Bio
Hi I will be 50 this month (Feb2016). I live in MD and have been separated for 2 yrs after 20 yrs. I have 2 beautiful furry girls (Kittykane n Delia) who are sisters. We are all still grieving the loss of their momma cat (my soul kitty Sasha) on May 7th). I used to be a wild child but life and consequences of running around in my younger days has taken its toll. So now I'm just a boring overweight middle aged lonely girl in an old woman's body. I had major back surgery in 2009 (3 lumbar cages) which puts me in mostly constant pain and was dx with CFS 2 yrs ago but am not really sold on that dx. I just know I get super tired (not like sleepy) and have to manage my energy reserves these days. I like movies and staying in bed in comfy jammies whenever I can but my job is demanding and the drive is long. I'm completely addicted to The Walkind Dead series. Have a high level of anxiety and worry/obsession and low self esteem and PTSD (lots of abuse as a child) and lean towards depression, but am making progress with managing my self talk/inner voice. FINDING 7 CUPS HAD BEEN A GAME CHANGER FOR ME. A WONDERFUL GIFT. Having given up on traditional therapy I have HOPE now. This new beautiful non-traditional movement may be the key. I hope to be in a position soon to provide comfort and give back what has so generously been given to me.
Yikes...this is way too long? I'm sorry. I will look at how others do their intro and come back soon with a more appropriate intro. I just wanted to put something (anything) on here.

...See more First let me say thank you seven cups you're awesome! I have a question regarding the videos in the topic sections as well as some of the medications included. Is there anywhere to include a thumbs-up or thumbs-down similar to a YouTube format? Or what if you have confusion regarding a specific video in a topic area that seems to have nothing to do whatsoever to the topic? Or possibly even an area to make suggestions for other helpful videos for guided meditations.. Thanks

...See more Feeling guilty for kicking him out yet again. My husband and I have been separated for 2 years due to his substance abuse and his lying. He said he's been getting his act together and things would change and he would come over to help me out with some things around the house. I asked him not to smoke in the house and when he came up stairs I smelled cigarettes. I asked him to promise not to smoke in the house so when I smelled cigarettes on him he said yes he have a cigarette and I said so you mean snuck uea cigarette. We went around and around in circles and I explained that he was showing me that not only could I not trust him but that he lied about it too so I kicked him out. But it's cold out and it's 11 degrees and I feel incredibly guilty and he's making me feel incredibly guilty for what he feels is an argument over just a cigarette. Am I being too harsh I thought I was being strong for putting my foot down and not tolerating even the slightest of lies anymore but it's cold and now I'm worried about him he does not drive or have a cell phone
