There's so many things you learn the first time you go through any experience. Why would you not want to be in a place where all of the modalities to keep you safe, the knowledge to keep you safe, all of that stuff is there if you need it? I don't want to find myself or my friends in a position, again, where we have no recourse, really.

At the end of the day, you have to be confident in your choices and you have to do what you think is best for you, but recognize that there are implications and I'm living proof, all the survivors are living proof that there are a lot bigger implications than just physical harm. There's psychological harm that's going to reverberate for a long time.

One thing that Kristen said that stuck with me so deeply was that she talked about generational trauma. It cut me deeply. That is another point of guilt, honestly, that I carry with me is that my son didn't deserve that. He didn't deserve a mom that wasn't emotionally available anymore.

that was in tears all the time, that couldn't handle his screams, that couldn't love on him the way that he needed to be loved on. That pains me so much that that was, again, taken from me. That was something that was stolen. I couldn't even look at my notes. The anxiety that I felt having to look at my notes was excruciating. It was overwhelming. It's a piece of paper with words on it.

Why does this matter to me so much? But I think I was afraid of reading the numbers, the words, And finding something else hidden in those words that was wrong, that I hadn't caught before. Sharing the story was the same way. It was like, I don't want to relive those memories. I don't want to think about it. I just want to put it in a box and walk away and just forget about it. But I couldn't.

And part of me worries that when I share my story too much, it sounds like I'm complaining or whining. I'm a broken record. There's this big, yucky pit in my heart that's just like brimming with the emotion of I don't know how else to say it. I'm searching for this salve for my heart, this big gaping wound in my heart. Sharing my story, it helps a little bit.

Hi, thank you so much for taking my call. So my current situation is I recently turned 30. I lost my job four months ago. And right now I'm living with friends on EBT and have state insurance. Okay. And I'm also in $42,000 a day. And so I've been actively on the hunt for a job, but I just haven't had any luck.
