I hate to say this also, but I am not doing well and really really really need a hug. Family isn't really noticing I'm in a bad place right now (there's a movie on and they're making dinner), and I'm shutting down, even in the same room as them.

I am going to try and reach out in a minute, but man, 'alone in a crowd' sucks real bad. >.<

@zetasyanthis *hugs* I’m sorry. Is it just the overwhelm?

@Leucrotta Yes and no. I was handling things okay until the movie hit my trauma in the face. (I am shaky, but recovering, now.)

@zetasyanthis oof. That is rough. Best of luck wobbling back to normal.

@zetasyanthis That was a while back now. How're you holding up now that some time's passed?

@Leucrotta

I'm doing okay, sharing silly things with family. Still need to work some of this trigger stuff, but will do that largely tomorrow and then even more next week with my therapist. (And I will absolutely seek out more serious help sooner if I need it.)
