Hello @mytwistedsoul

i hope you don’t mind me reaching out… and if you do… it’s ok. 

You just seem so uplifting and fun. Someone I’d vibe with. 

Thought we could chat.

 Did you write your name in ketchup on that piece of bread?

@peachThinker662 I saw a video earlier today. Well, it was a short. This person was talking about how she's iron deficient and went through all these tests with doctors and they just kept putting her through tests for years. She started just drinking orange juice. I was just thinking maybe you need to just drink orange juice? I know we had talked about vitamins and eating things for iron. Maybe you just need more vitamin C? If you already are ... just ignore this first part. The video is - https://youtube.com/shorts/4CSPsbMvbgI?si=mRUbsphqDBvAzeJQ

I don't think anyone can be positive all the time. Life just doesn't seem to work that way. You have a lot of concerns weighing on you I bet. It's not whining either. It's needing some comfort and kind words during a hard time. Maybe needing some validation too because of that negative critic that talks to you. ❤️  


Yay you! Glad you got to make those dumplings! That's always something that is nice to do. I think baking is sort of relaxing and the apples would smell so good! 😊


Ahhh... the soap is the lava! 😳 He looks like a pretty tough guy to wrestle 😂

Actually just bought Orange juice yesterday ❤️ Thank you for thinking of me. I did get my lab results back— my omegas are very low. Vit d, b12 and zinc are just hanging in that within normal limits by a thread. I was on this super health kick with eating prior to the surgery, not even knowing the surgery was coming, guess it was a good thing. I’m running low on fuel. No wonder I’m tired. I should go eat some grass with the doggos. But, I have to wait until Thursday to chat with the doctor. I’ll start a multivitamin and d3 before then because I’m like that 😂

No one can be positive all the time, you’re right. Trying to instill that positive thought process. I love instant gratification if you can’t tell. It’s not easy J. Not at all. I wrote probably 10 pages in my journal today. I’m having a hard time, again, falling asleep. I hate night time alone.

I got a big butt dog snoring at my feet. 😂 She’s out. She must’ve ate too many apples that fell on the floor today. Full belly.

They’re both tough to wrestle. He stays in the yard with me no problem. Her—she takes off and goes to the neighbors back door, they have little ones, butt wiggling a mile a minute, just wanting to play. I used to pick her up, one arm under the front and one arm under the back, like a watermelon! 😂 He’s ridiculous to try to carry. The bathtub is upstairs, gotta pick I’m him up in a bear hug. And then he has his 2 front paws in his face, tongue sticking out, and back legs dangling. I don’t know who snorts more. Him or me laughing at him. Big babies.

@peachThinker662 You're welcome. Hooray for OJ! Maybe take a good dressing with while you're grazing with the doggos 😁. That does explain why you've been so exhausted. Nothing wrong with getting a jump on the multivitamin and D3 


Yeah it's not easy. That inner critic is horrible. I'm glad you're letting it out through your journal and super proud of you for reaching out here too. There must be something in the air lately or maybe it's just that time of year. I've been having trouble with sleep and nightmares since I got back. Tonight I feel incredibly restless 😕 
Cuddle your big sleepy girl. Let the rise and fall of her chest help calm and relax you ❤️ Aww she likes apples! My girls never fell for that healthy stuff. They never wanted to eat half the stuff dogs normally like. No popcorn, or pretzels. No french fries or peanut butter. They were weirdos 😂

Aww she like kids! That's so sweet! 😊 Omgosh I laughed just imagining you carrying them. 😂 His snorts would be hilarious! 
I hope you can get some decent sleep tonight ❤️

@mytwistedsoul

 why do you have some an impact on me? 😂😂 I drank my glass of you this morning-and thought of you. And also thought, I’m doing the right thing for my body. I like ranch 🤣 they probably do too!! 

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having a tough time since you’ve got back 😢 Bad dreams. Those make me not want to go to sleep, idk about you.  Restlessness is annoying. You’re so tired but can’t just close your eyes long enough to sleep. I hope your sleep gets better soon. Did you happen to fall asleep around 2am 😂 that’s when I did. 

She was at the bottom of the bed. The stinker. She’s like I’m tired and over this. Maybe tonight she’ll snuggle. I can send a dog to you if you’d like? 😁 She shared a cucumber with me tonight. She LOVES pumpkin. Ever since She was a little pupper. I actually got her around this time of year so I think it’s her favorite too. You lucked out without the girls wanting to eat everything! Or my 2 are just fatties!!! 😂😂

 Loves kids, babies, any animal, all people. There’s some people that have chickens and she always wants to play with them. She stops and stares and then starts the booty shake. 😂 There was a Chihuahua she tried saying hello to, not very nice to her. The poor look on her face “like damn what was that all about”

He’s ALWAYS snorting. Always. In your face sniffing and licking and snorting. Then he burps. Funny, annoying and disgusting all at the same time!! She has jumped on my kitchen table before. Like who are you??? 

Random thought: do you have a southern accent? Idk why but I was like, well all the places he’s been to, he might 😂 the things I think of. I thinks it’s because I often read in a certain tone and expression to each person here. Last night when “peach is a man?” I just think of her as this cute bubbly sweet girl and she cracks me up. It was like she was mind blown. I’m a female. 😂 

anyways—I’ll stop chatting your ear off ❤️🍑

@peachThinker662 Hey if it's a good thing.... that's a good thing 😅 I like ranch too! I can almost guarantee the doggos do too 😁 

They make me not want to go to sleep either. 2 am is usually the first time I wake up. I try to be in bed around 12 but then I might toss and turn for an hour or so 😕

She was playing foot warmer! I've heard pumpkin is really good for them. Mine wouldn't eat it unless it was in pie form and had cool whip on it 😂 They used to bark at ketchup (smh) they were such goofballs 

Aww she sounds like such a sweetheart. The fact that she didn't want to eat the chickens says a lot! I hope you told her that most chihuahua's are buttheads so it wasn't anything personal 

He sounds hilarious! A total sweetheart though. One of my girls used to have some powerful gas, she would lay in front of the fan and let loose those silent deadly ones. Usually while I was on the laptop which is in a corner of the living room. It would slowly waft it's way into that corner and hit like a freight train. I swear she would laugh when it hit 😂

I've been told I have an accent. Slightly southern and something else? I'm on the last 2 Cups birthday videos wishing cups a happy birthday, if you want to hear 😅 

Lol she is a trip. She thought I was a woman, but a lot of people do. I did actually laugh out loud when I read that. It would have put the whole riverside decompressing in a dress in a whole new light. 😂

Chat away, I don't mind at all ❤️ 😊

@mytwistedsoul

 you are correct in saying that. You’ve helped me out quite a bit. ❤️ Guaranteed they would like ranch. Then they would never stop eating the grass. 

You sound like me. 😩 I was so tired last night. I read until 1030 to be extra tired. I sleep until 10 this morning, after I was awake every hour. And of course, woke up in a panic. My eyes are all puffy this morning. I’m going to cry. I’m tired of feeling like this. This isn’t me. I would wake up- have something to do. Go couponing- I’d love to see how low I could get it. Go to the thrift store-see if I could find something interesting. Start laundry, start dinner. Or I would be going to work. … 😭 I have zero energy. 

Hahaha .. barking at ketchup? did they want some??

He’s rancid with his gas. The second he takes in that sigh to fall asleep…The room stinks!!! Oh no 😂😂😂 they used the fan to their advantage!!! 

You do have a bit of a southern accent. Thank you for sharing those videos with me. That was interesting to hear people and see some people ❤️ 

ah yes, it would put the dress at the river in a whole new light for sure. 😂

@peachThinker662 I'm glad I've helped. That makes me feel good. I never want to add to your pain or anyone else's. There's enough of that in the world


(offers safe hugs) Do you have any idea what has you feeling this way? (it's ok not to know) I think if I were you .... I would feel a little overwhelmed. You're making some changes with work (scary for a couple of reasons), and sad because you liked your coworkers. Maybe there's some concerns and fears about what if's? 

