Re: Sick of everyone
i am new here as of y'day, so here goes. I am on the eve of turning 61, that totally scares me, as if the big 60 last year wasn't enough! But, i am here and still alive. I used to think at 60 that is ancient and i would be content to "go" not long after, but have come to believe that some of us are meant to go the whole 100 yards, no matter what age illness's throw at us along our journey, sure i get anxious a lot thinking what's in store for me, but i would like to think i would fight my hardest to stay till the man upstairs tells me it's my time. I have so far survived through my ex husband killing himself on the freeway almost 16 years ago whilst having a paranoid, psychotic attack, then 3 days after his funeral, my then 19yo daughter began her journey into mental illness, many shock treatments, psych ward holidays, and still to this day at almost 36 she is still struggling. If that wasn't enough my youngest daughter was diagnosed 4 years ago as well, so, if that hasn't broken me with this soul shattering stinking thing called mental illness then i would say i was meant to be here to be a strong woman/ Thanks for reading my long winded novel 🙂
