Back in the game

The bad news is that I have been very ill. Due to all the other “stuff” going on in my life I was physically and emotionally stressed and not taking care of myself. And, when I began to experience some symptoms that needed medical attention, instead of going to the doctor I wrote the symptoms off as being fibromylagia related and/or menopause related when they weren’t.

The good news is that I finally recognized my self neglect. I got a correct diagnosis and effective treatment. Thanks to antibiotics my body is recovering from a pretty awful infection. I have consented to taking an anti-depressant drug as well as using my SAD lamp to get me through the winter. I’m physically weak and I’m emotionally very fragile but, I’m back in the game of life again. This means I will be trying to post regularly so I do hope you will stop in, read and comment.

I want to thank those readers who continued to read the few entries I made and who posted comments, while I was broken-hearted and in such an unproductive dark headspace. Most of all, I want to thank those emailed me and/or left me uplifting contact messages during my darkest hour. You see when I took down my blog I had already given up on everything and everyone in cyberspace but you helped me to change my mind. Throughout my grief your support proved invaluable and, you will always have a place in my heart.

    It was a shock to see your blog for a while considering what you’d been telling us. You’ll pull through, but don’t rush yourself. Spring also has to wait for Winter to end.

    Uh, I meant: it was a shock to see your blog gone for a while…

    Hi Brightfeather. I’m delighted you are getting treatment! Many of us who like to live in a more natural way eschew things like medications, when they can be so useful, and teach the body a better way of being. I know you have felt fragile, and was always glad to see that you did post to the fora and continued to help people. I like your new look in time for the solstice. Very elegant.

    Thank you all for commenting. One never knows when they post something gut-spilling in their blog what the reactions will be. I even questioned myself as to why I felt the need to spill anything at all. But you’re a compassionate lot so I shared with you.

    The good news continues. I’m much better. :)