The fact that you're tired and not sleeping good can really throw emotions around. Add in the low iron and D3 and the others that probably isn't helping. You see your doctor today right? Please make sure you tell him all this? ❤️ 

Make today a pamper Peach day. Take a bubble bath, put on your comfiest clothes, make some tea and watch a favorite movie. Order some takeout if they deliver? Or pick something up on the way home if you have that doctor's appt today ❤️

Lol they absolutely hated ketchup 😂 
Omgosh, the sigh relaxed the stink valves! Does he ever startle himself when he lets one loose? 😂 It's always funny when they do that

You're welcome. I figure they're cups property so they're free game if someone wants to watch and listen. I know I was kind of surprised my first time watching one of those. I had people pictured differently 😅

Hey if you were a guy and that's your thing well... that's ok too. I dye my hair purple sometimes 😂  I'm not one to judge 😁

Be gentle with yourself today ok? Try? ❤️

🫂 I’m overwhelmed not getting back to work yet. Idk what to do with myself when I’m home. I’m very task oriented and I don’t have that right now. My friend since I was 15 is being a jerk and it’s been about a year bite, and it’s really getting to me. I was waiting for the go to stay with since before the surgery. Disappointed it didn’t pan out the way I wanted it to. Definitely what if concerns.

I do see the doctor today. I can’t wait for the appointment. I just want to hear the feedback and stop looking up things my self cause that only leads down a rabbit hole.

I ate half of my breakfast and started gagging. But half is better than nothing. Took a multivitamin. Took my probiotic. Drank my oj and some cider. Went for a 20min walk in the light rain.

So funny they hated ketchup!!! Oh no. Not a care. I’ll even yell you stink and keeps on sleeping.

Yes. Definitely pictured people differently.

Sometimes idk how to be gentle with myself. It’s an odd feeling…. Like I should be PUSHING!!!

Ooh purple. You fancy! I’ve been wanting to color my hair. Maybe I could today? Maybe. …

@peachThinker662 Maybe you could make a to do list for the next couple of days until you start work? You could maybe have one hard task each day, something you'd like to have done before the 1st and maybe some smaller tasks scattered in? Idk if that would help 


I'm sorry about your friend. 😞 It's hard when things like that happen. She hasn't offered any information or clue if something is going on in her world? Maybe you could just ask her what the deal is? Maybe it's something she's embarrassed or ashamed to discuss? Not that it excuses acting like a jerk. The not knowing can make your mind jump to all kinds of conclusions and the catastrophic thoughts start 😬

Those internet rabbit holes will do that too. I try to avoid that. According to web md I should have croaked 5 times already. I do hope he has some ideas and thoughts that help you feel better

Half is better than nothing and you got your OJ down and the cider. That's good! Maybe after the appt you'll have a better appetite ❤️ Hey it's been rainy here too! We needed it so bad. It's been so dry here

Do you feel that your worth is tied into work and what you do? Like if you're not useful or doing something productive your worth disappears? Sometimes pushing does more harm than good. You will return to work. Right now you're waiting on the start date. 

Hey there you go! Hot pink! 😁 Teal turns green, it's not a good look...  just fyi 😅

I actually do well with lists. It’s just When things don’t get done. But it’s really just as simple as adding it to the next day.

She’s a hot mess. 5 kids. Boyfriend. Dog with issues. And she’s had her own health issues that she’s not taking care of. I sent her a photo of us from last year and she’s gone downhill. I try to give her some credit because of that. But when I see her going to visit others that has surgeries. Helping them with meals and upkeep of their house…it sends a message of I don’t give a crap about you. She often makes comments of what I do for a living Vs what she does and puts herself down. Things I’ve accomplished despite my upbringing. And again, puts herself down. I don’t look at people ANY different in regards to life circumstances, careers , etc. unless you pick me up for a date and you’re wearing crocs with jib bits. 😂 It seems like every time I try to talk to her, “phone died” kids and her boyfriend talking over when on the phone, it’s quite annoying. Like I said I try to give the benefit of the doubt, it’s just hard.

I looked on the web about consistent nosebleeds and how to soothe my nares. It instantly went to nasal cancer. Like damn. Can we start with nose spray?

I had an Apple dumpling with ice cream for lunch 😂 I’m thinking pizza for dinner.

I absolutely feel my worth is tied into work and what I do. If I’m not doing something productive, it’s disappears. ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

I was thinking brown lol I’d love to be able to go with bright colors but I don’t have the baseballs for that.

I’m totally going to respond to this after my appointment because I’m going to need to get it out to someone. Sorry If I’m annoying today. I apologize in advance!

@peachThinker662 It really is as easy as adding it to the next day buuttt.... that inner critic is a hard nosed taskmaster. Mine even cusses at me. 😅


Oh ouch. Yeah that would hurt. It sounds like a hot mess! Everyone can rise above their upbringing if they want. It's not easy that's for sure but it is possible. Sounds like she's stuck in a victim mentality? She has choices she can make to change her life if she wants to. It would be hard work. I know you're probably sympathetic with her and supportive too. That in it's self is a big deal. Hopefully her health issues aren't anything too serious or life threatening because of her kids. I hate saying this but I know some people do hold on to that mentality so they don't have to do more. 

So the dates off if there's Crocs and jib bits 😂😂 
Maybe you could see if she can get away for an hour or two for dinner or even just a cup of coffee? Just the 2 of you? Surely the boyfriend can keep an eye on the kids and won't burn the house down? 

Oh OH! speaking of Crocs! 😁 The blacksmith was here earlier this week. They were pink 😳 which ok pink isn't a bad color but to double down and have pink Crocs.. dude... seriously? I laughed and he flipped me off and I laughed harder 😂 🤣

I get those in the winter. It's usually because it's so dry. Saline spray helps and a humidifier or a vaporizer can help a lot

Oh yum! Excellent lunch choice! I love it! 😁 And pizza for dinner is another excellent choice! You can never go wrong with pizza! What's your favorite toppings? 

It hard to get out of that type of thinking. It's something I do too. I've gotten a little better with it and take time for myself without feeling too guilty but sometimes it still hits hard

Lmao! The baseball comment threw me for a minute! 🤣 I was thinking wth does she need baseballs for.... duh! Tbh I get some weird looks sometimes. I just roll with it. 

You weren't annoying at all! It was nice "talking" with you today ❤️ Tbh I'd be disappointed if you didn't tell me how the appointment went!

 same here. Same. 

Yea. Plus I think we are both going through it, hard to support one another. Her bf will call the entire time if we do anything. Stupidest stuff that people his age should just know. Like what to eat? Cmon man are you kidding me? 

For sure. No no no. My co worker that I had gone out with one day, ooh  he’s cute? Umm no. Did you look at his feet? He had slides on (which is fine) but his feet were hanging out, toes first. Idk what was one the floor more, his toes or the shoes?? 

Hahaha I love that he flipped you off. It sounds like he gets a kick out of your humor. 😂😂😂 

i like cheese pizza. That’s my go to. But sometimes I’ll get spinach/feta, pepperoni and there’s a place that does Mac n cheese on the pizza.

⚾️ ⚾️ 2 of them to be exact 🤣🤣🤣

 ferritin, b12, d3, omega, and zinc are all my new supplements. 😁 party time. Just kidding. That’s a meal in itself. I have to take the iron 2x/day. She said my insulin was high too, gotta start eating better. Just chatted with my aunt, she’s very into nutrition so she gave me some suggestions ❤️ that was a lot to take in. But I’m proud that I’m taking the steps to take care of my body. 

