I am incredibly passionate about the upcoming anthology, "Help Me Get Off This Island: Experiences With PTSD," so much so that I've been working more than my health can actually tolerate. I said in my last post that I finally reached a point where I'm personally no longer ashamed about my assault. At the same time, though, my PTSD is still a daily struggle. When I began this project a couple of months ago, I didn't have the foresight to see that this process would include routine triggering events.
Pandora's box has been opened.
None of this makes me any less enthusiastic about the book, nor any less willing to put my whole being into it. I just have to figure out what works for me. I have The PTSD Workbook and The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook, and I need to spend time for myself working through them.
But never fear-- this book will be amazing and I believe it will help so many people in the long run. I'm willing to wander through the remains of chaos that Pandora stored in her box in order to make this book the best it can be.
