Okay. We have a small grasp on our physical feelings. Hopefully you’re feeling more relaxed because of the physical energy release, less sickly because of the high quality diet, and more thought-organized from spending time in nature. If not, you need to keep working....

Whatup whatup. Just an old post that I found sitting in my drafts folder. It’s nothing deep or prolific, but I think it sounds like a lot of us… Might as well put this shit out there. Here’s something I wrote in 2019, as I started to see my...

If I haven’t said before, I’ll be saying it soon: Punk is the Trauma Genre of music. Gather all the angry, poor, white kids with shit families and terrible coping skills. Now give them instruments. Punk. Here’s what Ryan Young of Off With Their Heads...

I would like this email to make its way to Jess if possible. She needs to know how much what she wrote helped me. I read your piece in The Lilly yesterday. I sent it to my husband and my therapist with a note saying that it described EXACTLY how I experience anxiety....

I saw your blurb in the Washington Post and your website and would like to commend your courage in putting yourself out in the open so to speak. Anxiety is at near epidemic levels for a variety of reasons and most people are absolutely unaware how to cope with it and...

I found you via the article in Lily, which I found through the Washington Post. I looked through the TMFRS website a bit and I appreciate you starting this and sharing your story. I am a male, suffering from childhood and career-related trauma and PTSD. When...

… here’s my story so far: the conception of my child 2 years ago pushed up unresolved trauma, started group therapy where I learned I was raped by my h.s. boyfriend (had no idea it wasn’t just sex after he hit me repeatedly in the car that led to sex..). As the...

This is a really big deal. I’m also terrified now for no reason (I think it could be the sharing part). However, my current isolation status and living everyday as if I’m invisible, is actually making me disappear. Except for the fact that I will...

I’m a C-PTSD sufferer (/survivor?). Sources of hell: some nurture, some nature. Main symptoms: flashbacks, dissociation. Comorbidities: anxiety and OCD. When did it start? Early childhood trauma indeed! Because it started so early (age 2, from what I understand)...

Sweet, I’m back. You’re back. Let’s rap. I just recently received a message from a new MF stressing how critical her physical health had become, and my butt-fire was re-ignited. From my own history with chronic, stress induced illness and years of struggling to get...
