SPFPP 310: Challenging Your Triggers AND Mine

First, if you have yet to take the ongoing HSV Survey, please do so. My goal is 2k responses per year. Next, mark your calendars for May 23, 2024 for Something Positive for Positive People's five year anniversary. We'll celebrate with a day long virtual herpes stigma conference where we'll present the survey findings at. I'll share details as we lock in some guest speakers and start ticket sales.

SPFPP herpes support groups meet on Mondays at 7:30pm eastern time.

Ok, now for the episode description:

I have finally learned the lesson of why it is so important to have boundaries and to take care of and prioritize myself AND THEN prioritize Something Positive for Positive People/others. It only took for the same lesson to knock me upside my head from different people a few more times before I got it.

I go into some detail about recent experiences that led to the creation of new boundaries I am upholding. If you want support, the options above are available to you. Outside that if you still want support or a call of some sort, I have to see that you're even somewhat invested in SPFPP before we can go into your experiences/story by seeing proof of a donation before we set up a time to talk.

Now having the SPFPP book, this herpes stigma survey, herpes support groups AND the SPFPP virtual herpes stigma conference to work on, I am choosing to focus my efforts exclusively on what supports these three things within appropriate boundaries. So if I seem like a little bit of a jerk to you it's because I know the quality of my work, support, and my organization to know it's worth being more forward on how serious I take this work.
