Bio

I struggle a lot with anxiety and depression. The anxiety is disabling because the only way I know to get away from the icky feeling is to go to sleep. I have a hard time putting words to the icky feeling, but I just don't want to go anywhere and curl up in the corner of my couch and try to sleep it away.

How to appreciate the miracle of my life

...See more I was in a terrible car accident 23 years ago. They said I'd be dead within 3 days. They said I'd be a vegetable if I came out if my coma. They said I'd never walk again, but after the years I did start walking again, although minutes and with pain. So now here I am, this living miracle. Nothing in modern science says I should be alive. But I don't want to be. I feel so useless. I had brain trauma, so it's hard for me to pick up around the house because up and down makes me dizzy and nauseous. My mobility is limited because if I'm on my feet too much I won't be able to walk at all for a couple of days. And I have lymphedema and lipedema, so my legs get super swollen if they're not elevated all the time. But I just feel so lazy. I feel like I should do more, but that I don't because I'm lazy. I feel worthless. I try to trust God has a plan for my life, but it's so hard to keep going sometimes. And then I feel bad for being ungrateful that God saved me.
