It’s Vertigo again bringing you something different as always… this one is a fun bluesy belly dance piece to a funky remix by Gnarles Barkley, I think You’re Crazy…
I have struggled with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) since my sexual assault 5 years ago (this month). PTSD means I overreact, have high anxiety, high stress, high fear and low trust as well as many health and pain issues and it causes me to really struggle on a daily basis. But burlesque and belly dance saved me, and brought me back to my body. This dance brings me so much self love, so much hope and satisfaction, it brings me back to life and forget all of my problems. Whenever I have a bad day, I bring it back to the stage and create a performance. It helps me focus inward instead of on the exterior problems.
This song is dedicated to all the people that felt the need to point the finger at me and call me crazy during a time I was breaking down rather than offer some form of mental health support/ help or to stay neutral and say nothing. I had to get strong on my own, for we live in a culture that does not back up the woman but the predator. Well I think you’re crazy. Women have immense worth and women are telling the truth. Sending so much love and light to any violence survivors, this piece is for you.
