#bad week with a nice surprise

Hi I’m new. I don’t typically do groups because I’m usually the one running them as I am a therapist. However due to my medical issues a lot has taken a backseat.

I’m not sure really what I should share but it was a bad week, I cought a cold from a little kid and that set me into a week long flareup, today I’m walking.

But the best part is that I’ve put my clinical licensure on hold for about 10yrs because I’m a military spouse and I had one course to finish because of course the state had to tack something else on. Well I wasn’t able to finish the work on 2/1. I emailed the professor and explained but I did finish the work on 2/3. On 2/5 I opened my email and there was my certificate, the last step so I can sit for my LCSW exam!!! If you don’t know it’s a license to practice as an independent clinician/therapist.
I’m trying to stay positive but my body hates me!!!

I Felt So #good and now I feel so #bad

I do not even know where to go with this. But the other day I felt really good, I had this sort of hi I guess. I felt so good that I was able to make dinner, and I was able to do other things around the house.

I had a great day, I went to the dollar store, I wound up working that day. However... Now I don't really feel that way at all. I woke up this morning after having some bad dreams, and now I don't feel good at all. I had a serious emotional episode over the night, and I had some wicked dreams.

I don't even know how to explain what it is that I'm going through. Nothing really seems to make much sense this morning. I assume that it is because I had the dreams that I did, and I'm also thinking about the fact that I have other jobs that I need to apply to. See, I'm not even making any sense. I just don't feel good. I feel like I'm all over the place. I had some hypersexuality, and then I was really really high and then I felt great, and now I feel the opposite. It's weird.

I thought that was medication that these things would end. However, I forgot just how wrong I was. In cases like this I'm actually forgetful once I get to a certain degree. I start to feel really really great and I don't even really notice it, but my husband did. "I was afraid that something like this would happen," is what he told me.

How am I supposed to live life like this? I've asked this for many many years. It's always been so difficult. Especially since now that I'm medically regulated. I don't have the episodes to the extremes that I used to. So when I have the episodes, they are very mild. I can remember when they weren't this mild. I did a lot of stupid things, and I feel like I still do.

I know they're stupid because, stupid is knowing that something is wrong, but yet I do it anyway. And I don't understand why. I just wish that all of this would stop, so that with the medication I take, these things would never happen again.

But I learned a while back that there is something called breakthrough episodes. I think that as I get older, and as I approach my February birthday, my body is changing. Yes I'm on an increase in my medication, but I just still feel the struggle. What can I do?

Healer Pains

Healer Pains

Full of Anger and rage
Feeling like I’m a animal locked in a cage
My nature is so misunderstood
Perhaps it’s time to move on from the hood
But I Love my independent city
Even though the committee ain’t take no pity

Isolated and assets frozen
Although they don’t yet know I’m part of God’s chosen
Treated like a hardcore criminal
My poem are definitely subliminal
If you know me, you’ll get it
Ain’t the usual one to quit

I walked away for self protection
So, wouldn’t be forced into flexion
Straight forward as it can be
Though I did flee, At least I’m free
Self love is a priority
Even if I ain’t in the majority

That don’t stop us from doing as we please
Perhaps, why I’m a narcissist that is to be put in a freeze
From trauma and vulnerabilities we came up,
Banged up, beat up - yet we still worked hard and built up
So, why the hate?
And all the jealousy mate?
Took you for free spins and fed you during your worst

You were injured and I was the one to bring you back to health and nursed
And now I’m cursed?
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
One day, you gotta regret it my boo
True love, acceptance and understanding- heck, gave even my soul
Now, all this hurt masking as anger and making feel like a burning coal

Quite the toll, though I thought your love was free
Then, why the hefty fee?
Anger and rage on the front
Amidst a manhunt
Hurt and grief under the front
Perhaps, nows the time to get blunt

