The "I Need A Hug" Thread

I lost a potential relationship before it even began. At least in part to my PTSD, the patterns in my life that began long ago, were at the root of things falling apart so quickly. I need a hug or three!

Hi, Changing4Best.

I'm sorry for the loss of a potential relationship. Trauma sucks. PTSD sucks.

The good news is there are many other potential opportunities for new relationships.

In the meantime, here are a bunch of hugs. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
 
Had a couple of good days then a nightmare again last night. Woke up feeling upset and small. So much crying in my dream while my captor just sneered. I need a bear hug that lasts a long time while I just stand there, leaning in.

Hi, Self-Determined.

Nightmares like that really mess with our minds and our hearts. Sorry you're having a difficult time.

Here's a massive bear-hug, lean-in all you want, for as long as you need. You can cry, too, if you want. ???
 
Moving in with my parents due to disaster and quarantine has drained me, seeing the limiting and neglect on my brothers every day, the scapegoating...

I'm drained and I need a hug
 
I need the kind of hug where you see me slumped on the couch and you come over and ask me if I need a hug and I feel too defeated to say yes but you can tell I really do need one so you ask one more time and then I nod my head.
