The "I Need A Hug" Thread

Because sometimes, you just really need a hug.

Rules:

1) no images
2) Tell us why you need a hug. "Just cause I need one" is a good reason, too.
3) Make sure you pass out hugs to the people who posted right above you. It may be the only hug they get all day.
Hi. Today, I left my house. I didn’t want to and I did. I also sat on a bus, allowing fear to come in. I hated that I was fearful, just for being in public. And I was. I refuse to doubt it.
I watched a new movie at a theatre. I knew a reminder of my trauma was coming, because the main character had a death that created pain for her.
It’s been 18 years and I still hurt. I still feel pain and shame. I still feel guilt for witnessing my best friend’s death.
The character tried to help a woman in pain. I feel like a creep, weirdo, and all the things because layers of that has intertwined in my own life.
I have peers, a therapist and a family that loves me.
I also still needed to share with others who have PTSD as we tend to get each other more concretely.
Thanks also for reading.