Yes, I am fucked up
And the only one who saved me is my pup
You were right, I was stupid
The only mistake I made was chasing Cupid
Don’t know my story yet think they know all
Destroying me so I forget to walk and can barely even crawl

Malicious prosecution and defamation
Think it’s a game of persuasion
It’s nothing more than a crime
To prevent me from the social and corporate climb
You think I forgot, that’s cute
I never forget a learned friend dispute

You know I’m better than you
And that’s a strong fact that’s more than just true
Don’t let simple nature and humble attitude fool you into arrogance
You caused me to lose my soul and become spiritless
The student is now the master
Now that deserves a round of applause and laughter

Karma is a mogul’s game
And though I don’t care for the fame, it ain’t gonna stop me from bringing the claim
Justice is overdue, stayed quiet for too long
Have come closer to being proven wrong
My only regret, had I spoken earlier
I would be worthier

Money is important but my people are my assets
They are the ones to get my out of bad debts
Got my back because we init for ride or die
They ain’t no supply, they real niggas on which we can rely
Now that’s a fact you cannot deny
My team here for the full and permanent long haul

And although right now, I’m back at the stage of crawl
I got the mindset and approach to stay resilient
Cuz I found out way too late that I’m more than just brilliant
Genius and gifted talent, that’s God’s chosen
So, let me give you a glimpse of my life in slow-motion
Watch out cuz this girl’s a tornado, not to be tamed

She won’t remain for much longer chained
It’s time to break free
And I think that’s something y’all agree #heartbreak #Love #Pain #growth #soulpain #selfhelp #SelfHealing #writings #Journaling #feelings #Emotions #validation #hurt #Grief #Loss #Rejection #abandonment #social isolation #punishment #Karma #sins #good #bad

Shopping Addiction. When #Shopping is beyond #retailtherapy and Breaks the Bank 👀

This cat in the image gives me the face I make when my husband sees me reaching for something to put in the cart and tells me to put it back. I feel like I am so wrong or about to do something that will #hurt me. When things are #Wrong or #IAmStruggling it doesn't feel like I have #power . I feel #powerless .

#shoppingaddiction is real. My mother has it worse than me right now, whereas I have people telling me "No!" And "Put it Back!" Holding me accountable. It still feels hurtful.

I no longer go to stores just to "Look." I cannot go to a store just to "Look around." Especially an issue if I see something and cannot buy it. We are all experiencing some kind of #financial issues. #Medicine is so dang expensive, and that often causes us to fall into a pit. I do not know what to do, but I have been trying things other than talk #Therapy .

I decided to click online "Add to Cart" or "Add to Wishlist." This is common for websites like Amazon or Bath & Body Works. Especially now that the Christmas season is here.. I see things I want to #Buy for other people, or things I want for the #home or for #Myself . It feels #bad .

Have you experienced #shoppingaddiction ?

If so, what do you do?
🛒🛍️💳💰💵💸

I need #Advice .

Feeling of hurting myself

I don’t know if anyone has experienced this. When I’m driving sometimes I feel like vearing off the road and hitting a tree and getting into an accident. #Anxiety #Depresion #Thinking #bad thoughts

Pain - pain - pain!

Today I’m really surrering. My legs are both swollen. They burn (I think it’s an infection). But both hips and knees are giving me problems. I think I’m gonna ask my Doctor to X-Ray all of them to see which is worse and I’ll get surgery on it. I have an artificial right hip and left knee.I’ve had my right hip replaced; for a second time a few years ago but I don’t think it’s doing good and it can’t be replaced or even corrected a third time. My left knee is long past dule for a second replacement. My right knee feels like it’s bone on bone as does my left hip. So I see my Dr next week and I’ll get him to do those and I’ll bring them all to my surgeon and see what he thinks. I just want the pain gone! NOW!!!!
Sorry about complaining, I try not to but this is ridiculous.

#bad days should be musical

When I have a very bad day, I sing. I’ll try to make a parody song about anger and frustration and tears. A lot of times it helps.
