Ptsd Awareness Day Today -27th June

[SwordsPandaGirl]

Just wanted to let everyone know it is PTSD awareness day. :) To all my forum friends and to those I haven't spoken to but still consider part of my community here, STAY STRONG! We struggle so much everyday due to this but today I want you to all give yourselves credit for making it so far! We have been through hell in life and look, we're still here :) Use today to show the world we have NOT been beaten by this! We are all one BIG family here and we are NEVER alone :) Look at how much we have accomplished, whether it is in therapy, education or your own personal goals etc. We will help each other hand in hand :) Hope you are all well today! Please stay safe and remember you are all worth so much, even if you don't see it yourselves :) I see it everyday when I come on the forum. Everyone here has been a huge help to me and made me feel welcomed from day one, so please take my many thank yous! and :hug:s! :)

WHAT? We only get a DAY?!?! We deserve a MONTH! I mean January is national Mentoring month. I think we're more special than mentors! The brain injury people get February, so why don't we get all of June?!? Even athletic trainers get a month! Jazz gets a month, POETRY gets a month, and there is even an awareness month for multiple births? I didn't realize multiple births were such a big issue... Bikes get a month, pets get a month! Now I feel bad, we aren't as important as dogs... CANDY gets a month!?!!? Even Ice Cream gets a month.... And LGBT gets two months? How did that happen? I mean no offense to them, but if they start taking the whole calendar, nobody will pay any attention at all.

That was all supposed to make you laugh. I am actually glad that we get a day. Maybe one day we will get a month because this cause is that huge that it needs a whole month to let everyone know about it, not just a day. Then again, I don't know if we could take all that attention.... (ha)

On the one day saga (in hopefully good humor as well)
They were going to vote on it to be a month but the board was too stressed out.

Ok...shoot me. If I can't make fun of myself- I am dead already.:dead:
