    • About Me

      When my feet touch the floor in the morning satan says" Oh shit!!! She is awake!!" I actually am not a religious person but am a very spiritual person. Not sure what to think some days or why. But I do know I want to smile. I want MY "sanity" back. I have a signifigant other who is trying so hard to fully understand everything I am going through and who is so supportive, which is oh such a change for me!

      From shineysparkles March 18

      Thank you for the kind words. I started Lamictal almost 2 weeks ago and I think it's causing me horrible stomach pain and nausea at times. I want to keep taking it because I had some luck with it in the past before I lost my insurance and had to stop taking it. But since i'm unemployed I'm going through the state now. I'm just trying to keep my mind off the pain and hope it passes. It's so hard to be 37 and feel like a failure in your life. I thought things would get easier as I got older and they have just gotten worse and worse. So anyway, I hope you have defeated satain today and have a day filled with spirital joy.
