Thoughts with Moore, OK tornado survivors

Community Leadermujicaptsd

I woke up this a.m. to see news footage on TV of a devastating tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma. A school and a hospital were hit. In my wandering I lived in Oklahoma for 3 years and tornadoes are a real problem in "tornado alley" there. I had a friend survive the Joplin, Missouri tornado disaster just recently.

So thoughts and prayers go out to everybody who lost someone, who was injured or had a loved one injured, or lost their home to this traumatizing event. Thought and prayers, too, to any here whose memories are triggered of having survived such disasters.

If anyone traumatized by this finds their way here to reach out to us for healing, may we be able to come up along side them and meet them where they are. May they know they are not alone.

That same tornado alley is big enough to have held most of my birth-family's "gypsy wandering." It is a big ol' alley! If anyone had cared enough to try, I doubt anyone could have dragged me indoors during the show of raw power of a tornado. ZOOM ZOOM! I have long thought I want to depart this world riding a tornado.

But the folks suffering in Moore, OK are probably more sane than I am. The world needs all the compassion it can get.

I here you!! God Bless those poor souls. My heart goes out to all of the victims and survivors. I have always been just mesmerized by tornadoes. I have dreamed so many dreams where I had tornadoes right above me. Like ten feet above me. I always believe(d) that 'how I will die.(like you, arfie) I have thought this from age(teens) on. I don't like all of the devastation caused by them.

Thoughts and Prayers go out to everyone affected. A disaster. And yes; traumatizing. muji ; May they know they are not alone. AMEN.
Thanks for posting this muji.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
