Dear Nichole:

Good to read back from you 2 months and a week since you last posted.

“I think my medication is helping a lot. Finally consistent and it has been well over 6 months. Also consistent weekly therapy with a therapist that I am trusting“- congratulations on taking your healing process seriously and getting help!

“I had been in contact with my Aunt and went to see her in May when life got really difficult. It was not as successful as a reunion as I would of liked. But a lesson well learned. I put myself in that blender you warned me about again“- yes, the blender, I remember.

I am sorry that you lost your grandma, on your father’s side.

“Things have been a littler smoother in my life for about 2 months now. It is nice. I have been more in touch with gratefulness and joy versus only that constant fear… I don’t rush myself anymore. I simply told myself I had been thinking of you since I seen your reply and that today is the day I wouldn’t procrastinate“- good to read that life is a little smoother for you and that you don’t rush anymore. Glad that you posted today, but I don’t want you to feel any pressure to reply quicker to this post. No pressure/ no rushing!

“No more bashing myself. I really am learning not to be mean to me anymore“- yes, I am all for that! Thank you for learning to not be mean to you!

“I recently lost my part time job that I had been doing Full time and that was stressful but I have been searching for a more traditional position again with better pay“- you were always a hard worker!

“Oh and I got a kitty! I love him. It has been a week and he is really evoking that love button in me. Lots of work though“- how cute, a kitty!

“How are you Anita? I hope well despite our world still going a bit crazy“- yes, our world is still going crazy, but I am maintaining my hard-earned sanity best I can, thank you for asking. I will soon go on my daily walk, there is less smoke in the air, from the wildfires.
