Please forgive me; but ... I NEED TO VENT!!!!!
The Devil is doing his mighty best to get me down further than I've ever been. And I've was just a shell of a person when I got away from my very abusive ex. But this is different.
My depression is lasting longer and I feel more severe. When I get too upset or or feel like I've done wrong; I apologize but my mind goes into my "other personality" (not diagnosed but in my head I become who my ex turned me into; THAT me had to deal with every type of abuse, and I believe it's my brain trying to protect me. However; that me; wants to die! And the last few months I was with him I would wake up praying, "God, please let this day be the day help don't get here in time and he kills me, I can't handle anymore. Every night I'd pray for God to take me in my sleep.
Anyway, I have been waiting to get into the place I got help several years ago for 6 weeks now. Originally I was told the wait list was around 2 weeks. Then a month! I am beyond frustrated. I gotta call in every Wednesday and I will tomorrow. Last week I asked how many more ahead of me. The lady who answered didn't know. Tomorrow I'm not sure I can hold my tongue. I SO SO want to tell them to go *U*K themselves, but as a Christian lady, I know I won't. But, I'm gonna ask to speak with someone in charge.
Okay, also I have really been looking forward to going to see my son and his high-school sweetheart at 11 years on Sunday. Making it "our Thanksgiving ". Although we had planned to go for Chinese Buffet. 😋
My son finally got his identity straightened out and got a job and will be working Sunday. Plus I signed up for a Thanksgiving meal for 2 box and pick that up Saturday. Now, I'm not even sure I have a ride now. This morning I borrowed my friends car to go to the next town over hoping to see Momma (a different very long story) but couldn't. So I went to my Storage (also used by my son) to pick up a few things and came back. I had made me a smoothie of strawberries, blueberries, honey and Flavored antioxidant filled coconut water. Well, thinking I wanted to save the rest for in the morning I unscrewed the bottom of my mini blender! I'M AN IDIOT 🤣! I knew better!! Unscrewing the bottom and ... there is no other bottom. So dark berry juice and yumminess went splashing down my sweater front, jeans, white Nikes and over almost everything a good foot distance around me! After thinking ... I'm an idiot, I tell myself, Guess I'm not saving it for the morning! After that's cleaned up is when I find out I might not have a ride to go visit my son. THEN... my friend brings me the laptop that (had been delivered earlier) momma got me so I can finish writing my book. I was a good girl and finished doing what I was doing (dusting) then sat down to open it. First thing I see is that the screen has many scuff marks (scratches), and I'm thinking; they have got to be kidding. Cause it looks like a used one. But I take it out and find the instruction sheet. They sent a kids tablet! Looks the same, definitely not the 128 GB ordered.
BUT; before I got out of that toxic horrible relationship I thought God wasn't answering my prayers. Later on I realized he had been answering them, just not how I hoped. Instead of my life ending by my Ex or God calling me home, he answered by: Making me strong enough to endure. I had told him ...
"I'm can't take no more, I need help, I have no life left in me" . He gave me the strength and I made a TRUE friend that had once been a stranger.
Thank you for reading this long winded rant. I could go on but I've complained enough.
Stay strong
