Write something innocuous in the first line. then leave some spaces between in and the subject matter. this should take care of accidentally triggering someone.
How and Why to Report a Post
I'm back to where I was over a month ago. I am so sick of being invalidated, patronized, and made to feel as if I do not matter. The same BS, over and over... the only change is in the place, time, and players. All else repeats. Housing, Men, Psych, T, Stepps, all of it. I'm fed up with their lies. I am just a business, a paycheck and I do not delude myself to think otherwise. Fake caring, fake praise... as Dem would say, it is what it is...
Housing violates my rights and my lease and my psych states... maybe I should move... My T says, well, it's to be expected it is public housing. I should pick my battles. They not only invalidate me, they make me feel that I am the problem... I do not matter...
In Stepps, they want us to believe that our thoughts are distorted. That I need to learn to regulate my thoughts and emotions. BS. My thoughts are based in the reality of what I know to be the truth. And my emotions... Screw them. I'm better off when I disassociate or numb the emotions. What good are they really. The male leader of the Stepps group even went so far as to insinuate my very real physical issues are in my head and would resolve themselves once my thinking process improved!
I'm ready to toss in the towel and just give up. History has shown me I can only rely on myself.
When I first went into therapy i had the starts with the first letter of that word and i couldn't get it outta my head. i hurt and that is all i concentrated on. Bonnie................Do you believe that God is #1 in your life?
I am getting close to believing that. Because I have been working on this for quiet a while and really it began as a child lost it and then found it at 30ish and lost it and now as i turned 50 3 yrs ago i went on another quest and found it. I still have a hard time not putting my husband first but I know that God is #1.
The reason i write this is because I have come thru this terrible illness of shingles still have some and knee pain that has worsened from not being able to do walking and get around and feeling so sick i couldn't do anything. and then the flu since the day before thanksgivng or something that made me urp and the other end until about a week and half ago. and then the pink eye. still have it virally but getting rid of it. listening to neighboors barking dog and can barely stand it.
headphones!
anyway................I have found you to be a most literal kinda gal. You take things in their rawest form and make that what raw really looks like. Does that make sense? I am a raw kinda thinker too however recently since i got sick and because of my third degree burn i am doing better. i am realizing that nothing is to large that God cannot take careof it. Me my friend from here Kim who lies in a hospital bed fighting fo rher life Literally!
I want you to know I care and I'm sorry that its taken me a while to write. I just haven't had time so much ha[ppening.
I will write more to you tomorrow but hang on please.......... you
've made a strong come back and nobody is worth throwing that away. things do come and go out of our life an dyou and i and everyone here has to remember that we have had decent if not good times and that it will not always be what it is right now because that is impossible. OK cuz you have been having a pretty decent time right? until up to when these most current events happened.
So i'm asking you to just ignore for now what has happened. You don't have to give it any validity...............you don't have to validate anyone but yourself!
for now its just me................ok
I made it this far because of you all here, not because of anyone else. I can count on you all, I am not judged by any of you, I am loved by you all. So for you all, I will not do the big S but I can not promise not to SH, Okay?
Love you too.
Yes, I do believe in God and commune with God each and every day, several times throughout the day.
I was able to sleep having taken my meds last evening and God spoke to me. God has given me more tools I can utilize in my fight against housing: Disability Rights Vermont, Vermont Commission on women, and Legal Aid. So I will keep fighting for it seems that is what God wants me to do.
Thank you so much for being you.

Your immune system is on overload trying to fight all and it needs help. I hope your pdoc gets it together soon. Maybe and IV cocktail with stronger antibiodics and fluids added in. The cocktail mix because it is the holiday.
