...See more If you are still out there... Hello, my friend 🤗 Life has been busy, but I've not forgotten about you. I hope you're doing well. My life has been busy with my daughter and her friends. I just threw a Beetlejuice themed party for them. We had cake, watched the movie, played 5 Nights At Freddy's and I even dressed up as Beetlejuice. These kids are keeping my depression away, and I'm enjoying cosplaying various different characters for my ***. Anyway... I still think of you from time to time. You were always so thoughtful and supportive of not only me, but everyone. Sending peace, love, and happiness 🤗

...See more If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, don't give up! You've gotten this far in life and you can go all the way if you just keep trying. I had a two year depression wave and I was afraid I'd be in it forever. I went to a therapist, who ended up being such a good fit for me and we're actually "breaking up" (lol) in December because she feels that I'm ready to go it alone now. I'm gonna miss her, but I'm ready. When I was in the wave, things like taking a shower, combing my hair and just going through the daily motions were so difficult. I worried about everything and felt so overwhelmed. I even "did some time" in the cuckoo's nest (Behavioral Health Unit) and met some interesting characters. One lady, who was schizophrenic thought she knew me and I played along because I saw her get mad at someone and I didn't want to upset her, but she was so kind to me. She inspired me to improve myself and gave me a book of inspirational quotes before I left. Another young man called me a MF-er for not giving him my popsicle, but I just laughed on the inside. Anyway...I'm also overweight and am seeking the weight loss surgery and they put me on a stimulant called Phentermine that gave me my energy back. I had also been on Anti-psychotics, antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds that helped in their way too, but I had to try different ones and doses before we found the right ones that worked for me. And for now...I'm doing just fine. I've spruced up my home and made my bedroom cozy so I can relax enough to go to sleep. Bought some nice new bedding. Started fixing my hair and dressing nicer again. I even lost 17 lbs so far. I feel pretty good. Hopefully it lasts for a long time, but if it doesn't and another wave hits, I'll know that there is hope and like life itself, it's just a temporary cycle. Good luck to all of you and may you find happiness in the little things

...See more I'm feeling really sad about Mama's passing today. Lots of crying and my heart racing. I wish I didn't have so much to do this week so I could just lay down and take a break. I feel bad that I couldn't afford a memorial service for my mom. Just the cremation, which was her wish. My Aunt who came with me to view Mama at the funeral home yesterday said she would talk to the rest of the family and see about coming up with the money to have one. Still...I would feel bad that I couldn't come up with the money. @bestVase7265 how was your day? P.S. My daughter made banana bread that she didn't like in her kids baking class today and she was complaining that the class is boring. It's so hard to please her. I tried to sign her up for something fun for the summer and I guess it isn't good enough. She said no to soccer and other suggestions.

...See more Everytime my birthday comes I tell myself that I'm leveling up in the game of Life. I have stronger armor, a long list of skills, and more potions than ever. I'm happy to get older/survive this earthly world. My hit points are high and it takes alot to knock me down. I know how to persevere through pain. I have a disabled parking permit, natural silver highlights, and unwanted facial hair that I battle regularly. I am a daughter, mother, friend, and a lover. I'm happy to wake up and breath every day and I'll continue to feel that way with every passing day until the Final Boss calls me home. So...how are you?

...See more I have been placed on something called the restricted recipient program because my insurance thinks that I visited the ER too many times/unnecessarily during the pandemic. I had like so many months of wheezing and illness and the meds they gave me weren't working. Anyway...I've been sick and wheezing recently and couldn't get in to see my doctor so it was suggested that I go to the urgent care. I went and the xray showed that I have pneumonia. Now I have to wait for my doctor to approve my meds because the urgent care doctor isn't on the list of prescribers. So many hoops to jump through just to get the meds I need to feel better. I'm so frustrated.
