@lilykakes wrote a beautiful update but here’s the gist of where we are at in my own words:
I left Kentucky the day before Thanksgiving to stay temporarily with family in Indiana. It has been a battle since I got here due to family members fighting over me without asking my opinion, toxic family members attempting to force themselves back into my life, and my PTSD flaring badly thanks to being back in the epicenter of abuse. I wake up almost everyday in the middle of a flashback, my sleep restless with recreation dreams, and my days are full of triggers that leave me locking myself in the bathroom and having meltdowns.
Staying here is not an option. Family won’t take me in long term, I can’t get hired in this town due to everyone knowing my history, and obviously being here is not good for my mental health.
However, I am stuck at the moment due to skyrocketing ticket prices because of the holiday. I am trying to be patient and wait for them to go down but I really need out of here. I have space waiting for me at Lily’s that is safe. I just gotta get there.
Please. Please. Please. Help me.
