before dawn, but have the decency to be contemplative & sad while doing so.
And I better not hear your voice except to say what you like in your coffee.

I have held this as long as a body can hold it. I need to live my truth: morning people are annoying af.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Will a day ever come where my body will live through a panic attack and then remember it didn’t actually die so there is no reason to go through the exercise again?

New from 404 Media: the Discord hack is every users' worst nightmare. Yesterday the hackers started posting Discord users' selfies, identity documents, email addresses, phone numbers, more. I watched in real time. This is risk of tech storing ID for age verification

Pretty proud of the Halloween decor efforts this year. I had to bench my giant spider due to injuries sustained in the off season, but other than that everything was surprisingly well behaved this year. youtu.be/RgWofBhoe7M #Halloween #HomeHaunt #AnythingToFeelAlive
