Today, after over 10 years, I was finally given a clinical diagnosis. So much about my life, my struggles, and my feelings makes significantly more sense now. Surprisingly, I do not feel upset/ashamed - I actually feel quite validated by it. Here’s to overcoming in 2020 🦋
Thank you again for all the outpouring of love for our Ben. I can’t tell you how much it means to me and my family.
He wasn’t just my best friend – he was America’s best friend ❤️
If you’re on Twitter right now, you are not the kind of person who is going to miss out on big picture analysis long-term.
I think the thing to do today is focus on stuff that’s close, stuff you believe in, stuff you’ve gotta do, and stuff that brings you joy.
I mean, it's literally exactly what I said would happen:
1. Someone gets a ballot that randomly assigned the candidate they don't like at the top and the one they like at the bottom.
2. They run to Twitter with a photo about how the state in question is biased.
3. The tweet goes viral because people are outraged.
4. No one thinks for a moment to check how candidate order is actually determined (in CA it's randomized).
5. Suddenly a bunch of people have even less faith in systems than they had before.
IT'S THE INTERNET Y'ALL...IT IS A MONSTER THAT DEVOURS TRUST.
nearby beach goers just sent us this - taken about 10 mins before they cleared the red flag & @IsaacPoe10 was unknowingly swimming in the same spot… 👀
@DrSamiSchalk EMDR has been life changing for me. I experienced some trauma in my childhood & was genuinely living in a constant state of fight/flight until I reached young adulthood & just crashed. It’s taken a lot of time/energy/willingness to do the work, but more than worth it for me.
