My Survivor Needs Meme
I’ve been tagged for a meme by Rising Rainbow.
Rules of the “Survivor Needs” Meme:
Please link back to the originating meme at Survivors Can Thrive , so people can see its origins, get ideas for their own self-care list, see who’s already been tagged, and maybe we can track how far this meme goes.
List 25 needs and 5 wants. Try to restrict your needs list to things that have to do with being a survivor of some sort of abuse, assault, etc. Your list can be anything…you want! Use this list to remind yourself to get your needs met this New Year.
Pass on this meme and tag five people to play this meme with you.
- I need:
- to stop opening up the past
- to like and love me
- to speak my mind
- to sleep ALL night
- to trust myself
- to stop comfort eating
- to stop saying it is OK when it isn't
- to stop wishing for the impossible
- to show my feelings
- to stop pretending I am happy all the time
- lots of love and hugs
- to see my son and grandson more
- to take up a hobby
- to start to socialise
- to feel wanted
- to be able to say NO
- to take more care of myself
- to feel safe in crowds
- to spend more time with my friends
- to listen and take heed of good advice
- to stop feeling that I am being watched
- to feel that strangers aren't talking about me
- to widen my comfort zone
- to look after me
- to have my man and my dog by me always
I Want:
- to stop cruelty to all humans and animals in the world.
- for everyone to feel safe and loved
- to eat less
- to be me
- to have no money worries
I need to pass this on to 5 people, some of the people who I would like to ask to take part do not blog, but I will ask them to do this - so I ask Biddie, Marmitey, Elizabeth, Trish, SH and SB.

Katy, thanks for doing this. You and Kahless were quick. It took me weeks to get mine done.LOL
You have some great things on your list. I always seem to see stuff on other's lists that I think I should have on mine. But I guess if it's changing all that time, that's easy enough to fix. LOL
It will be interesting to watch where it goes from here. I think that Marj is tracking them all.
Great list, I hope you do get your needs met this year.
Of course I don't want you to remove your header photo! It has grown on me and I am kinda falling in love with the little elf baby. What is the babies name? Is that your husband when he was a baby?;) You know I am just kidding you!
Love the list!!!!!! I would love the no money worries part. Ugh. I can't even imagine not having to worry about money.
"to stop feeling that I am being watched"
Oh sorry! I didn't realize you could sense me being there like that. I'll get a better set of binoculars so I can stay further back. LOL ;-)
I did my list last night and I always have a few on a friday night, so I see your list and think... I need that too!
Great List Katy and I think people watch me too!
Wow.... great list.......
I'll have to sleep on it and have a think..... I dont really have many needs and even fewer wants LOL....
But I promise to have a think and get back to ya....
And I dont know what Im supposed to of survived :) never looked at meself as a surviver, just always looked at meself as having drawn the short straw, but then short straws have just great sucking power :) lol

I know how you feel with #22. I can't even go to an American (true and real) football game. Everytime the team goes into a huddle I think they are talking about me.
whoa that baby is creepy! you may have lightened up my day, but now my night is pretty much screwed!
Bumps into someone. Oh Jay...what are YOU doing here?
Great list!
Start saying NO! It's very empowering!
That was a great list, Kate! I think that #24 should have been closer to the top, though :)
my first visit since you changed your header. It just fits you. It just does!!
Made me smile.
Oh.. and.. um... I'm watching you!
You were brave doing this meme. Kahless has tagged me and i iwll try to do it for next lazy Sunday. I have done and posted your tag today.
An interesting meme and a great list!
This is a very thoughtful list. I can seem myself in many of these. Wouldn't it be great if everyone felt safe and loved? We can only hope.

Thanks for playing this meme with us...and for tagging others to play. I've read lots of these now and your list still has some "Oh, I wish I had thought of that one" items on it.
BTW, I always feel like I'm being watched, too. I'm glad you had the courage to include that one.
Great work and great list!
I enjoyed that, thank you for sharing!
