Free yourself. . .
Ash:
1. What do you need to learn but won’t admit to?
I need to learn how to take care of myself better. I am definitely lacking in the self-love area of my life. I'm way too hard on myself.
2. If you could erase one event from your life, which one would you choose? Briefly describe the event, tell us why you would erase it.
I would erase the event that caused my 2 week panic attack. That was really awful and I'm still recovering from it.
3. Who drains your energy, and why do you let it happen?
My big sister. I don't let her do it as much as I used to. I don't spend as much time with her anymore. I let it happen because she's my sister and I love her. She's just really hard to deal with most of the time.
4. Do you practice ‘self-love’ or ‘self-loathing’?
Oh, I'm excellent at self-loathing. It's one of the things I do best. I'm trying to turn that around though.
5. What must you do daily to keep yourself ‘sane’?
Cuddle with Husband. When I'm in his arms, I feel like I'm able to let go of all the things that are stressing me out.
Bonus: Who do you blame?
I blame my step-dad. He's the cause of most of the anxiety and stress in my life. His abuse created the C-PTSD that I struggle with today.
Husband:
1. What do you need to learn but won’t admit to?
I feel like the big thing I need to learn is that I am allegedly attractive. It's hard for me to see it, and to own it. I think a lot of it has to do with a modesty and humbleness that I can never seem to shake.
2. If you could erase one event from your life, which one would you choose? Briefly describe the event, tell us why you would erase it.
I think it would be the night my dad and mom came home from a party and my dad was over the top drunk and angry as hell about something. There was great potential for violence that night. I remember my dad slamming a can of baked beans on the counter or table and it exploded. I vaguely remember my mom calling the police, and then herding us into our playroom where we sat on the floor huddled up blocking my dad from getting in. I remember my dad banging the door trying to get in while I stared at Castle Greyskull sitting in front of me.
3. Who drains your energy, and why do you let it happen?
People at work drain my energy. Most of the time I do my best to not let it happen, but there are days where I am weaker than most and it gets under my skin and drains me.
4. Do your practice ‘self-love’ or ‘self-loathing’?
I probably lean more towards self-loathing, but I have been trying to practice self-love more often.
5. What must you do daily to keep yourself ‘sane’?
Currently I immerse myself into my family. Without their presence and touch I would lose touch with myself and go off the deep end rather quickly.
Bonus: Who do you blame?
I blame Trump for many things these days.
