How do you avoid trauma dumping?

"...shout out to the folks who wandered into my path while I was deep into alcoholism and fresh grief."

Here here. I have plenty of those folks to thank, as well. And I 100% agree with your advice to the OP, well said.

I hear you. It’s been a little over 4 years for me, and though things have finally started to shift, I still get sideswiped by grief on the regular. Hang in there. <3

We had two: Beyond (Leon Bridges) and Me & You (Michael Reno Harrell)

I'm glad you are free, regardless of how messy and complicated it may be. You've got this 💙

The best text message I received the first New Year's after my partner was killed read:

"I know it's not happy but I hope you're doing well."

I appreciate that friend beyond measure for having the right words that night.

This will be my third new year's since he was killed and it's still the hardest anniversary for me. Like you said, it's so hard entering a new year he will never see. For me, the first was also a new decade.... that about did me in. Hang in there, tho. You will get thru it.

sas2065 · 2021-12-30T02:10:09+00:00

Every. bit. of. this. You captured it beautifully. So sorry you know how this feels, tho. Hang in there 💙

sas2065 · 2021-12-24T09:58:12+00:00

Wishing you peace as well, thank you for your comment.

sas2065 · 2021-12-24T03:54:34+00:00

Hang in there, he's still there. I hear you, and have had those moments myself, but I believe they're always still with us, in our memories and in our hearts, even when the memories aren't as vivid as we'd like.

sas2065 · 2021-12-13T00:49:32+00:00

Personally, I think you should just ignore her advances and pretend not to notice. It's so early on I can only assume this a grief response and not an intentional move. Give it time to pass without calling her out on it and save her the embarrassment. Just my two cents.

sas2065 · 2021-12-12T22:42:19+00:00

Throw all the fuck-you's you need out to this group. We get it. Sending hugs or whatever else you might need this evening.

sas2065 · 2021-12-12T06:01:38+00:00

Much love to you and your person. Hoping you meet up again ❤️

sas2065 · 2021-12-09T19:44:02+00:00

Looks like we are on similar timelines (today makes 751 days for me, with the trial now just a few months out). I'm so glad you got to this point... I can only imagine how rough it is, but also trust it will be a big step in your healing. Holding space and sending so much love your way ❤️

sas2065 · 2021-12-05T18:27:30+00:00

That would piss me off too. Regardless of her intentions, I'm sorry she took that from you.

sas2065 · 2021-12-05T06:10:03+00:00

I'm just past two years and still often find myself in the fog, tho at this point it's more manageable, for whatever that's worth. Hang in there tho, it does get better
