IMPORTANT UPDATE!
4 years ago
TW's: ED, Mental Health, Police Brutality, etc.
As some of you may have noticed, I have not been active lately.
Unfortunately many things have been going on in our lives.
To list a few:
• I have started DBT counseling. Originally it was supposed to be CBT, but it was switched as DBT is much much better for C-PTSD. It is very intensive mentally and emotionally, but it will hopefully help me in the long run :)
• We have found out our son is not only speech delayed and requires speech therapy, but also is being referred to an ASD clinic to have him assessed for Autism and where he falls on the spectrum + what supports we can give/get for him to help him ongoing through life.
• Our daughter is also high needs as she is very likely ADHD, has emotional trauma (from past abuse that we are no longer around) and has struggles with food and sleep.
• We (partner and I) are both working on managing ADHD, Depression, GAD, OCD, C-PTSD, Fibro, etc. This has taken a lot out of us emotionally, physically, and mentally.
• I am struggling with Binge Eating Disorder and weight anxiety.
• And last but certainly not least, my partner and I had a disagreement last Saturday. It wasn't anything major, raised voices, done in 10 minutes, kids were upstairs a whole floor away, and we used our conflict safe word to stop and calm down so we could come back and discuss calmly. But unfortunately, our vindictive narcissistic neighbor decided to call the police and make up lies such as "we were breaking things" and "getting physical" (all completely untrue). To summarize, we were cooperating, telling them what happened and that everything was OK, and one of the officers got aggressive, threatened to arrest my partner, and pointed his taser at him (which looks like a GUN). My partner already has PTSD from police, and had been struggling with the incident ever since. Thankfully everything deescalated and the police (all eight of them...) left, but we're very shaken up by it.
Going forward, I should be much more active now and on top of things as we are starting to adjust to our new responsibilities and starting to manage our physical and mental health, but please be aware that my life is very chaotic still and although we are doing our best to achieve a peaceful and calm life, there are still going to be bumps in our road and unexpected delays may occur.
I really really appreciate everyone's support through this past difficult time, thank you so much! 💖
I'll be sending out more messages and updates over the course of tonight and the weekend!
Side Note: I am doing some business overhaul. New branding, updating ToS (anyone who already has an order with me will not be bound to the new ToS, only the old one), and reducing what types of commissions I offer. I will also be cleaning up my gallery here too!
