...I know it is difficult. I myself have had others offer to help me in that regard, because I’ve had specific traumatic experiences come up again here.

Re: day 328
There's a big difference between enduring something and seeing a glimpse of it.
As long as it's not being buried alive, I'll be fine.
I THOUGHT I REPLIED TO THIS
...Oh. I'm... I'm so sorry. That sounds horrible.
