I am choosing to shift my focus from my health to new opportunities. Through my recent ordeal with 9 days in the hospital I realized I don't want to spend so much time thinking and talking about my health. I have decided that in sharing my story repeatedly here and in my life I have been caught living in my past, and this has taken so much of my time & energy. My plan is to concentrate on being & living in the present and then use my energy to search and find things that give me joy and nourish my spirit and my soul.
I am thankful and proud that I have survived some very difficult times with serious health challenges and found the strength and spirit to fight through, however I just came to realize that this blessing of life has with it opportunities for new experiences, journeys and paths to explore, and I can't do that when I’m talking and thinking about being a survivor and even using the term professional patient to describe myself. I am so much more than that.
I am choosing to step aside from this group and try to create a life that isn’t focused on sharing about my health. Therefore I will be taking a break from being on The Mighty and leading this group. I appreciate all your support throughout this time and if you would consider keeping me in your thoughts and prayers I'd be very grateful.
There are now over 2,700 members in this group and I trust that you can all be there for each other and this will continue to be an active peer-to-peer community. Please read each other’s posts, respond with replies & comments, offer support and empathy, and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it too.
Sending blessings for good health, peace, serenity and abundance to you all, and big virtual hugs,
Moshe
🙏🩷🫶💟🤗😋

I freaking HATE them, especially if you’re in a non-monogamous non-romantic relationship (but NOT FRIENDS). They are meant to be love-exclusive, heteronormative, and monogamy-exclusive as much as they possibly can and it makes me sick and drives me crazy to the point where I almost broke my computer screen this morning because of seeing another stupid advertisement (no worries, it’s fine)! I hate the alternative title “Single awareness day” because it further proves the belief that Valentines is “oh so romantic” and plus while many single individuals don’t really care, some are making themselves and others feel bad because of the standard belief of “being in a relationship” when they are valid with OR without a partner(s).
Valentine’s Day does NOT have to be a romantic holiday. Plus, not every experiences love, whether that be romantic, platonic, familial, or whatever. Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be for everyone because it isn’t even FOR everyone, so society needs to STOP PUSHING IT DOWN OUR THROATS AND LEAVE US THE FRICK ALONE!

I talked to myself many times, and yes, I answered to myself. I wonder how many of you have conversations with yourself. No doubt I feel lonely and isolated many times, and I wonder if will find MY PERSON one day.
It has to do a lot with feeling that constant question of " WOULD HE ACCEPT ME WITH EVERYTHING THAT I AM? WOULD HE BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MY PAIN? WITH MY ANXIETY? WITH MY RAMBLING?
I LAUGH A LOT! And I like that about myself because I have fun with myself, I AM PROUD OF MYSELF, because I have managed to find wonderful coping skills to survive, and so, YES, I tell myself, I LOVE YOU!
NO DOUBT, I'm imperfect, full of asterisks, commas, exclamation points, and yes, question marks, but....with my rambling I SEE MY SHINING, MY CONNECTION TO ALL THAT IT IS, MY HELPING MANY PEOPLE AROUND ME.
I don't have to ask if I have made a difference in this world, I KNOW IT. Is this pretentious? Is this crazy? Is this WEIRD?
AM I WEIRD?
I know you are there, I have my open arms willing to hug you, and my eyes sparkle connecting with my SPECIAL YOU, and with all of you. Simply, I AM ALIVE!
AM I WEIRD?
Maybe I am a WEIRD SURVIVOR, #survivingstill
AM I WEIRD? FEEL ME! because I am willing, to be the supporting EQUAL SIGN, that knows it will never be EQUAL because we'll be changing every day, but SO willing to LEARN each day.
AM I WEIRD?
Because somehow, I AM HERE, even in my dreams. My subconscious lives with the second-by-second fight or fly, while my consciousness knows: THE RIVER OF LIFE is rocks, fish, water, atoms, energy, and dirt.....WE, THEY, US, YOU, and Me.
BESOS from ...AM I WEIRD?

Let me know your thoughts on this poem! I’d love to chat. #MentalHealth #ADHD #Love
One of my closest friends just checked in because she knew there were still more tripwires with UW Medicine today--phone calls and MyChart messages that seemed specifically designed to go in circles--and because she has lived her own version of this story, she knows firsthand it's grueling.
So, she said to text her my grocery list tomorrow and that she'll pick up everything when she's running errands.
This is basically Nobel-level friendship--seriously, why no prizes for stuff like this?--and I love her so freaking much.
My physicians seems to have no clue whatsoever that living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, thyroid cancer, ongoing radiation complications, severe Orthostatic Intolerance, and the aftermath of a small heart attack can be dicey most days. They're obtuse in a way that'd be awe-inspiring if it weren't so dangerous.
But I still have many loved ones who do, in fact, get it--my mom checked in today, too--and I'm deeply, unendingly grateful.

Share your thoughts on this poem:
MARRIED TO GOD
What if you were married
To God himself
And wanted to be the best woman that he hadd ever met
How would you behave?
How would you speak?
Would you then complain of any old traumatic memories?
What if you believed that he fell in love with you in the midst of billions of women he could choose
Would you enjoy everything you'd see?
And would you believe that knowing he's in love with you
Then only in a perfect world he would let you be?
And having awareness of this
Would you judge anyone?
And would you change a thing?
Or would you accept everything as is
For the mere reason that God has created it #Love

My aunt Kristi has stage four breast cancer. Right now she has covid-19 and she can't get her last round of chemotherapy until she is over Covid-19. If this last round of chemo doesn't work, then the doctors can't help her anymore. She's dying and just when she feels a bit better it goes downhill. Without her I'd be lost...I know I'm avoiding the unthinkable but I just can't imagine not having that ray of sunshine in my world.
