These days, lots of triggering stuff everywhere you look. Is somebody trying to hack your personal information? Lots to be aware of.
Really, that's the operative word. Awareness. Not paralyzed by fear.
How then do you protect yourself? As a public service to our growing global trauma survivor audience, we're going to start adding new links on the left side of the main page. We can't tell you how we get some of these. But we feel it's necessary to protect ourselves (despite this being caused by trauma that's not our fault).
Do you need bodyguards? Hopefully not. Then again, online you can cover your tracks in multiple ways (everything from email to online phone services and more).
Does Wikileaks use these? To possibly a higher degree, yes they do. It's the same idea though. Don't leave an obvious trail for some security service to follow. That's not just some MSM adventure lifestyle filler. That's real security.
We're covering new job leads tonight and trying more social service sources to see if they can help us out. We will not end up homeless for a third time.
If you have any secret documents to leak, please don't send them here. Wikileaks has over 300 mirror sites to help them out. Send it to them because they're equipped to handle it. The only subject here is trauma and when necessary, some current events that are related to trauma. If you want yet another progressive political blog, please go elsewhere.
Have a fun night.

Screaming to Focus
How's your Monday? We still have to fight to focus and feel like we have some sense of balance. We'll stick to our new diet routine and see how that works.
How do you keep your sense of balance? What helps you to stay grounded? Holding onto solid things or something else?
Stay away from all triggering stuff as much as possible. You're right if you think there's nothing new going on. There isn't.

This Just In. We Still Have No Connection to Wikileaks
Just like the Wikileaks case, the rumors continue here.
Once again, we have no connection to Wikileaks. A lot here is anonymous. But:
We don't know where Julian Assange is staying (as in the street number).
We don't know what his disposable mobile number is today.
What's his Skype user name? We don't know.
Would he call us if we did? Probably not.
However, we do support him and wish him well.
Big news for today. One of our medical sources says that there's a connection between hypoglycemia and PTSD. If your blood sugar crashes, then your symptoms flare up. If your sugar is stable, then your chi is more stable. You can then better deal with your emotional symptoms.
Have you dealt with this in your healing? If you have, how has it worked for you? We're changing some of our diet around and we'll see what comes up. We'll also talk to some other sources as well.
More as it happens.

How's Your Day?
Taking a break before we go back to more job apps online.
Today there's a little more clairty at times. We still have the symptoms. But also, it makes sense to keep up on your herbal supplements and the rest of it. Junk food depletes nurtients in your body. So there has to be a connection between that and symptoms.
Do you feel like you have a better balance? What helps you to stay in a good groove throughout the day?
Stay away from all triggering stuff as much as possible. If your intuition says this is a waste of time, you're right. Listen to it.

Protect Yourself at all Costs
Just like Wikileaks, trauma survivors always have to protect themselves. Online, there are lots of free tools that you can use (in addition to the content that you post).
The basic idea is to block hackers that want to steal your personal information or out you. Don't leave any obvious dots that can be connected. You can also do things like use encrypted email, fake ISP addresses and more. Sorry, we don't give away all of our secrets.
Now, will you need to use these every day like Julian Assange and his colleagues at Wikileaks? Probably not. Then again, you can't just kick back and do nothing. Adapt this to your needs as you go along.
We're still fighting the bureaucracy and symptoms to try and keep our balance. Had lunch with a friend yesterday to talk this over. Her suggestion? Apply for everything to maximize your odds to protect yourself to be able to keep your stability.
Also though, keep in mind that in this global depression, there are social safety net tools to use. But there's also the emotional aspect of it as well:
Who goes to a food bank? Just dirt poor homeless people?
Who's on food stamps? Alcoholics or middle class people who never dreamed they'd need to use them?
We're not saying don't use these things. They're there and if necessary you do use them. But it's kind of ignorant in our opinion to just say use it and shut up. Because others who may criticize you might be on them soon as well.
Protect yourself and have a nice day.

We are not connected with Wikileaks
Hi to our growing worldwide audience. Some of the newest readers are in Stockholm, London and various parts of the States. We also have some loyal readers in Dublin and in and around London. Is Julian Assange one of our readers?
We don't know. We could actually use a tool to get a satellite view of their location. Then again, if it IS Jullian Assange, we're sure he and his crack team have ways to block us. That's ok.
But, for those who continue to spread rumors about us, we have no connection to Wikileaks.
Went to see the Supplemental Income advocate earlier today. Lots of applications and red tape to deal with. One key element? You get penalized for being responsbible and actually trying to save money. Under their system you must have less than $2,000 in your account(s). If you have more, you get penalized. This means if you want to save you have to withdraw it and stash it at home. Then again, with the banks these days maybe that's a good thing?
You can't apply for food stamps until your SSI is approved. If you need help with your rent or utilities, you must have a cutoff/eviction notice first before you apply. Also, there's no gurantee that you'll be approved.
Does this happen in other countries? Do you or anyone you know go to a food bank? Have you been homeless in the past? We've been homeless twice because of PTSD.
Keep in mind there's more going on right now than Wikileaks. Which we have no connection to.

Take Things in Tiny Segments
These days, it feels like we're getting bombarded with stimulus everywhere. We won't go thru all the triggering stuff and mess up your day. But how do you cope with it?
Turn it off. Or, just think for a second. Do I have to see this, or not? If not, turn it off. Then, there are other things you can do and be quite happy with.
Tomorrow, we'll see the SSI advisor. Then, we'll have to apply for Medicaid and food stamps. How long will this take? SSI, two months. The rest, maybe 1.
Are you dealing with anything like this? How are you coping?
