ECT or TMS
I have a consultation next week for ECT. Yes, that ECT. Electroconvulsive therapy. I hate that it has come to this, but after the disaster in Panama I need to come to terms with the fact I'm not a functional person. So much of my living is impaired by mental illness. The reason I'm still … Continue reading ECT or TMS
SciFi Dream Girl
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I use intellect rather than emotion. The foundation of my faith is intellectual belief, not loving or feeling loved by God. Loving God or reminding myself He loves me is a good thing to remember to do from time to time, but it isn't my focus. I value truth … Continue reading SciFi Dream Girl
Agoraphobia?
I'm back at home now after a terrible trip to Panama. I was on the phone with my health coach today, and she suggested that my experience sounded like agoraphobia. My reactions to cities and other busy places aren't normal. I feel worn out and defeated. The life of travel I dreamed of won't happen. … Continue reading Agoraphobia?

I made a post on Instagram saying that, and it got deleted as hate speech that incites violence.

Christian Collage
This is an assortment of Bible verse collages I made a few years ago. Some are hard to read, but all have beautiful images that I found. I hope you enjoy them.
Sometimes Things Don’t Work Out
I'm writing this from Casco Viejo in Panama. I am doing badly. Leaving the hotel room is a struggle. Twice I have had panic attacks in public. Mental illness is very real. This week my husband has work to do. Our romantic vacation ends tomorrow and we go to a different hotel in another part … Continue reading Sometimes Things Don’t Work Out
A Good Friend Knows Pedestrians Are Speedbumps
What quality do you value most in a friend? What do I mean by that? Well, do you ever drive through a parking lot and get irritated with the dawdling pedestrians? Do you start assigning each of them a point value based on size and how easy they are to catch? Do you know that … Continue reading A Good Friend Knows Pedestrians Are Speedbumps
