hello
Wow, its been over 2years since my last post. A lot of things have changed, but a few things are still the same. Instead of going into great detail, ill just bullet point.
*I still have depression, but my doctor says its not as bad as it was.
*I'm a mum now :) my boy is just over a year old and one of the best things to happen to me,
*I'm a single mum tho. I got rid of that boyfriend who kept falling for his female friends. We tried to work through it but it just didnt work out. He is my sons father tho
*My arthritis has been savage as ever, Its only ever been this bad once and thats when It was first starting out.
*I am 40% of the time still losing my grip onto reality. Mainly cause when I reach out to someone around me, something is always worse than what I'm feeling.
Its been a long time since I actually felt good about myself. I mean before i got pregnant, I had lost 10kgs and was finally feeling ok about myself. But now, after having my son, I can't seem to shake the weight. No matter what I do. Its been hard coming to terms with it. But all i care about is that my son is healthy. (well not atm, he as Bronchitis. Poor guy) I wouldn't trade the feeling i get when i look at him for the world. Its been a long road. Its also currently winter here, so its like im in my own personal hell. Doctor gave me codiene but it doesn't do anything, except tasty completely nasty.
I'm also going for tests for my kidneys. Ever since I was 15weeks pregnant, Ive had 3 kidney infections and they come on so strong and without warning. Ive changed my diet and cut out fizzy drinks and all that, but nothing seems to be helping. Its really starting to effect my pelvis and my mobility. Im 24 and walking around like im 70.
Well that's what ive been upto the past years. Not a lot of exciting things.
If you wanna chat, feel free. Im always up for giving a good advice sesh or to just chat :)

Nice to hear from you! (((HUGS))) I am currently taking care of my mnl, she broke her arm in an auto accident. Glad to hear your depression is better and you have a baby! LOL! Loved having kids! I hope you can get your kidneys straightened out. I suppose you were told what if any food and drinks would help. Hope to hear from you soon. (((HUGS)))
Oh no. Sorry to hear about your mnl. That's terrible. Thank you, i think once i get the bursting into tears in random situations, under control, things will get better. I wasn't told about any foods helping, as i cut out diary and gluten and stuff. It just made my anemia worse. So I thinks it's something I just have to deal with.
Sorry , I didn't get any notification on your reply! I used to check often, but none of my friends was ever commenting. After they changed the old format people started leaving. So how are things going now? My arthritis is getting worse but I still enjoy mowing my own yard, The hard part is when I use the weed wacker/trimmer, the battery is harder to change out because of the pain in my fingers. This year it's been raining a lot and my yard is soggy. I have already mowed my lawn twice this year! Mostly in front of house for appearances because I don't like it looking shabby but we do have an HOA that would complain if you let it go too long. LOL! They don't have to worry about us, we like our house looking nice. My mnl's arm is all healed and she is back home taking care of herself and doing fine. Told her as much as I care about her, I couldn't do it again because it is too hard on me. She is in her 80's and I could hardly do anything that would keep me too busy or away for more than a few minutes. I think she was so scared about the arm that she couldn't think to do anything for herself. After a while not quite two weeks from the day of her accident, I had to get her to make an effort to do things for herself. And she wouldn't take the pain meds. that would have helped her sleep and do some things for herself. She would not even comb her hair even though she had the other arm to use! I had to tell her to do it! LOL! So I told her she better not expect that luxury of having a me there if she has another accident. She wanted to pay me or get me something nice but there is nothing I wanted but for her to be able to take care of herself again. But if she would have been rich, I might have thought of something she could have bought me. LOL!
