Been Awhile, Where Do I Start??
I'm sorry for not posting sooner. I'm weird that way. Looking back, I definitely should've.
Let's see, the thing with my husbands job, that is still ongoing. We have a lawsuit with The Bureau of Labor and Industry. BOLI. But it's been long and ardous and I don't see an end in sight. My step dad died in November and oddly enough, out of the blue, my husbands ex-wife, my step-daughters mom died suddenly 2 days after Christmas.
So, needless to say, we didn't celebrate anything this year. No Thanksgiving, no Christmas, not even a single gift, (which I've never done that), not even my birthday in January.
I did end up seeing a counselor tho and I lucked out on who I chose. Her and her husband work together. He's a doctor, neurologist, immunologist and quite frankly, thee most intelligent person that I have ever spoken with. We could've talked all night about "epigenetics".
I have an adjustment disorder which simply means I'm not handling stressful events as they come my way, then was totally side swiped with what happened with my husbands job and it got worse from there. I have PTSD and have discovered that not only was I abused by my brother, I was pretty much terrorized by him. Between him and the violent alcoholic men with that lovely sour breath that brings back so many memories, it's no wonder I struggle with intimacy.
I am managing all of this amazingly well in their opinion, considering what has happened. I'm struggling with the dopamine reward system, cravings, whenever I get stressed.
It's Valentine's Week and I'm a florist, what can I say!! LOL!
Wish I had better news but it's not all that bad I guess.
