Painful Stories

  • Fears

    Friday, March 21, 2008 | A Painful story

    I believe that I have overcome my fear of personal space.  If anyone gets close to me, I no longer react to want to kick him or her; although, it will always be a daily battle until Christ returns.
    I had a 30 minute panic attack last night when I made myself deal with the pitch dark.  I don't think I am fully ready to have my apartment completely dark.  I do have a night light t...

  • Elbow Update

    Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Painful story

    I went to the doctor and I left frustrated.  Here are the positives:  no dislocation and no fractures.  All he did was an x-ray, and made his diagnosis off that, which was "Post-traumatic stiffness."  He did not do a thorough enough exam, or let alone order a CT or MRI to figure out why I couldn't fully get my arm straight or to turn it well.  He didn't ...

  • Truth vs. Lie

    Saturday, November 22, 2008 | A Painful story

    Truth:  I am up again at 3 a.m. unable to sleep.  I remember that night telling myself that I was strong.  Well, when someone I knew told me that I am a strong person, it made me feel good.  I didn't feel strong the night of the rape despite telling him, "No!" multiple times, and him not respecting me as well as drugging me.
    Lie:  He kept manipulating me to g...

  • Death of Favorite Grandfather

    Monday, March 23, 2009 | A Painful story

    I have a sad update for you.  My favorite grandfather of all time, Vincent Bruha died on March 17, 2009 at the age of 82 in Nebraska.  He stopped eating and drinking the day previously, which he had bouts of before and snapped out of it, but this time around he did not.  I miss him dearly.  He taught me a lot about life.  Here is the link to his obituary in the North Plat...

  •   Its been 10 days since I got the phone call that let me know my boyfriend had lost all his memory....no word of how severe his head injury is, or if its other injuries combined. My friend told me that if he was injured in Pakistan, and it was severely serious they would have transported him to a hospital in Germany, then to the U.S.....but its all speculation.
    I can't sleep, somed...

    Monday, August 10, 2009 | A Painful story
