Checking in with you vibrant Queens and wanted to start a thread where you can vent, get things off your chest, and do whatever you need to do to get support, affirmation, guidance, memes, healing, resources, and/or whatever YOU NEED to stay strong on this new path!

For me, it's been A WEEK and I had a few moments where I was feeling so anxious with the uncertainty (covid isolation awaiting contact tracing results) that I had a split second where I almost responded to a shitty LVM outreach attempt, but was reminded of how far I have come since finding this beautiful community of like-minded women! So I didn't respond and continued to ignore because that's who I am now so I REFUSE to go back now that I have a million tidbits of helpful FDS comments/threads saved. But I know it's often easier said than done, especially in the beginning when FDS starts becoming a long term lifestyle and habit.

So let it all out! Or say hi! Or offer encouragement! Be a "big sister" to a complete internet stranger and validate/empathize! Feel free to share fun facts or examples or stories. Do whatever YOU NEED to do to feel supported for the here and now so you continue onward!

If you want to think about him or questioning if you should text him or craft a response, come here. He isn't worth your time. You are worth YOUR TIME!
