Hey there Bitchin' Blanket fans! I have been off line for a little while. I struggle daily with PTSD from MST. In other words... Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from Military Sexual Trauma. I was assulted by another service member early on in my military career.
With that being said, I have many daily struggles. One of those is anxiety. I have anxiety that causes me to shake, get migraines, irrational thoughts, sweating, heavy breathing... you name it and I probably do it. Going out in public is one of my biggest issues with anxiety.
Public places is where I need to go to get fabric, thread, supplies. But I can't seem to bring my self to go out lately. Which means I haven't been creating blankets as often. It also makes me embarassed to respond to messages. I am afraid to say "yeah I can do that", but never leave my house to get the things I need to make it.
So this is my PSA to my fans and any one that follows my page. I am truly sorry if I have not responded to your messages. I am working on getting to a better place in my life. So I can continue to make beautiful blankets for the world to see. Positive thoughts and prayers are always welcome.
Much Love,
A. A. Baylis
