For those dissociative trauma survivors struggling with the serious side of Halloween…
Insist on your safety this weekend, and battle to stay far far away from anyone that may want to hurt you.
Don’t go there. Decide to be in a calm and gentle place of your own preference, not in a scary, abusive, or traumatic environment.
Protect yourself and your insiders by finding something else to focus on in your day, evening, and weekend.
Safety first!
The stupid decorations and halloween candy be back in the stores. It be every where. It only be september! Why cant people WAIT! October be the worstest month of the year. This year it feel like it gona be worser than usual. Cant people wait til it already be october to start getting out the dumb halloween stuff out?? š We be dreading it already. We always be so alone in october. We wish we could skip it. Why do people even like it in the first place?
Hi Rylie,
Funny that we should be talking here!
I sure do hear that October is a hard, hard, hard month for you and so many others. That was not my experience but my heart goes out to all of you who suffered through the evils of this month.
But, I know that y’all are going to the P4 conference in October Rylie. For folks that find October a really hard month to get through, the conference sure can be a bright light and something to look forward to. Maybe it will help to bring some happy memories to the month. And, maybe too you can just keep telling yourself that you are going to have fun at the conference every time that you see any of that Halloween stuff!

My thoughts are with all of you who have experienced terrible times in this time of the year. I am grateful not to have experienced ritual abuse, not be frightened by Halloween, but my thoughts are really with you who have.. wish you all the best, safety, warmth and strength. Please, hold on..it can be save now..you can take care for yourself and your inner people. Know that you are not alone, that there are more survivors and more people also thinking of you..
Wanted to let you know.. take care!

What a crappy f*%king week. No! A crappy f*%king month. All of it. From beginning to end. That is all.
Hello. Lawrence
A month is almost over. I like to always tell myself tomorrow will be a new page in my book of life. Every day is a new start. I canāt change what happened today but thereās hope for tomorrow. Keep your eye looking forward head held high Lawrenceās . Take a look at the world around you.
TY Lori,
Gotta remember to look with our outside eyes.
Dear Lawrence,
I really do not have anything more to say then what Lori has already written. There is no other way to slice this crap cake. It is just a really hard time of the year. Take out all of your safety nets and coping tools and put them to work. That might mean hiding out in your safe place until the month is done. Whatever it takes (short of anything harmful to you) to get through this.
You did a good job writing here. Keep your lifeline tethered to our DD rock here and know that I hear you, I am thinking of you and I am sending positive, gentle, safe energy your way.
