Post a picture of your favorite sign from today's protests.
I will go first.
I have no clue what city this was taken in, but it made me laugh.
How about you? Show me your favorite sign.
You can always tell when someone grew up with intense fear based parenting. They always think they're in trouble. They apologize for things they don't need to apologize for. And they over-explain things so intensely you can feel their anxiety.
@Bobbythegreat@KellyScaletta I’m just stating what the books say, that’s all. It’s not completely arbitrary when it’s the Supreme Court of a state, but I understand your premise. For now I wait and see what shakes out.
@Bobbythegreat@KellyScaletta Except Section 3 requires no legislation, criminal conviction, or other judicial action in order to effectuate its command. That is, Section 3 is 'self-executing.' - though it would certainly help. (Ref In Re Griffin)
For years I was completely detached from life.
I called it: being on my spaceship.
How I Got Out Of Dissociation:
I feel into a pattern of dissociating at a young age. I would look like I was there, but I was lost in my my mind. Numb. And a million miles away.
It wasn't until my partner said to me "are you really here?" when I realized my lack of presence was known.
I'd always wondered why I lacked memories.
I had almost no memories of my childhood and when friends brought up things I just couldn't remember the way they did.
At one point I thought I had a rare brain disorder (no joke.)
Finally, I started studying functional freeze. Most people have heard of fight or flight. Freeze when our body becomes dissociated to stay safe.
We're physically present but mentally gone.
Getting out of my dissociated state meant pattern interruptions. Getting out of autopilot...
I started a morning routine of journaling.
Next, I created a conscious check in. One time of day where I was fully in my body. Nothing all smells, sounds, and sensations around me. I had to teach myself it was safe to be in the moment. I still teach this 7 years later in @selfhealerscirc
Next, I prioritized sleep and nutrition. I put myself to bed really and woke up early. We're more likely dissociate when our body is low on resources. Which is why sleep and nutrition are key in healing this pattern.
If you dissociate, you're not alone. You do not have a disorder. Your body its trying to protect you.
You can come out of the frozen state and start to live again with small steps every day.
Retweet for awareness.
If you think fast food jobs are for teenagers, then don't expect to get fast food between the hours of 10 PM and 3 PM the next day. No more morning coffee or drive-thrus on the way to work. You can only acquire McDonald's in the early to late afternoon. Sorry, you asked for it!
@JenLuvsReviews I’m 35 and I still won’t curse around my Mom or Dad. I do curse around my 10 y/o, but she knows what her limitations are being a kid and knows I generally try not to talk like that. I do teach her to love and understand words.
Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda - also known as Bray Wyatt - unexpectedly passed earlier today. Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.
Over-seriousness is a trauma response.
It’s why so many adults can’t play, can’t just have fun, or go with the flow.
We’re stuck in sympathetic activation.
Our body is fighting a life and death battle.
