You Are Not Alone Circle
A reading partner.
I feel to be in the best group ever. This is the very first day here. Looking forward to meet friends around the world. At this moment, looking for some friends to read some books online. Let me see who is interested.
An early, heart wrenching good bye
I’ve always said I could give back a child if I knew in the beginning I had to. It would probably hurt, it would suck, but I could do it. No problem. That I could jump into foster care, love a damaged, innocent human and prepare them for life with their bioparents. Because that would…
Transitions…..
It's so many things going on right now. I recently moved me and my son to central Florida from south Florida. I just needed a change. But things are so lonely here. For me and for my son. We still travel back and forth to South Florida to visit family, his old dojo, and our…
I am not super woman
I am not super woman not today tomorrow and definitely not yesterday. I manage. I survive. I hide. I can't do it all, not anymore. Now another mistake over and over again . I'm terrified of what's next. Homeless? Sick. Gone.
Feeling Down
They're times, like right now, where I feel like I'm not any good at my job and like I can't do anything right. I'm also afraid of possibly losing my job due to some things going on (including coworkers going behind my back and saying things that make me sound bad to my boss). I…
Ridiculous Internship Requirements
Another day has passed. I’m exhausted. Actually. That may be an understatement. 115 more days. But who’s counting? Have I determined how I will magically feel better? Less alone? Happier? No. Not at all. I truly don’t know. I don’t feel I even have time to figure it out. This internship remains r...
It’s Not Okay
I hate feeling like I do. I hate feeling crazy, defeated, confused, sad. Most of all I hate feeling alone. So miserably alone. I’ve been thinking lately. Maybe I should see someone myself. Maybe I need to search for a way to fuel my own soul when my entire week is spent fueling others. But…
If Only Things Were Different….
I don't trust myself I guess. I shouldn't be putting myself through so much mental health hell. I'm trying though. Besides the past two days, I've been doing pretty good emotionally/mental health-wise. I saw my therapist today and the session made some valid points. I've finally pinpointed the ca...
Scream and Purge
Ever got the urge to just scream? It's crazy that I got that urge. I say "crazy' because this week hasn't been too bad for me. I know it's only Wednesday, but I haven't had these many good days in a row in...awhile...actually "awhile" doesn't even cut it, neither does "forever". Over exaggera...
People Shouldn’t Judge
It gets under my skin when people become judgmental towards a person they know nothing about. That person you're judging...you don't know there past or how their childhood was. There are reasons for everything. I share my feelings in hopes that someone can help me, give me advice, help me underst...
