As I sit here on New Year's Eve watching football, listening to people already setting off fireworks, and reflecting back on 2023, I remember seeing the quote, "Don't spend another year doing the same shit." Sadly, I forget where I saw it, but it resonated because it is so true! It reminds me of the much-used saying, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results."
Ever wonder if you're the only one going through something?? Ever wonder, "Is this normal?" or "Am I crazy?" I am here to tell you how we react to trauma and stress are normal reactions to abnormal events. Yes, I used the word NORMAL. Research says that sharing lived experiences with peers is an excellent way to help each other with your recovery and mental well-being. As my boss would say, knowing what I know, I wanted to create a blog to do just that... share lived experiences.
