A handwritten list on lined paper titled "UNEASY FEELINGS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT WHEN YOU ARE HEALING...". It details nine points, including feeling alone, random anger/sadness, sensitivity, unpredictable sleep, avoiding small talk, standing up for oneself, discomfort around negative people, reliving trauma, and feeling lost. The bottom left corner shows 'lemon8 @shireenjturner' and 'Shireenhovas' on the right.
