Oh you're so welcome! I am glad to be of help. Trust me getting this out, and bonding with someone over these things, is so helpful to me. It's been missing in my life for quite some time, as my friends who suffer with mental illness who I relate to, are impossible to relate to anymore, which has been a real struggle for me emotionally.

Alcohol doesn't solve everything, and I truly believe the Band-Aid it provides doesn't do anything but produce a hangover compounded with overwhelming guilt. So, yeah, I'd like to skip that please!

I so know what its like to be MOVED by things, and now its just bleh. I still have a need to hear people's stories, I mean I read blogs and of course I come here. But wow! A Master's in Divinity! I can only imagine what knowledge you have, totally jealous here!

Fashion has been such a highlight of life, especially living in a place like NYC, (Fashion Week is next week), and not being able to fit in the wardrobe I spent thousands of dollars collecting over the years, as well as the entire ROOM filled of shoes I have, is totally heartbreaking. I mean I CAN fit into the shoes, but who the hell wants to wear heels with sweatpants, and for that matter who the hell even wants to wear heels anymore? UGH!

As far as the sports goes, I really hope the injuries don't hold you back. If I had the drive or even the joy enough to run I totally would. But, in my world, walking around in my neighborhood, is completely boring and dull to me, where as being out in nature used to be a real thrill for me. Thank you medication! (Sigh).

If you need a push to do some journaling, I am more than happy to lend some advice. I don't journal anymore, but I do have a blog, and man, it is a Godsend to me! It's probably one of the only things I enjoy creatively anymore. But yes, its sad, but it doesn't have to be hopeless. Chin up!
