Symph, no need to thank me, my friend. I'm just so glad you were able
to look at the experience in a different perspective. You chose not to be their victim and you weren't. YOU defeated THEM. They didn't win.
YOU DID.

Symphony, my friend, I sent you an email just now
Keep your spirits up, and keep faith in yourself. You are a strong and great person, and don't ever forget that!
There are cowards in this world who may push us down; and there are kind people who try to lift us up; but either way, it is a choice. Though you might be physically pushed to the ground by someone, your mind remains far above them. Remember that, Symphony!
Take care,
Patrick

You are definitely being tested for some reason dear Symphony. This is what I try to remember in downward spirals because I usually, eventually see a reason for dark days. I believe you will too at some point. And I'd say you are coming through these bad times with courage and light. Of course, feelings of despair and helplessness are normal reactions, but I read much more between the lines. Hang in there sweet friend and remember also, you are never alone!

Could feel that something was wrong
when you had stoped poasting. I am so glad your back. You mentioned something about God not caring about you now? Symphony He does care and has his hand in caring for you. He may well be the thought you had to take a swing at them. He was the open shop for you to duck into. He was the shopkeeper that understood and got you help. He is in your MUM'S love in taking care of your children and YOU. He is most definetely there in each of our comments when we tell you how much we care.
I'll tell you like others have told me. Stay on your MEDICATION and take each day as it comes. You've got a multitude of God's angels around you - and we're not leaving till you're back on your feet - so to speak. Probabely not even then. God cares and we care. Take your time - we'll still be here.

Hey You!
You did fantastic. You were incredibly brave. Don't think you were vulnerable and weak. You did the right thing, got the hell out of there as fast as you could. A strong man would have trouble dealing with two like that. Assinine kids taking advantage of costumes to hide their appearance then pulling a Clockwork Orange.
Take care, Symphony.

Symph,
K, so like, these are situations where a witch who centers herself around doing good for others finds herself on the very edge of tempation to OPEN UP A BIG CAN OF HEXCRAFT WHOOP-ASS. Yes indeedy, my friend...But, since we don't know who the little rotten bastards are (or the nit-brained onlookers who did nothing,) let me just say that you are going through a difficult time right now, yes, but please don't forget how far you've come and how strong you really are. (Remember how you reminded me of my strength to put Brittany to rest??) Look at one aspect if anything else--You were understandably scared, you were out numbered, but what did you do? You protected your sentimental chain! Did you give it up? No. Did you use whatever you could utilize to protect & defend yourself? Yes. Did you run away without looking back? Yes. Did you bravely report it to the police? Yes.
If that is not strength, I don't know what is. Don't lose yourself or forget what and who lives inside that big heart of yours and the greatness you possess. We're here for you, always.

Symphony,
It makes me feel so sad to hear that you feel like giving up. I'm begging you not to!
Look at how far you've come, getting rid of that horrible husband and striking out on your own. It's amazing the things you have accomplished. Yes, it is a tragedy that young punks like the two you described commit violent acts and get away with it. But unfortunately that is the way the world is.
My friend, try to remember that you are not responsible for their misdeeds. And think of this: You could have gone into a panic during the mugging. But you didn't. You stood your ground and did the best you could, better than a lot of people would have done. For that you should hold your head up high and be proud.
I am very proud of you and I know that you will pull through this with flying colors. Yes, you need to get back on your antidepressants. Your brain needs time to "relearn" how to make those happy chemicals. But I know you can do this, and I know that you must not let two greedy brats destroy the progress that you've made!
It will be okay, I promise. Take care of yourself.
Remember the feather.
xoxo

That's horrible what happened to you. I'm glad to know that you are okay. I try not to go places unless I have someone with me. I used to go places by myself all the time when I was living in Korea, but now that I'm back in the States, forget about it. I don't go anywhere on Halloween unless I have someone with me because you never know who's lurking in the shadows dressed in costumes.

Awful story, shitty kids hiding behind halloween masks. So sorry you had this experience, truly I am. Now it seems I am going to have to give you another crash course in the "no negative self talk allowed" because it's starting to creep too much into your thoughts. Let what happened go, it was horrible but don't give the bastards more power by letting it take your spirit. You hear me?? Love and hugs to you, Quirky

Symph - fucking bastards should die a thousand deaths - and you, dear,
should call the doctor, tell him about it - it IS post traumatic stress - I went through it after the truck hit me - and let the doctor help you.
Let the fear feed your anger instead - get really pissed off - and determine that you are strong and good. Because you are.
I love you much - stick around and be blessed by us here.

I am VERY glad youre ok and that you're back., and NO NO NO AND NO you will not give up, I wont let you...... . horrible things happen to people. mostly good people and i used to rant, rave and even swear at God for letting me down and leaving me the joke at the end, I decided to give up many times and some friends didnt let me and only later did I see that because i didnt give up there was a reason for everything.
See this as a test, maybe God was testing your strength because you were doing great and this would show you how far you've come. I think you did great, and should not hide from the world and give up. Im proud of how far you've come and refuse you to give up, you have so much more to do in life.....
You were there for me when i needed a friend a few weeks back and wsa falling apart, and im going to be here as much as i can
Much love and many hugs
