  • Still Shaky w/ Abstinence

    Sunday, April 6, 2008

    I know what I'm doing is not good for my body? Why haven't I been able to stop? My emotions don't seem to be the culprit. Getting obsessed over the tiniest things seems to be a trigger. Shopping is a trigger. I have to be more aware of negative self talk. It could be as little as "I am taking too long completing this goal". Actually, that's a very common comment I make t...

  • I HATE MY LIFE!

    Wednesday, May 21, 2008

    Shit! I can't even complain about anything anymore... When I do, I get told that my day isn't that bad? Crap! What do they know! Only I know how I feel! I have been sick for the last 3 days with no relief. It is due to lack of sleep. It has now been 5 days with insufficient or no sleep! How the heck is that good!!!!
    I found out that someone that I had just started to trust, had been lying ...

  • OSCAR

    Wednesday, July 2, 2008 | A Painful story

    Last night I had to rush Oscar to the animal hospital. The Dr. there said that it looks like he has a brain tumor. There is a tiny chance it may only be a liver infection (Build up of uric acid can cause similar symptoms..) but she doubts that it is. She is almost certain it is a tumor. I spent most of last night crying, and now have a huge headache. I doubt I will be on much over the next few da...

  • Something is wrong.

    Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    OK this is the third time in a few weeks that I have gotten sick to my stomach. I don't think it's the flu. I went out one night, ate mexican seafood and drank a wine that I have never heard of. I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

  • Just stuff

    Monday, October 27, 2008

    Sometimes I ask myself why did they choose me? Why was I the target of all of the sexual abuse? How can a parent and grandparent find a 6 month old little girl sexually arousing? Why couldn't my father meet his sexual needs by having sex with his wife? Why couldn't my mother meet her sexual needs by having sex with her husband? Did they find each other unattractive enough that they had to...

  • R.I.P. Joshua Edward Fritzler, my baby angel

    Tuesday, July 29, 2008 | A Tragic story

    At 3:00am on July 28, 2008 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Joshua Edward Fritzler. He was only 5 months old, weighed 1 pound, and was 10 inches long. He was with us in this world for a precious 45 minutes before passing on.
    A funeral/burial will be held this week to honor Joshua. 
    A Prayer for Joshua Edward Fritzler
    Never to have know you, but to have loved you.
    Never to have held you, the...
