Big hug for you muji.... I think it's important to 'listen' to your needs...

What you do is wonderful in sharing your story and reaching so many others with both educating and letting others understand what may have happened in their own lives

At the same time it's important to minister to your own needs Muji... If you need some time to just kick back and rest, please take it M... I would hate to see you get sick because you are ignoring you... You are much too important to all of us... Another hug and a blessing...xo

biggest hugs minnie

I agree with Jan. it's great you're sharing this way, but please don't fall into the trap of sacrificing yourself for a perceived greater good. You are as important as anyone else and have a greater responsibility to you than to them.

Since this is so new to you, I'm sure you will find the right way to do it going forward to fulfill your aspirations and also take care of you. You are actively learning how to do this, and I'm sure you will figure it out.

You're a brave man. ((( hug. )))

as long as it does more harm than good for you,, we all want tell and testify to the horrors we lived with in 12 steps and church they call it telling your story or testimony if every survivor could have a chance to have their forum to speak out this place this world would have a lot more hope in it I know the holocaust survivors could think of nothing but sharing the horrors of torture so they could stop carrying such a load,, best wishes and God bless as you tell a story of ptsd and we all relate

If this feels right for you, I applaud your courage for doing it. Maybe it will help someone who's afraid to come forward about their abuse.

Whatever happens, you know that people like me will always support you.

victor frankl mans search for meaning ,,, wow ,, I meant more GOOD than harm Gods blessings get rested

Much Support for you muji! You are so brave to talk about what you have been through, but take good care of You! Blessings and Hugs

Much support for you, Muji, and make sure your weekend is otherwise spent in self-care, okay? We're here cheering you on and circling you in protecting support.

Good luck, Muji.

Not easy, certainly, but -- with any luck -- well received AND therapeutic.

Much support to you. I will tell you that i used to do trainnings about cult abuse and plan old talks and it was such a healing thing to do and it helped so many but it took a lot out of me. I finally learned that i had to take care of myself and stop doing it for awhile. It can be a fine line. Just rember that we all care and are worried you might be over doing i.with work, fun, and taking care of yourself. We all care about you and love ya.

I will be tight there with you as you tell your storey. I also just wanted to remind you of how much you have changed and grown over the past year. You have gone back and saw the spot where it happened, so much courage. You have school stuff under control and you are so much more confident.

I know you will do great telling your story and educating others about mental health. Thank you for doing this as it will help reduce the stigma of mental health.

Performing takes a lot out of a person. I'm not saying you are not being authentic, but getting up and telling your story is very dramatic and zaps you. I teach and sing, but I was totally exhausted when I shared a personal story on stage- and it was a *happy* one... Sharing about PTSD will take a toll on you.

God, yes; tiring; yes. Worth it? You bet.

You're a smart cookie- you'll know when to stop before you crumble.

Hugs.

I posted this and didn't look again until bedtime right now, and TWELVE of you sent me strength, along with the wisdom to look out for my self care.

You are wonderful friends, and there are so many of you! I thank you all so much for both the strength and the wisdom, too.

I'm going to go to sleep now fortified and get up and do this. Thank you all.

God bless you Muji :) you're very brave