Oooh and I got my last piece of paperwork in, emailed in to the employer 😁😁

@peachThinker662 It is hard to support each other if you're both going through things. She should silence her phone. So she has 6 kids in total? Omg that is so childish and rude. Tell her to get a bunch of different hungry man dinners. If he can figure out the phone he should be able to manage the microwave. The instructions are on the back of the box. I think there might even be some pictures. 🤭 Sorry I was being mean 😞 but geez give the lady a break dude 


Oh yeah ..no. 😂 Why bother wearing something if half your foot is going to be touching the ground anyway? 😬 

You can't go wrong with a good cheese pizza. Pass on the spinach and I don't think I've ever had feta. 😬 Pepperoni is always good. Bacon and mushrooms 🤤 no hairy fish 😂

I had to look up ferritin. It sounds like something for people with a ferret allergy. "No problem, I took my ferritin" I joke but wow low levels on all that stuff, fatigue is usually the first symptom. Omgosh all those are a meal! High insulin - is like pre-diabetes? So you need to watch your sugars? 

Yay Auntie! I'm glad she had some suggestions. You should be proud! It's a great big step! Hopefully before long you'll be feeling a lot better. Thank you for letting me know ❤️ Hopefully it eases your mind a little with the blood results and knowing you need to eat better and take your supplements ❤️

Woohoo! The last piece of paperwork! Alright! You had a busy productive day today getting those things done!

 seriously just typed out a message and accidentally deleted it 😂😂😂

 now what was I saying… 

oh yes. You are not being rude. I’ve said worse to his face 😅 He’s ridiculous. Relationships should have be a team imo. Help each other out. Like your home with the littles, allow her to feel like a good mom. Wash a dish. Feed yourself and the kids. She does deserve that. Heck with the hungry man, his bags would be on the curb… but I would never tolerate that. 

Right?!! Not a fan of feet. I definitely don’t need to see the slopping around like a bird. Just go without. 😂

 speaking of feet. Feta smells like it…actually most cheeses do 🤔 I had spinach, olive and tomatoes. “Healthy pizza”  do I dare ask what a hairy fish is 👀 

 No ferret allergies 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry about that. Ferritin is like the holding space for iron and then distributes it to the hematocrit and hemoglobin. She doesn’t want it going empty because then I run the risk of anemia. The high insulin is my body working hard to break down carbs and such. Like I said I was eating to satisfy hunger. So the food goes in. The insulin is high to bring my body where it needs to be, then I crash because that stuff breaks down so fast. (Affects mood as you know) So I’ll need to eat more whole grains and less processed. 

I did get some good stuff accomplished today, huh? ❤️

@peachThinker662 I've done that! So frustrating! 😅

Oh yeah give him h*ll! Good for you! Relationships should be a team effort. She needs time out for herself too. Sounds like a very one sided relationship 😕

Feet are weird lol. They just look funny 🤪 

I don't eat much cheese tbh. I'll probably never eat feta. Especially if it smells like feet 😬 That's great! You still had pizza for dinner! Hairy fish = anchovies 😝 They're not really hairy 😅 they just have little bones that make them look like they are. Just gross 

Processed foods are just really bad all the way around. Homemade is definitely better. It's understandable though that you were eating to satisfy hunger, especially after having surgery. There was only so much you could do physically during that time. Now that you're on the mend you'll be able to get better meals too without struggling or hurting

You did some really great stuff for yourself today! Last bit of stuff to job and went to the doctors! Both very big important things! Yay you! 🥳 
I hope you get a better night's sleep tonight!  Good night Peach ❤️

How did your day go today? 

I went and did some paperwork this morning at the job. 💜 I go back in on Monday.

Took a trip out to my aunts for the weekend. I was sobbing last night and this afternoon. All I could think was I need someone and I actually asked to come over here. I’m glad I thought of it and I’m glad she was willing. I’m done being at home by myself. I’m sick of my house. Sick of being trapped in my mind. 

I hope tonight is a much better night — for the both of us—- with rest ❤️❤️❤️

@peachThinker662 Every time I hear feta I think of feet now lol! 

For all I know they might be good on pizza, just, who thought that up? 😬 The pizza wasn't enough with just sauce and cheese? Someone said let's put these little fish on (shudders) 😝

It was a busy day. Had a headache for most of it. Ran some errands, finally checked the mail for the first time in probably close to two weeks. I have to pick mail up at the post office. They don't come up the lane (cowards) 😂

Hey that's great! I hope you like it and they treat you good ❤️ It's great they're letting you start sooner! You had a very accomplished week! 

I'm glad you asked her and really glad that she accepted. It's really great that you recognized that you needed someone. I can definitely understand being sick of being trapped in your mind 🤪 I hope you get a good night's sleep and have a great time with your aunt! Sending you love and light ❤️

 hello my darling feta feet 😂

 anchovies, sardines, kipper snacks 🤮 slimy *** stinky little fish. 

 SMH…pink croc blacksmith comes up the lane though.. sounds like you got a bit done despite the headache. Hope you are feeling better ❤️

I slept great. Out cold by 9 and slept all the way until 8. I woke up to a family emergency and had to cut the visit short. 

We did go for a walk. Checked out an antique shop. Hard to focus today. But I did have a cute little snapping turtle on my path. There was a black dog in the store that came right up to me for lovings. Then found me later again in the store. So sweet. 🥹 as I went outside I had a bunny standing next to me for like 10 minutes!!! Just eating grass while I was on the phone. Loved those interactions. 

I’m just trying to calm down. I put on “junky tv” Sex and the City. Samantha is wild on this show. 😂 

i have so much going on in my brain, it’s left me speechless today.

@peachThinker662 😂😂 That's not something you hear every day!


Definitely not something that needs to be on a pizza. 😬


Yeah that's one of the really nice things. Not many people like to come up the lane. I do let hi. know if it's bad in the winter. And he knows he can call or text if he needs to change days because of weather. 

Thank you 😊 it's better. I stress myself out 🤪 I have a dentist appointment to fix a tooth tomorrow. 😳 A little stressed about that but hoping there's a puppy there 😁 I saw a video where some dentist office has an emotional support dog. 😊 

Wow! Almost 12 hours! I know that I've ever slept that many hours in a row! Hopefully you felt rested! But waking up to a family emergency isn't any good. I hope everything is ok! ❤️

Wow sounds like you had a special Disney princess moment with all the animals! That snapping turtle must have been small, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they're cute 😊 Oh random dogs just make the day when they do stuff like that! So cool!

What's got you stressed? The family emergency? 😬 That's a bad way to wake up. Hopefully your brain has calmed down . This space is always here if you want to get things out. 

Hey work starts tomorrow! I hope you have a great first day! ❤️

 hahahaha. gotta keep you on your toes. 🦶 No pun intended. 

Well, if going to the dentist means fixing a tooth and feeling better. Then by all means. And I do hope your little corgi friend is there. 💖💖 all dentist offices should have puppies at the door!!! I love that some do. You will do amazing. Just think of your smile 😀 

aww a Disney Princess moment .. I love that. 💜 The little snapper was cute. I just let him be. Today all I saw a lot butterflies. Orange, yellow. 🦋 they’re so pretty too. 

Ah yup!  Super stressed with moments of ok I can do this. I’m going to have to be honest with work tomorrow. Let them know if I get a call from the hospital, I have to take it. 

I’m glad I saw your message before I settled in. 💜 perfect timing!!!! 

