Me Elsewhere

If you’re interested in a little interview I did recently with the founder of the No Longer Silent Movement, you can check it out over on their blog.

As I mentioned before, I think it’s a great thing that Nicolette is trying to reach survivors at a young age. So many of us went through such pain and misery in our adult years because we didn’t get help, or tried to keep our issues secret. How I wish survivors would not do that to themselves! Hopefully, giving them a role model (Not that I consider myself a role model, but I am someone who survived, and has overcome an abusive past) will let them know that they are not alone, and are on a path that others have taken before them.

    Someone you know is likely struggling with anxiety. Likely, many of you are, too, just like I am. With general anxiety running rampant across society right now, we can also assume that a large portion of social anxiety is going around too.

For me, it’s been a sincere hug or smile upon seeing me. It’s an immediate reminder that this person wants to be with me. There is an undeniable feeling that seeing me makes them happy.

    Since we currently have somewhere in the area of a foot and a half of snow on the ground, I’m feeling very glad to have the President’s Day holiday off work. We don’t have to go anywhere today, and it looks like the most logical thing to do in this weather is exactly that, go…

    For those of you who have been following things over on the Tech Blog, you already know that I passed my A+ Certifications on Monday. That’s a relief!!! I did, however, find it odd that I got so stressed out about them. I can remember in HS being so incredibly good at taking tests that…

    Yesterday I got a physical reminder of why it’s important to keep stress levels low by finding ways of coping with stress better. Most days I do this fairly well, but yesterday there were a number of issues at work and people I either needed to get information to, or get information from, or get…
