Another Day, but Not Another Dollar

Charlotte Kingsbury-Fink October 8, 2024 0 Comments
Photo by Ruth Gledhill on Unsplash It feels as though I am in a sort of time warp. There is only one direction to go, and one way to be, and I need to cling onto this. I need to trust in God, no matter what comes my way.  . I feel like I have lost everything and everyone. People think I am on meth when I meet them, but that is not the case. Have I really lost everything and everyone?...

My Living Nightmare

Photo by Transly Translation Agency on Unsplash I have been through a living nightmare, as of late. I just got out of the psych ward very recently. I can’t get into the whole thing at the moment, and it’s hard to swallow what really happened. I went from thinking I no longer had Bipolar 1, and just had Autism, ADHD, and complex PTSD, under a Drs care. An NP took me off of all my medications...

The Other Me

It's poetry time! Hello, and I hope you are doing great! I'm sitting here with my cats and my loyal dog, Annie, reading poetry from other authors. She follows me around the house wherever I go, and she's the sweetest and such a goofy girl. Today I wrote a poem about the other me that forms when I need to face the world. Since I experience dissociation, I have a disconnect that kicks in by...

I’m More than Just a Walking Mental Illness

I did not recently write this. I found it in my drafts and thought I would post it to remember how far I've come.  Even though I thought I was in a good place when I wrote this, I am in a much better place now. Onward and upward, being gentle with myself about the losses.    I’m More than Just a Walking Mental Illness I’m a human being, just like you, and have feelings too....

Happy Wednesday!!!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! I hope that you are having a great week and are staying safe out there. My week seems to be gradually declining, and today hit me like a stop sign in the face as I attempted to get out of bed this morning. I finally made it, but later than planned. Luckily I could afford to stay in bed a little longer this morning, but that will...

The Joy of Having to Take Our Meds

Happy Wednesday! Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! Once again, today is garbage day and I am using it not only as a day to get rid of all of our trash but also as a day of cleansing and renewal. Beginning the day with a purpose helps the rest of the day go well for me. I listen to prayers and meditations with Bible readings to help calm me and I really benefit from it. I find that when I...

    Woohoo for Cinco de Mayo Hello, hello, hello and happy Cinco de Mayo! My family and I celebrated early yesterday because my kids are going to be with their Dad tonight.

My son wanted to play with matches, and I know that it is supposed to be a no-no, but he is a teenager and was supervised so I...