So… I’m a mom. I had a child at a young age, I feel I did my absolute best with what I had. Her dad was very abusive to me. I got out when she was 3 or 4. It was rough on the both of us for different reasons… anyways that’s not the issue at hand. TW She’s currently in the hospital. She went into treatment in May for alcohol and cocaine. On Friday/Saturday she relapsed. Idk which came first, the depression or beating her self up for 1 NIGHT but she swallowed 4 bottles of pills…. Idek what else to say right now. I’m scared for her to get out. I’m ok that she’s safe tonight. I want her better. I love her SO SO SO much. And more! There’s trauma emotions that stir up because of my sister. Yea. 

I do hope work goes well tomorrow. 

I hope to feel more self worth and I hope to have decreased anxiety with a day to occupy my time. 

Appreciate you so much your messages mean more than you possibly know! 

Good look tomorrow to you as well, you’ll do great!!!!!!! Breathe. Bring some ear buds if you can, to listen to some music. 💜💜

@peachThinker662 Omg Peach, I hope she's alright. Maybe after they discharge her she could go back to rehab? Maybe with taking that many at once she could stay for a few days just to assess her? Like a psych evaluation? (sending many hugs and lots of love) That would be absolutely terrifying for a parent. I can absolutely understand that this would bring up so many things for you because of your sister ❤️ 


I'm sorry her dad was abusive. I believe there is a special h*ll for abusers. I'm glad you got you and her away from him. 

Work should understand if you need to take a phone call. Emergencies aren't preplanned and I guess if they do mind then that tells you about the kind of company it is. 

I agree! All dentist offices should have puppies! 😁 Doctors too. It would help a lot of people relax. Except for the people who don't like dogs. Maybe the could have kittens for those? 😂 

Butterflies are supposed to signify good things. They are so pretty. It's peaceful to watch them. 

Work will go great today! I'm hoping it really does. 

I've got you and her in my thoughts and I'm sending good vibes to both of you ❤️ Please keep me posted on how she's doing and how work went

You got this! Kick work butt!

I think I may take a break from this site. There’s too many relapse, TW suicide thoughts posts for me right now. I’ll come on and speak with you but that’s about it right now. 

She told her friend she’s not going to go to rehab again. I don’t like that in this state they don’t have to hold you for 72hrs. There’s a possibility she’ll be out today or tomorrow. I called the hospital last night to let them know she was still suicidal and they said we can assure you she’s safe here. But that was not my point. Don’t discharge her was my point. And in didn’t realize until after. Her life and her safety just mean so much to me. Words can’t describe it. They’re putting her on a mood stabilizer. 

I’m sorry, I just want to get through today. I don’t want to be beaten with anxiety. 

I hope your dentist appt go smooth sweetie. Good luck 💜💜💜

@peachThinker662 I can understand that. In all honesty, I'm not sure why they've been letting those posts up. They used to remove them because they're not equipped to deal with those. I guess maybe because some of them say, they're not in crisis. I don't read them, well, sometimes I do but I haven't been lately. I'm not sure if there's a way to block them from popping up on feeds. 


Hopefully they'll keep her until tomorrow at least. Of course her life and safety matter very much to you! No words necessary to describe it. ❤️ No matter how old she is, she's still your little girl. You're a good parent who wants all the best for her. You want her safe. I can only imagine the fear and concern you have for her. 

Please don't be sorry. I'm not here just for the fun times, I'm not just a fair weather friend. Hopefully the day has settled a little, especially where work is involved. Deep breaths ❤️

The dentist was eh lol. Almost late because I forgot about school buses. The computer in the room they had me in didn't want to work for an X-ray. So we moved to a different one for that and then went back to the original. She didn't wait long enough for the novacaine to work fully. I have dumped thousands of dollars into these teeth. Never went to the dentist as a kid, so they were pretty bad. Even with brushing and flossing twice a day. Then got behind a mower on the way back. 🤪

I’m glad you got that dentist appointment taken care of. That’s important stuff ❤️

 Thank you for being so open with the fact that not everything has to be light. I appreciate that. 

She’ll be discharged tomorrow. I told her she could come stay here. Her dad and I finally agreed on something. He thinks it’s a great idea for her to stay here. I let her know we could go get some paint and redo a room. She can be rather impatient (yup. Takes after me) I’ll have to pick her up when I’m out of work. I’m trying so hard not to stress what the house will be like with her living here again and her reactions. 

Few things I’m unsure of…. She has a couple cats. I may need to get rid of my male dog. He doesn’t do well with cats. And at this point my daughter means more to me. I’m not sure how to handle that. He’s fixed, utd on shots and he just needs love. He’s a lover. 

My gratitude list for today: so happy I spoke to her a few times, so happy she’ll be home tomorrow, I went for a walk, attended an Al-Anon meeting - helpful!!! And I took a bath, climbed into bed early with my heating pad.  I’ve got my female dog right behind me snoring. I love her so much. It makes the bed feel less empty tonight. Work was understanding, I had to take the day for phone calls for my daughter. 

Tomorrow is a new day. I’m ready!!! 

❤️

@peachThinker662 Thank you. Now hopefully I don't have to go back until next year.


Life isn't all rainbows and butterflies, unfortunately. I just wanted to make sure you knew. ❤️

It's a stressful situation. Try not to over stress about it or overthink. Which is hard. Try to just handle things a moment at a time. Yeah I can understand about your daughter and the dog. Some choices are hard to make, maybe take that moment to moment too. Maybe ask at your vets if someone could foster him for you for a while? Explain the situation (you don't have to go into full details) and try to keep him and the cats separated for now? 

Hey that's good thinking visiting a Al-Anon meeting! And having a bath and snuggling with your doggo. I'm glad work was understanding! 

Tomorrow IS a new day! Go get 'em! You'll be in .y thoughts. Sending you good vibes ❤️

I was told that I’ll get an hour lunch during orientation and enjoy it while I have it 😂 because that’s certainly not a daily case. So, I ate, went for a walk, did some stretches. I’ve GOT to remember to bring some ibuprofen tomorrow. I iced, ibuprofen when I got home,  showered and heating pad now. Sitting on my butt all day was no bueno. 

Idk. I didn’t get to do my job in orientation. I just want to interact with the kids already!! 😂 

Her dad picked her up today so that was SUPER helpful.

@peachThinker662 Ohhhh! Although with sitting a lot that hour would be nice for a walk and stretching like you did. I know if I sit too long I get stiff and achy. Ibuprofen definitely helps. 

Interacting with kids... on purpose? 😂 Joking! Well sort of... I don't dislike kids. They're just loud and usually don't listen too well. 😅 They make me nervous 😬

I'm glad he could pick her up. I know sometimes hospital's can be weird on discharge times. 

Yay for a good session that didn't leave you drained! Those are nice to have!

Thank you! It was a very busy day. But things got done! Woohoo! Mouth is still a little tender but feels better than it did on Monday ❤️

 Today was better. I had bubble guts and almost went home. I talked to my boss, because i kept ahem having to use the bathroom 😝 tmi. And sitting in a room of people during orientation, having to keep getting up, I wasn’t to sure if what to do. Tomorrow, I’ll bring the tums. Like she said, sometimes we have a 💩 storm that flies over us for a bit. I just hate being a newbie. And an emotional one at that. But what can I do? Yes, I did the need the sweater this morning! Like a big hug 🤗 💜 so it served its purpose all day. 

Kids seem to flock to me too 😂 I went to a birthday party last summer, I’ll never forget. Every kid came to me, while the adults were all drinking, I was in the kiddie pool with the kids. ❤️❤️ Infact, I slipped and busted my 🍑🤣🤣🤣🤣 All these things and I say “ idk why I needed neck surgery” 😂

I’m feeling a bit more like myself tonight 🥹 When I’m down, I’m knocked down. 

I swear to God there’s a mouse in my room right now and I’m really trying not flip all my furniture.  😱  I hate mice!!!!!!!! OMG do I hate them. 

