Don't worry about anyone other than yourself right now...it sounds like you've been through a lot of * yesterday. I really am sorry to hear that. Rest easy San<3

Hey...don't be too hard on yourself. You've done a lot, and it sounds pretty frustrating to have to slow down, but try to be patient with yourself. Also, good luck on that trip. I hope you brought a book or something to keep yourself entertained:)

I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety, and your ex friend. Whatever went down might have exasperated it, and understandably so. Making genuine connections with people is so hard when you were brought up thinking you were unsafe and unwanted wherever you went. I hope you find some way to ease the anxiety. You aren't alone here. Take care <3

Getting your MSW AND a b.a. in psychology?? Thats a huge deal and definitely something to be proud of...It sounds like you've lived a pretty accomplished life san... I'm seriously impressed! 

wowowow...whales!? That's going to be one * of an adventure. I hope that week to yourself is every bit as good as today was. You deserve it San

Clearly this was physical abuse, and I'm sure you already know that. Minimization of your own pain / doing something to provoke a reaction out of your mother isn't in any way abnormal. You were a child. You didn't know how to deal with that situation, and whatever reason caused you to say the things you did is completely valid. Don't put yourself down, Twinkletoes Youre doing good.
