I want to make counselors aware of a resource for survivors of many types -- mental health, trauma, and more.

LIVE, Dammit (Previously Survivors' Haven): livedammit.com/

"A mental health support site with stories, tools, a free e-course, bookstore & inspiring wearables—for stubborn souls doing the work to stay here, stay human, & stay strong."

The website allows survivors to share stories of struggle and endurance, features in-depth articles and interviews, uplifting quotes, links to outside resources, and more.

They are also on Bluesky at:
bsky.app/profile/livedammit.bs

I have added them to my Mastodon Psych Bot news feed at:
mastodon.clinicians-exchange.o

Thanks,
Michael

LIVEdammitLIVE as an act of resistance - LIVEdammitThere are days when world feels like it’s unraveling— more outrage, more grief, more fear with every headline. It’s hard to stay centered when democracy, truth, kindness, and the natural world are under attack. It’s no wonder so many of us are exhausted, asking How do I keep going? And yet—we’re still here. Still holding […]

You should respect someone's #boundaries even if you think you're being nice.

Gifts make me anxious and panicky at first, as growing up they were used to manipulate me.

I have been seeing someone and she has been paying for dates as I'm broke.

She noticed my screen was cracked, and got me a phone, which I turned down, and she kept insisting I take it until I panicked and had to leave.

She's been texting me apologizing, and I don't know what to say as I'm embarrassed.

I've been doing more healing work to recover from being abusively #blindsided by a jealous woman who I have never even met but had attempted to psychologically #blackmail my companion, after faking being nice to me. I never expected to be #suckerpunched by a woman I've never even met in person. It shook me. It traumatized me. It was NOT OK.

Never ever defend #abusive people who have violated #boundaries multiple times & harmed multiple people, intentionally.

A quote on a gray background that reads, "When it comes to abusive behavior, if they know to hide it, they know it's wrong. If they don't do it in front of other people, they know how to control it." The quote is attributed to graceisunderfire and @the_traumacoach ~ Melissa Lloyd.

These might look #lazy, but are actually reasonable strategies:

- resist pointless #tasks to create time for deep thinking,
- set #boundaries at work to avoid #burnout,
- say “no” to tasks, resisting that we should always strive to #produce more,
- automate #repetitive tasks to free up time for #creative tasks.

(3 of 3) Your #relationships should uplift you, not drain you. Choose connections that nourish your soul.

You can be #assertive and #kind simultaneously when you address concerns like these.

A considerate and Emotionally Intelligent friend will respect and understand you (they may not agree with you) and they will try their best to accommodate!

I want to hear from you. How are you protecting your peace? What boundaries have you set? Share your wisdom in the comments! Let’s create a community of empowered individuals.

What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries

1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy

If I could help non disabled people understand one thing about being disabled, it would be how important maintaining a baseline is.

When you’re chronically ill, your baseline is everything.

Even minor setbacks can be catastrophic, so we have to do a risk analysis before literally ANY activity

If you’re asking a disabled person to use valuable spoons… be prepared to hear “No”.

It’s not because they’re rude or they don’t like you or they’re “not trying enough”.

It’s because they know their body and they’ve assessed the risk of a setback to be too high.

When this happens, please respect their choice.

Imagine how hard it would be for you to constantly have to say “No” to people.

To pass up fun activities because you know you need to prioritize a medical appointment or things like cooking and cleaning.

That’s our reality. We’re working with such a small amount of resources that we have nothing extra to spare.

Boundary setting is incredibly hard, don’t make it harder for us by gaslighting and guilting us.

It’s impossible to understand until you go through it, so please take us at our word.

We’re the ones who suffer the setback. The ones who lose hard earned gains when we push too hard.

Support us, believe us, and let us say “No”