She seems to be doing better. I understand why she did what she did. She’s able to admit it too. She went to stay at her apartment tonight.  I called her what are you doing, where you going. 🤣🤣🤣 she had a male friend coming over—- ok I’ll mind my business! 

OMG I just screamed!!!! Definitely was a mouse wtfffffffff

@peachThinker662 I'm glad today was better. Sorry to hear about the tummy troubles though. I know being under stress can cause that. So can supplements. Are you feeling better now? Your boss isn't wrong about those storms lol. She sounds like a pretty cool boss though. I think the emotional stuff if understandable. You've been dealing with so much lately. With time for things to settle down hopefully the emotions will level off for you ❤️

It's hard to believe we're in October now. This year seems to have gone by so fast! 

Sounds like you have fun though! 😁 The kids sense you're a good safe person to be around and you play with them. That's always a big hit. 

I'm glad you were feeling more like yourself. Once you get the swing of things at work and things settle down with your daughter. You might feel even more like yourself. With the surgery, it's probably been a long time

Aww you don't like mice? I love mice and rats. Not free roaming ones in the house so much but they make great pets. Get some traps. It's getting colder out they're looking for places to set up house. 

I'm glad your daughter is doing better and she opened up and talked to you. ❤️

I woke up with a thumper of a headache. 😕 Eh, I've been busy. Yesterday I mowed the field for probably the last time this year. Picked a couple pounds of green beans.

I never thought mint worked! Maybe I didn't use enough?  I was putting mint in the greenhouse to keep the mice and hopefully the chipmunks out. Keeping them out lowers the risk on snakes. But nobody seemed to care about the mint because they were all in there!  😅 And somebody keeps licking the peanut butter off the traps (promise it's not me 🤪) 
Aww no worries! We'd both get in trouble and accused of triangulating or something. Tbh i think I might have an idea anyway lol 😅 Nah don't run, stay out of spite.

hmmm it’s my first attempt with mint. I bought spray and I bought like satchels full of it. 🤞 have you ever encountered wild rats? Sometimes I ponder the idea of a snake but I think it’s an intrusive thought 😂😂

😂 Please stop licking the peanut butter off the traps. Self control sir. 

Sometimes you have to adjust the setting on the snap traps and sometimes they are just sneaky sneaky. I hate traps too 🤢 I don’t want to see that either way 😂 I got some that are supposed to catch them and you just dump them without looking. Honestly—- I bought one of each thing there was 😂🙃 

neither of us need that. That’s for sure! So…. You notice a little something too? Eh. I try to incorporate that everyone is here for different reasons…but I guess some people have seniority or think they do anyways. Oooohhhh well. Just keep interactions to a minimum. 🤷‍♀️ 

Yes. The cat was being a wild one last night and both the dogs. No one slept. It was like a party up in here. So they should All sleep tonight.

Aww well alright! Since you asked so nicely! 😁

Yeah I'm not crazy about seeing them either and I feel bad for them but when I start seeing evidence of them in the house, drastic measures must be taken. I hope the mint helps, that would be a potential game changer. Hey with one of each you might get a good idea of which one works best. 
I must admit I do like peanut butter! 😂

Yeah I did a little. I guess I didn't really think about it? Just kind of chalked it up to a bad day? 

Ahhh they were running amuck! 😁 critter chaos! A battle royale between dogzilla and cat kong. Hopefully they let you get sleep tonight 

It's definitely different in person. I don't talk much. I can go days without saying a word to anyone. Here I can take my time with my words. In RL I often speak slower and lose my train of thought. I see the impatient looks people give and the eye rolls. 😕 In RL I used to get taken advantage of a lot because I'll help almost anyone if they ask. Then I discovered the power of boundaries! 😊 Plus to meet people you have to GO meet people 😅 and socialize 😬 Too many people gets me overwhelmed and overstimulated and louder places puts me on guard. Here I can limit the access people have to me. Which sounds antisocial...

I love that they can sense I’m a good person. Made my heart smile ❤️

When I was probably in 8 th grade 🤔 We were living in an apartment. I remember mother standing in front of our door on the 2nd floor. There landlord was downstairs at the front door talking up to her. My sister was standing on the set of stairs going up while I was on the landing. She was forever playing pranks. So she said “Jen theirs a snake next to your foot” I was like yea ok. Nice try. She kept going so I said shut up, looked down and sure enough. Ball python wrapped around the banister. I don’t think I ran down the stairs. I think I jumped down the whole flight and ran all the way to the road. Turns out, the neighbor in the basement apartment, had him as a pet. He got loose, he didn’t want to tell anyone and went on vacation!!!! My dumb mother “we can keep him for the night” I did not sleep!!! All I could think was he got out once, what’s going to stop him this time. 😬 😱 I will never forget that!!! So huge and so gross!!!!!!!

 Hehehe hopefully they like the peanut too . Bam!!!!💥 

Could be a difficult day. But I’m going to just kinda step back. I guess that’s just how I deal with the discomfort. 

Definitely critter chaos 🤣 We all napped today too. 

I appreciate your honesty. That’s terrible to think you receive eye rolls. I do understand that here you certainly would have the time to get your words out. Others often don’t like when boundaries are set. Especially, when it’s different than what they are used to. I like that you come on here though to get socialization. And socialization that works best for you. We are all so different, with different needs, personalities and characteristics. Different things. But finding what works best for you is important. A good piece of self care. And you’re very welcome 😉

😅 Yeah.. omg I would have been with you jump down those stairs. And definitely wouldn't have been able to sleep, even after the guy came back and got it. Because if it got out once, it'll do it again. Who in their right mind has a snake get loose and then decides to go on vacation! 😳 No dude you stay and find the freaky thing and put it where it belongs. Not let it roam the apartment building! Yeah.... nope, big NOPE!

🤭 They always show mice eating cheese, they're quicker to go after peanut butter. I wonder if they like marshmallow fluff? Might be harder for them to lick off? Better chance of watching them? Might have to try this 

I can understand that. Don't make yourself small for someone else's comfort. Hopefully it's not too difficult a day. ❤️ 

I've heard naps are good for you! So I'm glad you did! 
Noticing that eye roll... that cuts pretty deep. I know I'm not dumb with a capital d or anything but catching those little things makes me feel that way. 

Omgosh yeah people definitely don't like when boundaries are set. Took me a while to figure that out. I'm usually pretty good with other people's boundaries but my own were almost non-existent. 😬 You're right, we're all different and have different needs. I can't deny that sometimes I do wish there was someone to sit with and talk to

So if there was no feta, 😂 what kind of pizza did you get? My daughter caught some big bass fishies yesterday. Must have been a perfect day for them.

It might take them a little time to find those traps. It would be nice if the peppermint did do the trick though. 

We'd have a nice chat I think 😊 

Pizza was extra cheese and bacon. 🤤 Delicious! That will be supper tonight again lol

Hey that's awesome! 😊 Do you go fishing too? It was a really nice day for fishing. Nice temps and a breeze. Is your daughter doing ok? 

It's good though that lunch seemed to go fast. Kind of like you're getting used to being there? They must take things seriously to have a week of orientation. How are you supposed to remember everything? 😳

 I’ve been with her and sit, talk, and take pictures 😂😂 I don’t have the patience. If I cast, a fish better bite NOW. She’s doing good. She said the attempt was because of the relapse. Relapses happen. It’s part of recovery. 

