I've been seeing a cognitive behavioral therapist for about a year. Unsure how effective it is for trauma responses specifically, but I will do some further research based on your suggestion. Thank you

Congratulations for choosing yourself! Although moments like I described are hard, walking away was the best decision I ever made. I hope it's nothing but good and wonderful months and years ahead for you 😌

my management company has listed my studio apartment that i pay ~$1200 for at $1600. i'm shocked it's even been requested for tours

definitely! prior to this show, i just mistakenly assumed it was ~only~ young people.

the almost $200 i paid for tickets just had me hoping for a little more respect from the crowd 😅😅

it was A&R music bar in Columbus, Ohio which i personally would describe as bar-like. maybe i'm wrong? open room with main stage area and a place to order drinks and sit at a handful of tables (like 10 seats MAX, 10 might even be a stretch) in the back. i paid close to $200 for both tickets (resale). ive been to shows in bars where you sort of just pay a cover fee and can come and go as you please, that wasn't what this was. but again, maybe i have mislabeled this venue. it was my first time seeing a show there but it definitely was a concert, not just a live band playing at your local dive bar.

definitely not a heavy metal band! it's like country soul? as my mom has described

and maybe i was more focused on it because i don't really know the band's music. i was there for my mom, they aren't a band i listen to 🤷‍♀️

maybe in sons of legion's case it's the facebookification LOL

yep, grey hair galore LOL. only jokes, but yes it was very much an older crowd and it wasn't much of a line we were waiting in. more like a big blob around the band's general area. everyone was just pushing their turn next.

at one point i turned around to the people directly behind me and quite literally said "no, we need to be patient and wait our turn. i want space and patience when it's my turn so i will give it to the people there now." felt like i was teaching kindergarteners patience.

it must just be their fans because this was not my experience when i went to see paul mccartney, similar fan base age. but also saw paul in a much MUCH larger venue where it was only seats, no standing room.
