    • About Me

      Good and bad things that have happened this year: 1. Went back to school 2. Got a place of my own to rent 3. Lost a friend 4. Got my GED 5. Had my birthday 6. Had a car accident 7. Lost my Grandpa. This year has been good and bad. The bad has not been much, but quite heavy in its own way - the loss of my friend and the car accident has left me feeling very bruised and emotional. I know that I will get through this, for I have learned that God is a strength to those when they need strength!

    • Interests

      I love singing and reading - and writing and acting... and drawing.... oh, and going to school and talking. I love my church, and my God - He has helped me through so much this year. I especially love being in my churches choir. It makes me feel so great to know that by me being up there, someone else is being blessed!

      I love singing and reading - and writing and acting... and drawing.... oh, and going to school and talking.

      Type: Loss of a Friend

      The story? It's a long one. I had a friend who I shared a home with. He was like a father to me. Unfortunately, like most things, it turned bad and I moved away this past September. Yesterday I found out that he was dead, and it didn't hit me that the friend who loved and supported me for 5 years is gone.

      Treatments

      Crying Too Soon to Tell
      Right now, it's really too soon to tell anything, because the grief is so overpowering it hurts. My eyes hurt from all the crying.

      Talking Working / Worked
      This does help somewhat, but it does inevitably lead back to the crying.
    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      No one could have told me that May 6, 2008 was going to be the day that would change my life, but at 2:13 in the afternoon, I was struck down by a minivan while I was making my way on the crosswalk. At first I thought I was fine, but recently, I have become more agitated and emotionally raw - I can't sleep, and I am confused a lot of the time. I just want it to stop. I really do.
