I was also diagnosed with c-ptsd due to a pretty terrible divorce less than two years ago; all told, my memory and resilience have taken a pretty big hit. If I’ve been flaky with you or dropped the ball, please know it’s not on purpose.

I think the number of people who realize this is a “real thing” is very low. Solidarity. It’s been a bit longer since mine but I still find it SO HARD to remember things. Anything.
All of this to say, I can’t really pretend everything is magically better come 2025. But I do hope I can move toward feeling like the writer and person I am again - strong, weird, passionate, intense, niche, dorky. The bitch will be back, I swear.
So sorry things have been rough for you. We’ve never met, so all I can say (and I don’t know how much it will help) is that your work as someone who writes passionately and knowledgeably about film is hugely valued. Take care.
Big hugs Christina. Hope 2025 is easier for you. (In my case, I practise unceasing self-care, which means buying Blu-rays, handbags and ridiculously expensive red lipsticks I can't afford. My current plan for when the money runs out is to get euthanised.) xxx
I've not experienced a divorce, but c-ptsd I have. I hope this year is better and you're feeling more like yourself again soon. We're all in this together, even though it's hard to feel like that sometimes. If there's any consolation in it, I appreciate your work.
