thanks y’all for those that commented but didn’t want that out there was just having a night and not thinking clearly.
Hey @nikpointer12 We met last year and you always stood out to me. You are such a sweet soul and I would be more than happy to offer another coffee/lunch meet with you along with free hugs if you ever need them. I'm sorry you're having a rough day and wish I was able to comfort you in person. In the meantime here's a virtual hug. ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
@nikpointer12 Sending you a virtual hug... I was in your place but only a short few years ago. Struggling with trauma from deep childhood wounds and the chronic depression which resulted. I made everything about me, and lacking touch I turned on my worst inner critic - I kept questioning in my head what was wrong with me that the world just didn't feel I was worthy of being hugged and touched! Sessions with a really good pro helped me tremendously. You have come to a good place - and there is a way out! I'll message you privately some excellent pros in your area you should reach out to. Since you are in such a vulnerable place, I highly recommend sessions from a trained and experienced professional.
I was feeling quite similar after a mini explosion of childhood memories, and created this thread:

My PM box is open anytime, and here is a virtual hug for you.

Sending you a bunch of hugs & love your way! 🫂🌌
@nikpointer12 Hugs and comfort to you. Wishing tomorrow is a brighter day for you.
I identify with child sexual abuse. It happened to me too. I find that it hits you harder when you get older. I actually had a chance to give the guy who abused me a piece of my mind last year when I found him on social media. I hope that you get the chance to do something similar if you haven't already if that is something that will help you to heal.
As someone who had a horrible introduction to life and only fully escaped my abusers about two years ago, I feel you on this. It can be tough to let people get close either physically or mentally after abuse like that—it can be impossible to trust.
Here's hoping you find someone you feel safe with at least long enough for a hug. A hug is a wonderful thing.
Sending good vibes for a better tomorrow ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ Hope you find the comfort you need
First I want to say that I hate that you are feeling the way that you do right now, and I hope that you are able to get through it all and that you are able to cope . Sounds like a lot. I hope you have loved ones near you.
Secondly I want to give the disclaimer that I always give anytime people share extremely personal information about themselves on the public forums about the risks involved with over sharing. I mean that out of sincere concern and respect for your well being , and am not judging when I say to try to not let your emotions lead you into saying things that you might regret, as once it is on the internet it is public fodder. Be well and be safe .
@nikpointer12 ~ Well... it's a new day and hopefully it's been a better one for you.
Fwiw I can totally relate to the suckfest feeling defeated brings. Sometimes when I'm feeling like crap, I like to Google image search the work of, "The Latest Kate" until I find one that resonates. And then I cry. And altough it can be a bit irritating when stuck in the muck of it, at some point I'll remember something like this exists ...
... and I lighten a little because I know it's true. I hope you can find some uplifting truth for yourself to reflect on too. And for both of us and the other relators too...
Congrats!! 🥳🎉
