i'm actually non responsive to my nightmares. they wake me up but no screaming or anything

so I landed a job as a housekeeper at a hospital! my student loan came and I have enough to get an apartment. the bad news is that before I can start working I need to be able to prove my identity with a birth certificate. which means i'll have to call my parents and ask them to send it to me. I...

so my older sister (mommie dearest's biological eldest daughter) is the only family member who knows about my PTSD. She and I have always had a pretty good relationship and I've always admired her. the thing is that even though she knows about my PTSD, she doesn't really understand about it at...
