3-4 Squirtles in a trench with tummy troubles

I’m exhausted from my stomach issues. I’m starving so I eat, but when I eat I get pain for the rest of the day. The pain keeps me up so I don’t rest. I’m averaging one waffle and one half meal every day. I can’t keep doing this. Our medical system has me in a pain loop.

Abusers overwhelm and coerce other individuals around them to perpetuate that abuse. Don’t let the abusers pummel you into a hole. They win by keeping us overwhelmed, undervalued, and in a freeze to keep us from doing anything.

Grief is hard. Gavin’s memorial was all that he was and would have loved. “I am beautiful. I am powerful. I am enough. I will do my best.” Thank you for these words Gavin. In your name I will repeat them every day to myself.
