2 week vacation with a friend? They plan. You just go along for the ride!

My trip to England years ago was like that. The trips I plan on my own were anxiety producing. The only up side was that moving around didn't leave much time for depression.

In your opinion, what is the blockage to receiving timely psych appointments? I remember one that didn't help. I did have a good therapist and counselor though.

It's sometimes easier to get meds in other countries where pharmacists have more leeway. Psych vacation for mental health?

Float in epsom salts in a deep claw tub?

Michigan has beaches galore and lots of water. I tell Floridians and Arizonans that the future is Michigan, a blessed fertile land that doesn't turn to dust, need a/c 6 months of the year, and isn't slowly sinking into the sea.

And you have cherries!

I grew up in the Grey Lakes (not a misspelling). I considered May to be spring. March was mud, April too chill.

I've threatened to move to Eastern Montana for the sunshine; but, moving...

A vacation may be a good idea. When can you get away for a week or two? And where would you go in your dreams? (reality usually means a compromise)

In response to "A new dream"

It's possible to dream at any age and, just as important, it's possible to put those dreams into action.

I need this reminder as I'm older than you and fading... but even faded flowers have a purpose.

In response to "When the past returns"

For others this is the first day of spring; but, for me, it's the first day of a new year. I face similar questions. Will I pick up the shards of a broken life or will I allow archeologists to ponder them centuries from now.

In any case going back isn't an option. The places may still exist and even some people may still be there; but, I've changed.

Good to have you back.

I love being around artists because they inspire me. I often write something at a poetry reading... can't help it. LOL

Did you catch a cold lately? Mother nature is being very hot over here!

Time to interview your characters. Tell them one will be chosen to be the star! That'll get them working on their resumes...

Fools

Hello my sunny pals,

Welcome to a new month. I am excited that today is finally here. I needed to put March behind me and move the f on!

It's time to get back to some kind of normal behavior and expectations. Not the anxiety driven insanity that I have been experiencing. It is so exhausting having anxiety. I dealt with it years ago and now it's back, stronger than ever.

It is the kind that I can feel in my bones, starts with a rapid heart beat, a sick stomach and an even worse pounding in my soul. I want to run because I feel my body will catch on fire. I am so burned out on this panic.

It makes sense why I have it. I just wish I could make it go away without having to take medications. I feel like the only way my body is going to calm down is with some kind of pill. That makes me sad but it;s real. I have to find a way to cure this and every other thing that I am doing is not working.

However, have you tried to get a psych appointment? I am in shock at how hard that actually is. Referrals and long wait times. No wonder Mental Health is not getting better and I have job security.

I get it, I feel it.

Love,
Shelly
