I posted something cryptic on Facebook Saturday. It caught a
lot of attention from my tribe but it really wasn’t a big deal….
nothing like seizures, mitochondrial strokes or premature
death.
I joke because I can.
Because I have survived these things.
I watched the EEG of
my daughter explode. I have held hands in the PICU, I looked at tiny pink
casket, our tribe has buried our Littles before their time. I have gone toe to
toe with a PICU doc and won.
I am a badass. I run with Badasses; I am proud of the strong
people who have held me up and who I have held.
And yet.
At times.
Silly life shit takes hold of me. Suffocating. Like that
stupid snake in the Jungle Book. It starts at my ankles, moves up my knees, my
tummy, constricts my heart and looks me straight in the eyes. Sings to me and
lulls me into a sense of doubt, confusion and negativity. Trust in me…..just in me….
I hate it.
Because silly shit is not worth suffocating over. I buried
two babies and still managed to put my pants on and brush my teeth.
Silly shit is not worth
it.
But I think all of us who have suffered trauma deal with
this; cars cut us off, people are jerks, friends disappoint us, egos get in the
way, Facebook pisses us off. These are not life and death situations. But in my
mind, I expect the inconsequential to roll off my back and when it does not, it
rattles me more.
I could place a cath
in 10 seconds and I never gave it a thought. Why does this rattle me?
Perhaps this is the evolving trauma process…..what
do we do when real life makes us crazy.
After we put our pants on, brush our teeth, go to work,
cross the street….what happens next?
And really, I don’t post this as cause for alarm.
Because cause for alarm is another issue. I sometimes feel us going through all of this are afraid to post our struggles, because we don't want to cause alarm. We are okay, really. We cry in ours cars, we get sad but we are here, really we want nothing more than to relish in joy and live our live..
So a question for all of us integrating back into real life; what are your tools? What are
your tricks for dealing with the silly shit? I invite all ideas J
Happy Spring!

As a sign of gratitude on how my son was saved from autism, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My son suffered autism in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication,and he always complain of poor eye contact . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who have the cure to autism . I never imagined autism has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.autism has a cure and is a herbal cure,you can contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get this medication, Thanks.