It’s actually kind of redundant for me. A lot of it I learned in school, previous jobs, etc. so I’m over it 😂 CPR training when I’ve actually done it on humans. I think they should revise the training a bit. Does not apply to all and not all need certain things. I guess I got paid for it 🤷‍♀️ 

i had a cute boy come up to me today. I had my “dog mom” shirt on. He was so excited to tell me about his doggies. And of course show me all the chicken eggs he collected 🥰

 I’m kicking myself in the bum for not putting together meals this week like I did last week. 🤦‍♀️ I did just put together some overnight oats for tomorrow morning. Crap. I need lunch. I don’t have an hour tomorrow. 🤣

The pizza is delicious! It's a small family run pizza place. I would rather get from them than some big name place

The place I was on Sunday, as soon as the bait hit the water there was a fish lol! That's a nice way to spend time together! 😊

I'm glad she's doing good! You're right though, relapses do happen and they are a part of recovery. ❤️ 

They probably have to do it for their records too I'm sure. Making sure all the boxes are checked and everyone has the same training. It would be a pain being taught things you already know though

Aww that sounds like a really nice interaction with him! Chickens too! 😀 

Yeah that's going to take some getting used to probably with getting lunches and prepping meals. Especially since you're getting back to healthy eating again. I've never done over night oats. Might have to check that out!

The training is hella gettin to meeeeeee aaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh

Tomorrow I was told I’ll be where I’m supposed to be. Friggin best be. Or my Rs are really not going to be pronounced!!! 

Small family pizza shops are the best!!! ❤️

@peachThinker662 Omg 8 hours... I would have been bugging. 😳 Holy cow they're definitely making you go through the training! I mean it's good to be trained but 8 hours on a laptop is too much for one day. A good way to get a headache 😬


It does make sense. I feel that way too at times. Usually about the time I get around people, I realize I really don't like being around people all that much 😅 It like you're lonely but maybe only want to be around certain people or a certain person?

 Today I thought to myself. “Ok, this is for a reason” some one done messed up. Just like curling irons have a warning for external use only. 😂😂 sorry if that was inappropriate. 

Yea, maybe only certain people in my bubble. Comforting, loving, and supportive. 

Not strangers. I get what you’re saying. Sometimes I want to get out of the house and I’m like ew I don’t like these people. I was in a store one day, I’m little, and I had crouched down to look at something. A women -who was definitely tall- leaned OVER me to the shelf above. I don’t know how I didn’t punch her. I know that sounds awful. But when people get behind me by my head. Total trauma response. I don’t know why I just shared that. 

I sounds like a weirdo 🤪 just want the company I guess. 

I love hugs 🤗 thank you!!!!!

Yes! Those are the types of people we all need! 
Lol that sounds like me! 😂 ewww... I don't like these people! 😂 

Wow 😳 that would be such a weird experience! Omg she could have said excuse me or maybe went to the side? To reach over top you like that is rude and yeah I can understand that trauma response. I get that way when people crowd me. I mean come on! Stand any closer and you may as well just crawl in my pocket. Hop on I'll give you a piggy back ride 😅 
Too bad we can't think of some crude embarrassing comment to say 😂

@mytwistedsoul

 hi my dear. I feel awful for not chatting. I’ve been trapped in my own head. I feel like an absolute mess. It’s probably not that bad but sometimes it feels that way. That feeling no one likes me, I’m bothersome and have nothing valuable to say. 

I’m curious if I’m TOO close to my therapist. I think I look at her as a mother figure. Actually, I do. Therefore, I value her input incredibly. When I do things and don’t get the  ⭐️ from her it really takes me down. The job I took was misrepresented. So much. They didn’t have hours for me, gave me a tough time about my license, it was wild there, amongst other things. 

Now, I totally understand that fear gets the best of me and I run. As far and as fast as I can. 

I sent an email to my previous employer last week, because I was ridden with Shame of how I left. It was unprofessional and they were super supportive of me during, before and after my surgery. I just didn’t have the confidence in myself. 

I was offered my job back there and I took it. One thing I’ve sheets said is how much I love my co workers there. I go in when scheduled, out on time, and the money is good. I spoke with the surgeon and it’s expected for me to have residual pain for a bit. I got my medications/vitamins etc in order. When I shared this with my therapist, she told me to slow down. That I’m always in a rush. Valid. But she doesn’t like the job hopping. I don’t either. I’m just trying to find my place and what works for me, my house, my family. Idk 😔 feeling down on myself. Stuck in a rut that I’m trying to get out of. Idk that I’ve felt this way before. I’ve weighed pros and cons. I’ve always held a job. Have I had multiple, yes. I always take what’s offered. It’s not always the right thing. I keep focusing on everything has changed since the surgery. When I look back, that’s all I see. 

I’ve been out and about working, doing more things. Went to Boston last night for a concert. Spent time with family. 

How are you doing? How’s Pita and Dan doing? ❤️ Miss you J. Thanks for listening.

@peachThinker662 Hey! It's nice to see you! 😊 (Big hugs if ok)  I missed seeing you around ❤️


I think much of this with your therapist is pretty common. There has to be feelings of closeness with them. We share our thoughts, feelings and secrets with them. I think it's only considered too close when those professional and personal lines are crossed? If you would start hanging out or dating each other in your free time, that would obviously be a breach. It's pretty common too to see a therapist as a parental figure. Transference it's called. She provides what you've been missing. Safety, consistency and nurturing, so naturally you would look to her for approval. Have you talked to her about these feelings? It might be beneficial if you would. ❤️

Wow so they hired you to work there but didn't have the hours to give you? Were they expecting you to just be like a fill in for other people? You probably sent them a copy of your license at the beginning, did they say they had a problem with it then? 

You know it took a lot of courage to email your previous employer. I know your therapist referred to it as job hopping but maybe you can look at it as you tried something new? That takes courage too. To be offered your old job back and for you to accept it, shows that you were a good employee that they wanted you back and it took courage to accept it. Sometimes we're in situations that we just don't know what to do and if we don't have anyone to look to for guidance we can sometimes take missteps. Maybe it isn't always the right thing in the long run, but maybe it's the right thing in that moment? 

It can be hard to be patient with ourselves. Sometimes I think we all try rush and push through things because we want to be in a better spot in our lives. You've had trouble with your neck for years and had a lot of pain. There's bound to be some fear especially with working hard physically and you feel pain. It's probably been a while since you felt healthy pain (which sounds asinine 🤪) 

None of this makes you a bad person J and it doesn't make you a failure. You're human, it's as simple and complex as that. ❤️ 

A concert! Cool! And family time. Those are good things! 

Tbh the last few days I've been feeling a lot like how you mentioned in the beginning of your post. Feeling like I'm only any good when someone needs or wants something and like you, felt as though I have nothing of value to say and didn't want to be bothersome. I thought about checking in with you a few times but was worried I was being clingy or a nuisance. I went to bed last night feeling very much like I'd rather not wake up in the morning. Sometimes here I feel like people don't really like me, especially if I reply to someone and they don't say anything but yet they reply to everyone else type of thing. Feeling sorry for myself I guess and I let things spiral down. 
Dan and Pita are doing good. It's been cold here so Pita is sticking close to home and enjoying his warming pad that's in his house. 
Be gentle with yourself and your thoughts... try to. Things will work out, we just have to be patient (so hard to do) sending you lots of love and light

Hugs are always ok ❤️ I don’t get enough of them.

Wow! I never knew transference was a thing. That’s so interesting. I did talk to her about it. She’s so sweet. 🥹 She told me it’s ok and thanked me. She also said no matter what I do, it’s about me being happy with my decision and that’s what she wants to see more of from me.

They wanted me to work evenings. Though the hiring manager said days were available on the interview. The license thing is because of working in one state and living in another. Which is was told it wouldn’t be an issue and then I get we looked into it and you need another. Good grief.

So much courage to write that email and send it. And yes, I didn’t know what to do previously so it did feel right in that moment. Now it’s just a matter of acknowledging the pattern and moving forward.

