November 2016


If you feel that you want to know what happened in this horrific situation then here's the article below.....

"The attack spread fear and panic among Mountain View High School students who described a panicked and gruesome scene immediately after the stabbings, with victims running from the locker room covered in blood and the school placed on lockdown"


Today, at lunch a student acted the same exact way to another student yelling "I'm going to kill you" then took his own glasses and smashed them to pieces this event ended in almost the same way but luckily we had some staff on duty to restrain him. My reaction to this was close to how I felt when the stabbing had happened, scared and confused. I hate memories sometimes. But I'm definitely going to have a talk with my therapist about what happened today and before today.

How very awful! I'm so sorry you had to witness this horror, and then the echo of it today. I'm glad you will talk to your therapist about this.

So sorry this happened to you, but I'm glad you found us. I'm a survivor of sudden public violence, too, in my case at an ice cream parlor, of all places. Glad to hear you've got a therapist. I did, too, and in time it helped. We're here for you.

Owie, yeowie, triple howl zowie. How are you holding up today?

In my personal therapy network, we are currently calling that, "A Flashback" and girl howdy it sucks like an industrial hoover. Flashbacks can blindside me at the worst of times and I not only have to relive the trauma, I have to relive the recovery, as well. Gets me shaking my fist at the sky screaming impolite versions of, "Why you do that?"

But I am admiring the way you are handling ^it^. Sounds to me (just a patient) like you are already on a solid healing path. There are no microwave remedies that I know of and it takes time, but you seem on your way. At least. . . So I hope with just-a-patient optimism. The healing of one is the healing of us all.

Steadying support while you find out for yourself, Skii. Hope healing happens here.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
