Reminder that people who have seemed to be the most resilient over the past decade of upheaval are likely people who have developed coping skills through surviving past trauma. They’re also the least likely to be getting the necessary support because they’re givers of support and lots of their circle just assumes “oh they’re strong, they’re fine”

Check on the caretakers. Don’t just do so casually, because they’re used to having to say “I’m fine”. They need to be seen, appreciated, and given care just like the rest of us

@calcifer "I am strong, too strong. I unintentionally went beyond the limits of where men should, alone. Alone now, with my Burdens, for 3 yrs. I seek to make to best of my situation here in isolation."

The best I cam do is to "Know Thyself", I am bot the only one. 3 yrs and only one person askek me if I was ok. It was only months ago. I said "No, Im not. But Ill survive." (Coping)

And thats why Im here on Mastodon. To share what Ive learmed, in hopes that it holds some value to someone.