Healthy pain is a good thing as asinine as it dies sound. Physically and emotionally. That survival mode. Lights a fire under the a.ss

Never hesitate to check in. I enjoy hearing from you. Never a bother. I like the company tbh. When we have negative thoughts, stressful situations, and our history, it’s SO easy for every little thing to stick like Velcro. I get it with the posts. Not feeling “in the cool crowd” overlooked. It just brings back abandonment stuff. Gratitude lists back on them. It can be helpful. I find prompts for them online at times. Because It can be challenging. I hope you are feeling better. But at the same time, rough days happen ❤️

Aww he has a warming pad? What a good cat dad.

You need to do the same my friend. Gentle. Calm. Slow. Hugs!!!

And I promise, you are never a nuisance or clingy. Far from it!

@peachThinker662 Yeah there does seem to be a shortage of hugs most days


That's great that you talked with her about it and that she told you that it's about you being happy with the decisions you make. I know it can be hard though. We tend to second guess ourselves a lot

Oh yuck! That would su.ck! I would t want to work evenings either. I mean you have your daughter and your aunt and cousin. They probably all work day shifts at their jobs. So it would be hard finding time to visit. And your doggos! You would have to readjust everyone's schedule! Sometimes I think people say things to rope us in. Maybe she thought there was a spot open for days but she should have and could have made you aware of the possibility of having to do nights. Just my thoughts. I wish people were a little more up front 

You're absolutely right. It can be so easy for things to stick. I try not to take those things personally but some days it just hits harder than others. I need to do better with gratitude. Or maybe be more grateful for the little things. 

He does! He has insulated and waterproof houses too. I tried having him inside but he's not litter trained. If it would get really cold or bad outside I can put him in the greenhouse with the stove. 

Thank you! I'll do my best. And J... you're never a bother either. I always enjoy hearing from you ❤️
Big hugs and lots of love to you

Exactly! Hit the nail on the head with everything as far as that job. Good riddens 😅 

I’m sorry, you may have said before, Pita was a stray? That’s so cute you did the houses and beds for him. 🥰 you take such great care of him. I love that. Lucky lil kitty kitty. 

I went for a nice walk today with a co worker. (Got my loves back in my life haha) We walked a dam in the next town over. Came home with pruned feet from the wet ground but well worth it ❤️

 funny story for you. My male dog. Who else 😂😂 Was licking my floor today. 😂😂 hardwood floors, lying there like it tasted like peanut butter or something…. I started video recording him, he stopped. Tongue out still stuck on the floor for a good 10 seconds. Then jumped up and ran at me, like “you didn’t catch anything!!” 😂😂 he’s so bizarre

i worked over the weekend. The girls I worked with are AMAZING. Absolutely great. 😮‍💨 so thankful for them. I got one of the best hugs toooooooo. Despite the challenges there was absolutely so much more good 💗💗💗

Sounds like a really nice way to spend the day! 😊 I'm so happy you had that opportunity to go for a walk with your co worker. 

😂 He sounds like a trip though! He would definitely keep you entertained with the silly things he does 😁 😂

You had a good work weekend and a hug! Woo hoo that's so great! Are you feeling more comfortable with going in? Not as much anxiety? It makes work so much better when you have people you enjoy working with

Holy cow that leaf is huge! 😮 That is so cool! Thank you for sharing it! It must be a pretty big tree!

@peachThinker662 He's 3 months old. He's already got me wrapped around his paws. He follows me every where! 😊 He's catching on to house training really quick and has only had two accidents and those were on piddle pads so I guess they technically weren't accidents?  


Omgosh he makes me laugh so much. 😊 He chases leaves and me. He successfully stalked and massacred a dozen in one night. Loves the cat and the cat seems ok with him. Pita hasn't hissed at him at all and rubs up against him. I told Yogi he owns you now too lol 😂 

It probably sounds pretty corny but he makes my heart happy ❤️ 

It's been a long time since I've had a puppy. I have to admit I'm kind of nervous. And my brain likes to remind me of all kinds of things that could happen to him. And I worry about how this might affect some things but I try to also remind myself that he'll learn and so will I as we go. We'll figure it out ya know?

He's been doing great with training! I thought it would be harder (said quietly and knocks on wood) 😅😂 

He's so funny in the leaves and after he's done with those, he does a drive by and u ties my shoelaces. Last night his ball went under the couch and I grabbed a flashlight to see where it went... he stole that too 😂😂 

Yeah ❤️ the good definitely outweighs the fears and concerns. Today we did some crate training and some leash work.

@peachThinker662 Sometimes I think I'm afraid of bringing in the good. I think maybe it's because we know that they don't always last? Or maybe we had what we thought were good things but in the end we discovered it wasn't as good as we thought? Sometimes I think I was blind to good things too. Maybe because good things bring happiness? Happiness is scary too because it can be taken away so easily 


How's your daughter? I remember you had mentioned the two of you painting a room? Maybe that's something you could still do together, even if she's not staying there? 

Is the X-ray something you need to make an appointment for or can you just go in for one? I hope it shows that you're healing well ❤️

She went back to her apartment. She decided to move in with her dad in a few weeks. I’m back to seeing her when she does laundry.

I went in for the X-ray!!!!! I read today after I got it done that 80-90% of patients show fusion at this time. Dude I will jump for joy!!!!!!! No joke. Back in the day it would’ve been a high kick with a round off 😂 I’ll do it in my head!

 I’m going to bother you again 😁

 Just feeling a bit lonely. I had such great news today. I got hugs from people at work, don’t get me wrong, it was lovely. I would’ve liked to come home, had adult conversation with someone, flourished with hugs, flowers. Just to lie in bed to relax with someone holding me. 

Sometimes I don’t feel as if I will ever find that. Sometimes I think of all the hurdles I’ve crossed. It could happen. 

I try to love myself and give my inner child love. But, idk I guess it just feels different from others. A compliment. A hug. A kiss. Someone to hold me. Hold my hand. Just give me a hug for no reason but simply they want to be near me and enjoy my time. Someone to laugh with, be silly with. Have dinner with. Cook together even. I’ll settle for simple right now. Just a text message I’m on their mind. I’ve been focusing so much on myself and growth. It’s exhausting. 

Meh 

that’s my sob story

I want to go throw up now.

@peachThinker662 Omg if that's not a selling review I don't know what is! 😂😂

You put in a hard days work, plus you're still healing, even if it's not as noticeable. The muscles and bones need to do a little more work, so they take some energy too. 



You're never a bother! 😊 You got great news! That's great!  

I understand. It is hard not having someone to share the highs and lows of life. To have someone to celebrate with if it was a good day or someone to console you if it was a bad day. I do think that there's someone out there for each of us, it just takes some of us a little longer to find them. Maybe you could take a class somewhere? That might help you meet people. Which I know it's really kind of scary to do things like that. But in a group setting it might feel safer knowing you're not alone with someone right away. Do any of your coworkers have any single guy friends?

@peachThinker662 It's cold out here. I need to check the stove and pipes sometime this weekend. Soon be time to turn on the heat! 


The little velociraptor is doing good. He's teething 😅 I gave him a chilled green bean to gnaw on earlier. He liked that. Poor guy, his mouth hurts and there doesn't seem to be much to help. Other than chew toys 😕 

Aww sounds like she was having fun! She's all snuggled and keeping you both warm ! 😊

It was a cold windy day here. Worked with Yogi on the leash. Which he doesn't like much right now. 😅 The crate he absolutely despises. Right now he's sleeping... until I try to sleep 😂

@peachThinker662 His growls are really cute. I tell him he sounds so vicious 😂 Aww I bet he makes a very cute guard... snoring away 😊 


Do you get a lot of tricker treaters there? None come here lol. They'd be too scared to come up the lane 
Cruella sounds like an awesome costume! Have fun shopping for it. Are you going to do a wig or actually dye your hair? 😁 There are some really amazing decorations out there and the costumes! Some people are like wizards when it comes to doing makeup!

