Anecdotes

There’s going to be a bit of a delay in posting for Wednesday. I’m finally under way on my trip and no longer in the last minute rush to figure out what I should remember/bring/what have you. I’m writing this as virtually everyone naps on the plane. I don’t know …

Right now my life is starting to revolve on the trip across country that I’ll be off on tomorrow night. And while I’m mostly packed, there is always some last minute things you need to do. Have to make sure we have the batteries for the camera and so on. …

I know, I’ve been spending less time focusing on what I should be focusing on. I should be spending time working on processing. I have been. I feel that right now I need to take inventory of some more negative things. Negative mental effects that I’m pretty sure came about …

I had to miss group last night because I had a huge headache. It wasn’t quite a migraine, but it was close. So, I got off a little easy. The pain in my head was intense. So, I feel both relieved and bad because I missed a meeting. There’s not …

I find it interesting that when I listen to myself talk about being beaten or I write it that I seem to be able to separate from what happened. Well, I guess is writing it makes a certain kind of sense. I’m a writer. I have written all sorts of …

Dealing with the abuse is starting to take it’s toll… I mean really dealing. I feel entirely emotionally drained right now. Having to actually listen to me talking about it is pretty hard. Of course, that’s not really what I did last night. Instead I got to listen to my …
