Saying “I Love You”

Well it’s only been a little over three months and we are still going strong. My fears of something bad happening after two months that might jeopardize the relationship didn’t happen. I did tell him about it though. We are pretty good about saying what is on our mind.

being sick all the time

Going backwards

I feel like I have to re-examine myself as to what happened in the past, while I was trying to figure out how to deal with my mental illness, why things are the way they are now. I keep wondering if I should go back and read through my journals that I told myself I would never open again. Afraid that it might be a … Continue reading Going backwards
