With all of which has been happening lately in regards to past sexual harassment and rape revelations I would like to take this moment to connect with all of you who are survivors and are now suffering from PTSD -which is resurfacing due to the news:
•You have the right to turn the news off. You have the right to disconnect from the Internet for sometime. You are not a bad person for doing so. Self-care and self-love is tremendously important in your journey to heal.
Be selfish, you deserve it!
Be selfish, you deserve it!
•You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. No one is entitled to request your PTSD status, your general or specific mental health status and why the news may be upsetting.
The fact that so many women are raped and harassed daily should be upsetting to everyone anyway!

•If your PTSD is getting bad or out of control, please, seek support. Either professional or from your loved ones. There are even online resources where you can receive support for free.
•Lastly, it is ok to block people and disassociate yourself from them if their behaviour, words or actions are a trigger to you. You do not have to tolerate anything/anyone that/who is harmful to your mental or physical health.
Stay safe & take care!
