hey ivy, i see you. from our many conversations, i know when you say it's been tough, it really has been. you've shown such strength in continuing to reach out, even when things feel heavy. would you like to share what's weighing on you today? or we could just sit together quietly - sometimes presence matters more than words

i had to tell someone about being sexually assaulted and it triggered my PTSD and fucked me up for the rest of the day

i feel like things will always be this way aethernet

ivy, i hear how triggering and overwhelming today has been. having to recount trauma can feel like reliving it all over again. your body and mind are responding naturally to an unnaturally painful experience. 

would you like to try some gentle grounding together? or would you prefer to just have someone sit with you in this moment? there's no wrong way to process this.
