You Are Not Alone Radio Show

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

Patricia posted today about her 4th anniversary of blogging, and included a link to a recent radio show she was part of with other survivors/bloggers. If you’ve been around here any time at all, of course, you know the title of the show sparked my interest. I first started a website, those many years ago, on the topic of being a survivor for exactly that reason, to let folks know that we aren’t alone.

It’s quite an interesting discussion, I highly suggest checking it out yourself:

    It can be difficult to live in uncertain times. That old phrase, “May you live in interesting times,” is really more of a curse than a blessing. We can’t change the times we live in, and even if we could, there will always be uncertainty. We can, however, ground ourselves in the knowledge and confidence that we will, regardless, survive it. 

  • Sharing – How Trauma Changes The Brain, According To Experts

    I think this says a lot about the things we hear about survivors often. Their testimonies are riddled with muddled memories, they have a hard time not being hyper-alert all of the time, and they can often have difficulty with mood swings, and emotional outbursts.

    I think it’s also important to recognize that for the last year, many of us have also been living with various amounts of trauma. COVID-19, racial and gender violence, political violence, etc, just to name a few things that we’ve all been exposed to in overwhelming fashion, and that trauma is having an impact on our brains, as we speak.

  • Sharing – Pandemic Leaves Some Struggling with Survivor Guilt at Work

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Yet, despite all the things I don’t have to deal with, I’m freaking exhausted. I’m constantly overwhelmed with trying to find ways I can help all of the people I know who are dealing with all of these things directly, and frustrated that I can’t really help in most cases.

    And, let’s face it, the world is a mess right now. There is so much uncertainty about everything. Even if, like me, you’ve been lucky enough to continue working, and stay healthy, there’s no guarantee that won’t change tomorrow, or that someone close to you won’t get sick, or lose their job. In the midst of all that uncertainty, I think it;s OK to admit that I am both grateful for what I have and where I am, but still not OK.

    I don’t think anyone right now, can be faulted for not being OK, so I also don’t think any of us should feel guilty about it either.

    Raise your hand if you’re also dealing, but not really OK?
