About This Blog

My blog shares my recovery journey from childhood abuse to living with mental illness. I've been involved in twelve step groups and therapy since 1982. I accepted Jesus as my Savior in 1988. To the best of my ability, I have followed where He wants me to go and what He wants me to do. Maybe you'll find the hope and strength you need through what I write. Maybe you want to stop hurting yourself. Maybe you have a friend who needs help and can benefit from my story. I was newly disabled when I asked God this question: "What do you want me to do with my life?" I closed my eyes and paused for a few moments to still my mind. This is what I sensed from Him: "Amy, I want you to write your story to bring hope and healing to those who are still suffering." And that's exactly what I am doing!

New Medication

Ugh.  I hate adjusting to new medications.  They can cause side effects that are long and painful. This one is causing a migraine 1-2 times a day.  I already suffer from migraines.  I guess it's good that I know how to treat them.

It's a medication that works well with my antidepressant.  It's also good for inducing rem sleep.  I sleep about 11-12 hours.  I'm also sleepy most of the day.  I hope this goes away in a couple of weeks.  I'm depressed and tired.

I doubt this writing will be beneficial to anyone but me.  Then again, that's probably how it's supposed to be.
Gonna rest today - again.  Want to cry but don't have the energy.

Found something cute to share:
