I need to stand up for myself & notice when I’m being disrespected…

My choices in life have led me to allow others to disrespect me. I’ve allowed it and just stopped noticing when it is happening. So then I don’t stop it from happening and it just keeps continuing. How did I find out I was being disrespected? I told my man some things that were said …

It’s been a long time…

Hi everyone, I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post. Since then things have gone downhill, I've been very moody, depressed, strange, tired, confused, anxious, snappy and just plain unhappy 😔.Turns out going off the contraceptive pill can do this (wish the dr had mentioned it). It's been 3 very long months of …

I am strong…

Next week I am taking my man and his son to the airport to see them off on there Greek adventure.  I’m excited for them, but I will miss my bf terribly. I am a much stronger, mature woman now and I’m so happy that they can go explore another country. If all goes well …

Not PTSD…

During my psychologist appointment the other day the dr concluded that I do not suffer ptsd. Simply because I do not look over my shoulder in fear, I don’t freak out over loud noises and I don’t have dreams that cause me to feel like I’m back in the bad situation. My “problem ” is …
