I’ve turned a huge corner with the depression, finally. I wake up feeling excited about life again. 🙂 I’m happily obsessed with my face painting business, enjoying many creative projects, and coping a lot better with the chronic pain. There’s still a lot of hours or even days in bed while the fibro is so severe, but my headspace is so much better it’s manageable. I’m even planning to adopt a kitten with Rose. 🙂 I’m missing out on a lot of art college, which is frustrating, but hopefully next semester I can re evaluate it all. For now – things are good. There are pansies blooming in my garden, a kitten coming home soon, time to hang out with friends… I’m able to keep on top of jobs about the house with the extra time at home, and doing lots of thinking and journaling to make sense of things. I’m fragile and being careful, but things are going well. 🙂
