Bio
Hi! I've had a member account since 2015. I've had a bunch of issues that started after a car accident in 2014. I have PTSD and other anxiety issues. It's nice to look back and see how far I've come since then, but there's still so much farther I have to go... little steps!! I have more systems in place and coping skills I can rely on. I'm seeing a therapist and doing my best to take care of myself. 7 cups is a great place, and I am so thankful to have found it and all the truly amazing people here!

Fun stuff about me:
I love dancing, drawing, astronomy, environmentally friendly stuff, flowers, trees, nature

Maybe I'll start sharing

...See more Part of me wants to share something and part of me really doesn't. It's been over 2 years since my traumatic event, but I've still never told anyone everything. I've written parts down in my journal, and I've shared some with a couple friends, 1 caring teacher, and once with a small group of people when I was in a weird mood and started explaining why I carry a swiss army knife with me and ended up saying a lot more than I meant to. So, maybe it'll be easier if I share just a little every now and then... Trigger warning: car accident descriptions! I was in a bad car accident 2 years ago, on July 3rd, 2014. It was a rollover accident. We rolled over 2 and 1/4 times. Writing this makes me so nauseous!! When I'm in a car now, and we go around a curve fast, I freak out. Sometimes I hyperventillate, sometimes I have a flashback, sometimes I feel like I'm going to black out, somtimes I feel like all the blood has been sucked out of my legs and they don't exist. I've had to be in a car on a highway a lot recently, so this has been happening a lot. Okay, I think that's all I can handle. Bye!
