OH Dang.. been TOO long...

 What to enlighten y'all about.  Still going strong, unmedicated for the most part, had to get a low dose anxiety pill this past November.  My anxiety got WAY out of hand, i had to start taking pepcid for the upset of my stomach.  It has helped a lot, it's just 5mg, very low, 2x a day, my doctor is very understanding, about how I feel about taking medications.  Actually, both my PC & GYN is very understanding about my feelings on excessive medications, that's part of what's wrong with the medical system, is a continued reliance on man made medications. That have more side effects than using medicinal options, they get paid for the pills they prescribe in some fashion.

I go medicinal as much as i can, i take vitamin C & potassium, for help with my immune system & muscle health. I was able to get my hysterotomy December 2021, after dealing with loads of issues for the last 23 years, my GYN was gracious to listen to my request to leave my ovaries, so i would have to take synthetic estrogen medication. I will continue to find medicinal options before I will use man made medications for anything other than headaches, i do use motrin &/or tylenol for common ailments as that, as well as cold medicines.  But, when I talk about using man made medications, I'm speaking of antidepressants, pain killers, barbiturates, muscle relaxers, etc, that have a list of side effects.  

I am well aware that some folks need those things to function on a daily basis, & that's okay. But, this is my journey I'm speaking of, for myself, not others, I do not expect folks to use what methods work for me.  What i do for myself is for me, not for others, i have friends & family that have to have prescribed medicines to function on a daily basis.  Anyway.. be blessed ..

So, I have to name my post ...

Well, I named it. So, today wasn't too terrible, not too much overthinking, considering workflow was super slow today, as far an internal communications go. Down time throws me in to overdrive on the ole thinking to much. My overdrive is worse when I know my beloved is struggling with his own feelings & work drama. I try to find ways to help, even if it's simply telling him, I'm here when he's ready to talk, or just giving him extra hugs. He uses natural plant based products for dealing with his anger issues & other issues he may have. And that's okay with me, as long as he's happy, I'm happy. And no, I've not lost myself by being that way with him, I just absolutely admire, respect, adore & love him that much. I am a simplistic person, I don't want too much, just simple living as best I can. The simplest thing can entertain me, i like keeping it that way.

My introduction

Hey, welcome to my twisted since of self. As I mentioned on my about me page, my name is Dustie, I live in a small rural area in Southern Ohio. The purpose of my page is to hopefully help others in their everyday life of dealing with some form of mental "illness". I put the illness in parentheses, because I don't see it as an illness, an illness to me, is like the flu, pneumonia or a HORRIBLE cold. I have a mental issue, an issue I choose not to be medicated over, that is a personal preference. Yes, I've been on meds, celexa, lexapro, zoloft, and I think that's it *insert thinking emoji here* . I don't like feeling like I'm in a walking haze, again, personal preference. I will ramble on & on, that's what I do, and again, like mentioned on my welcome/home page, I am grammatically challenged, so please, don't contact me over my grammar, or lack of, I am aware of it, thank you :) That's why I said it to begin with on the main page. Anyway, t...

A dive into the past

So, let's get some back history to me, and probably 1 of the many reasons I am the way I am at my age. When i was about 7, it was the very early 1980s, my uncle, his wife, & my cousin had come to visit, they had a friend with them. Everyone had been drinking & smoking, and my Dad, being the responsible person he was, didn't want them driving back to their houses, so everyone stayed over night. My brother & sister both we're gone, sleeping over at their friends house, I was the only 1 home, I was picked to stay home to play with my little cousin.   As everyone slept, i remember being in my brother's room sleeping in the bed with my little cousin, my sister had latched our door shut & I couldn't reach the lock. And my uncle's friend came in & woke me, which I was kind of awake, because my little cousin had wet the bed. Anyway, dude proceeded to pick me up, like he was taking me into my room to change my clothes. Instead of changing me, he laid ...
