My circumstantial issues are still weighing on me but my family and I are taking it one moment at a time and getting through this tough period.

I gave up artificial sweeteners years ago due to it causing my IBS to flair. My husband bought some orange flavored crystal light single packs that you put in a bottle of water and I took a sip of his and it was so delicious and refreshing that I STUPIDLY decided to have my own. I've been up for hours screaming and crying in the bathroom from the pain and stomach churning. I'm finally starting to feel a bit better but I will never touch artificial sweeteners again. Lesson relearned.

Hind sight is usually 20/20 but living in the moment I'm blind. Just hope I'm making the right decisions for everyone right now.