The smoke alarm went earlier this evening a couple times. My poor boy was shaking. ❤️ I had a pillow next to him for a bit. Hugging him. He ended up panting, sweating and falling asleep. A lil bit later I asked if he was ready to go to bed. He stayed on the couch even with a cookie bribery. 😔 fell asleep and came upstairs to lie on me. My poor lil boy. So it’s a slumber party tonight. It was interesting to see his anxiety attack, how he recovered and the after bath. Able to put it in perspective for myself.

We get a handful of trick or treaters. Not many,

I haven’t decided if I should buy the hair color you can spray on, or a wig. I have such thick hair, it may be impossible to cover. Or I would have to buy enough cans that it might just be worth to buy the wig.

A friend of mine did Ursula last year. I wasn’t working so I went over and did her makeup. She looked awesome. Hoping for the same outcome for myself. ❤️

@peachThinker662 Oh no! Those smoke alarms can be really upsetting. Poor guy. The girls used to get so upset at it too. Not shaking upset but barking like crazy. The alarm would be going off, they're running around barking. Pure chaos. 

The fact that you couldn't even bribe him with a cookie says a lot . Cookies are pretty powerful motivators 

A wig would probably be easier I think? That spray color stuff can be really hard to wash out. Ursala! That's so cool! Aww I bet you'll look great! Cruella is a good choice for a costume 

Aww a slumber party! 😊 They're so sweet and you're such an awesome pet parent. I hope everyone is feeling better after the smoke alarm incident ❤️

Hey Snow White is pretty cool. It's definitely a bummer that no one else dressed up though. I saw a few people dressed up yesterday when I ran some errands
Spackle or joint compound 😁 You're doing some renovations! Tearing out carpet and fixing holes and using a hammer woohoo! 💪

Things are getting better. There’s been lots of tears and panic. Little by slow. Reminders. Journaling. Affirmations. Breathing. I went for a walk today. I took a day of guilt free rest as well today. ❤️ FirsT time in a long time. I’ve had some amazing people in my life and I’m letting them in. ❤️

@peachThinker662 That is so great! Well... not the tears and panic of course ❤️ But the journaling and affirmations and reminders. I'm proud of you for how hard you're working and that you took a day of guilt free rest. Super proud that you're letting good people in too. That is awesome!

@mytwistedsoul

 wow. I’m very sorry I haven’t spoken to you in weeks!!! 

Literally trying to get my head out of my a$$

i was out driving the other day and the car in front of me had a dog in the front seat. As I took my turn , The dog turned his head and I yelled out loud YOGI!!! Looked Just like him and I smiled thinking of you and our conversations. 

Ive been trying with work. I really truly don’t like it there. I’m fed up with my co workers asking “you ok” “you’re quiet” I can’t stand the population I work with. By no fault of their own, because I really used to love it. It’s just too triggering at this time. I want to have that excitement of I get to go work rather than 😣 I have to go to work. And I’ve been at that state for a few months. If not before the surgery. 

I’ve been gathering information of what I want to do. I’ve taken a job with children again but not without asking ask the questions and reading the fine print. I’m hoping this is much more suitable. Kids. They’re just so loving. And there’s babies. So yes please! 

I haven’t wanted to come on here because it can be hard to read some of the posts when I’m working so hard on myself. It’s like please just let positivity and gratitude show up but that’s definitely not always the case. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve posted some sad-anxious things, but it’s just idk hard to see sometimes. I’m grateful for those who’ve been able to respond. 

My daughter had relapsed again. It was the worst yet. The scariest moment as a mother. She was in the ICU for a week and another week on the behavioral health unit. 

Al anon has been there for me. It’s great having people to talk with over the phone and hear their stories. And where they are now. I hope one day that can be her and I . ❤️

 so yes, lots of changes over here. Hoping for growth and inner self love. 💕 

Hope you are doing well my friend. I miss you! 🥰

@peachThinker662 Lol! That's funny! 😄 YOGI! 

Aww no worries. I figured you were busy and had a lot going on. 
There's a lot of memories, both good and bad around that job I bet. It would be confusing and frustrating. 
You got a new job?! That's great! And you're using the things you learned from the other one. Asking the right questions and reading the fine print. That is awesome! ❤️ 
I can understand not wanting to come here and risk pulling yourself down with some things that you read here. 
Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear about her relapse. I hope with all I have that she beats the addiction and gets better. It would definitely be so scary as a parent. 
It's good you've found al-anon! I hope they continue to be a place of hope for you and that you and your daughter get to a good place together ❤️
Keep me posted but there's absolutely no pressure or anything
Sending you light and love. Take good care of yourself ❤️

 She is now living with her dad and I’m ok with that. ❤️

I got 2 snoring babies in bed with me. One at my feet, the other at my head. lol

My therapist thinks Al anon might be too much for me. And very well could be. Backing down a bit. I think when you keep pushing, it’s too much, gotta step back. Plus, I’m the type of person that takes it ALL in. I empathize, sympathize, and don’t forget internalize. 😂 

How’s our baby? 

Mr enjoys yoga with me. Sorry about MY dogs in the photo  🦶 🤣

@peachThinker662 Sorry I'm losing time. 

If it's a safe place for her that's all that matters. I really hope she can kick the addiction. I keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️ 

Oh yeah, I can see that it might be too much. I mean it's a good thing but sometimes too much of a good thing can cause problems too. I think something like that would become draining. Especially when you're dealing with things yourself. 

Baby is a furry land shark. He's teething and we're working on stopping his biting. Right now he's sleeping beside me and looking like the angelic little being he is. 😅 He can finally go up steps on his own but needs a ride down them. 

Your yoga master has such a cute face! Such a handsome guy! 😊

@peachThinker662 I wonder about you a lot but not in a bad way. I wonder if you're safe, if you're taking care of yourself. 

I see a woman (age is irrelevant) who is dealing with a lot of things all at once. I see someone who spent years in physical pain, and now she's trying to figure out herself and what she wants for her future. I see someone who is trying their best to be their best. It's hard to be patient sometimes, especially when we're not where we want to be, but you're trying. I see you trying and I believe in you ❤️

@peachThinker662 I'm not comfortable with it either. I haven't cried in a few years now

Oh Peach! Nurses in general are worth their weight in gold but a pediatric nurse is so AWESOME!

It makes sense that you went into substance abuse on behalf of your sister but it's really understandable that you need to distance yourself from that branch of nursing with your daughter struggling. Omgosh it would be so triggering at work every day seeing people struggle with addiction. You're absolutely right with not deserving the abuse and threats in any environment. 

Babies hold a lot of promise and hope. I wish you all the best with this new journey! ❤️ I think you'll be a great pediatric nurse! 😊

@peachThinker662 That makes sense. Each case is probably different and each situation. You would need to know certain things for each one


Omg she gave you the best birthday gift ever! 🤭 Dang you did luck out! 


Are you feeling better? You've been through a lot the past couple months, physically and mentally. After all that it's not hard to think worse case scenarios. 


Omgosh! No way! 😂 I've heard a lot about pickle ball, saw a few shorts but have never played. The rules are kind of goofy aren't they? 😂 It sounds like you had a great time! I'm so happy for you, you definitely deserve a good fun filled day and the fact that it was on your birthday makes it even more special! ❤️ I hope you all go play again! 


Mmmm.. giant pancakes 😋 and lunch! Good for you! Sounds like you hit it off with your coworkers too! That is really great! It's not a birthday unless everyone at a restaurant knows too!  

(Give you a big bear hug) Happy Birthday Peach! 😊 ❤️ Relaxing in bed sounds like a wonderful way to end a wonderful day! Lots of love from me and Yogi to you and your fur babies ❤️❤️
