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.
