I accidentally grabbed a calendar instead of a journal.

Today, I am taking a life saving drug for suicidality and suicidal ideation. I started the medication during my residential trauma treatment.

I fought to get better.
Even clawing at insurance’s door while I was in residential.

Today I still receive the actual life saving medicine.

Because I fought.

I remember that day when I wondered,”do we get anything without fight while healing from trauma.”

The answer is no.
We fight.
We are fighters.

Healing from trauma comes with a lot of “no” and “that’s going to take a while.”

We fight insurance and memories.
While we hold close hope and healing.

Be gentle with those around you.
We never know what somebody is fighting for.
Love your people, people.
