Hey:
Sorry for being MIA, I had to deal with 10 days of horrendous side effects of the pokey pokey. I literally had tensed up neck muscles pain, terrible body aches, and five days' worth of migraines. Fun times.
Anywho, I wanted to share important advice that I've got from my counsellor, that has stuck with me, which is that none of the things that I had gone through was ever my fault. The people who are hurting me are the ones that need help the most. They may not know how to ask for assistance, but it is not my responsibility to fix it for them.
