Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Dominique

I understand the whole not being able to speak to people. There are times when I know I need to tell someone something, I think of it and what I need to say, and don't. It's like I can't turn on my voice to just say what needs to be said. Sometimes it turns out bad because I didn't say something. For example, when I was a Girl Scout Leader (not a good one, by the way), I was going over events the troop was going to be doing and I totally didn't tell this mom about a horseback riding event. The time came and this woman's daughter wasn't able to go. She asked me, "How did we miss this when we were going through everything?" My answer? "I don't know." But I did know. It's because I couldn't make myself say anything about it. Now, why I couldn't find my voice? That I don't know.
