Backstory: I've had trauma and injury. Debilitating. I've been on meds for the related anxiety, for years.
The last month or two have been a journey, downward-adjusting the meds. It's been challenging.
Everything I've learned and experienced in my time on this site has given me tools and perspective and love, to work through the changes. Every time it's been a struggle, something I've received through cuddling, has buoyed me up. Things that would have crippled me in the past have been manageable.
Except for the love. I am constantly, daily, overwhelmed by the love of other, good-hearted people, in ways I can't even begin to understand.
If you are here because you are hurt, or hungry, and you're wonder why you stick around on the site, trust that it's worth it. Trust you are growing. Trust you are healing. Trust that there are people, on your side. Turn around and share that in your world and you will be amazed at what blossoms. Peace, luv, and hugs to you all.
