Dear world
Dear world I quit I suppose i should fill in a few more details of why. Basically I am exhausted, mentally and physically. Been strong for everyone else for 54 years, now its time to borrow from the 3 musketeers. All for one, and all for me. Ok borrow and change it a bit, sure they wont mind too much.

Take the matter in hand
Due to memory problems brought on my disability I remeber things in odd orders or at odd times. Thinking of how I can add to the naked public photography tales I tried to think of other tales. for some reason I remembered the day I decided to have play with myself, in a classroom, surrounded by other people.

water water everywhere
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. A summary never heard before as the news ended. The newsreader appeared to shrug and shake his head briefly. Obviously trained to give bad new and to report on emergencies, this was beyond anything ever considered.

fibromyalgia. Content Warning.
Most advice that you will get if you ask for help with your mental health will contain some stock phrases. Make life changes, change your outlook and live your life differently. I have been there with psychiatrists and read it all many years, I have even tried it myself , with varying degrees of success.

14 hours on the other side
This about my recent experience of a long night in hospital and how it felt on the other side from my normal life. I am a full time carer in a supported living home , I have adult kids with special needs and have volunteered with numerous groups for people with disabilities. Recently my health has suffered and last week it all got turned around.

Strange memories
This could get confusing as its about my strange memory, I know what I want to write but truthfully I might forget bits while doing it. It has been damaged by breakdowns many years ago and presently due to fibromyalgia. The present disability gives brain fog, getting worse when tired. It means I forget names, places and conversations. I can see what I want to say but the words go missing somewhere between my brain and mouth.
