support

A solid support system is invaluable for one's recovery from psychiatric illness and mental health issues.

Where did the children go?
November 2019 The ride back from seeing Racheal was anything but boring. I kept thinking about whether I should go to the STAR group the next day, and I must have thought of a thousand excuses not to. I was worried about crowds and didn’t want to make another trip into the city. But honestly, none of those excuses were solid enough to skip it, especially since I had already told Racheal I would be there.

The Walk of Shame
I used to call it the walk of shame but not the one you all know about—it was the two-minute walk from the bus drop-off to my desk at the office where I used to work.

When He took it away from me
I pushed so many people away from fear of rejection, and no patience. My ex-husband has no patience when was in college before taking a semester or two off he would threaten me that he would leave me. This feeling was so damaging to be I wasn't sure of what to think or say. I felt like Shane took away my ability to trust, and to love.

When I Was In Psychiatric Ward
Everyone has stereotypes about these kinds of words. The stigma of mental illnesses are still strong, enough to say that the stigma is brought up in families. For family members to fear these struggles. No one will understand until it is them.

The Buddy System for Health?
I used to be motivated to keep my body healthy and avoid gluttonous eating behavior for vanity's sake and for ambition's sake. Sadly, both my vanity and ambition have been crucified, so I have no reason to care about losing weight except for comfort levels. I can still walk to my car and get out of my chair and wipe myself in the bathroom, so who cares if the doctor calls me "obese" or some health nut calls me "frumpy".

Where do you shop for "Phat" clothes?
Not many people hear this from me, but my mother had turned into a full blown lesbian after her 5th straight marriage failed. It was a weird adjustment period for me, and when I asked her if lesbian life was any better or worse, she said there was no difference. At that point, I knew that my bisexual claim was and will always be the truest of the rainbow clan. I mention my relations to the rainbow world because I've been indulging in some entertainment viewing of the rainbow sort. I'm building this up, leading to the plus size clothing industry as I connect the dots regarding lesbians and body image.
