So, I did something difficult.
Something to take care of my own mental health. I don't really want to talk about it, but I'm not used to putting my own needs first, so much, and I feel like a jerk.

Le Grand Sigh.

Let the self-medicating begin. :toast:

8. Shared interests? Mutual respect? To make gently snarky remarks
about Oklahomans in a climate of understanding? These are among the reasons that I _will_ one day hang out with you, sweets. :hug: :loveya:

Miss you! :*

17. My dear LynzM...
You know, if you don't take care of yourself, who will?

I'm truly happy that you did what you needed to do...

I hope it'll work forever!

19. Good luck to you!
You did what you had to do. And there is nothing wrong with putting your own needs first sometimes, especially if it involves your health. I hope whatever you did works out for you!:hug:

I'm taking care of my mental health too =) Kinda...sorta...not really. MEDICAID is the one taking care of my mental health, along with my psychologist and therapist haha. I just do what they tell me.

25. YOU are the FIRST PERSON to take care of YOU, so do it!
Occurred to me some years ago, and still don't always do what's necessary.
