Hello, my dears. It’s been a year and a half since my last post. Turns out my old laptop was a P.O.S, and it no longer supported pretty much anything. But I now have a new one, so let me catch you all up. Since January '23 I have been doing pretty well. I work with children through the YMCA and so satisfied with my position. I honestly hope I keep growing with the Y, but I’ve also been considering going back to school to either be a teacher or a counselor (for children, of course).
My children are doing well but working on my oldest child’s mental health. They came out as trans last year and it has been a journey that we are continuously working on. They need all the support they can get since they turned 13 this year and have been big on isolating themselves. Momming has been hard with the preteen years and now we are in the teen years with all the magical attitude…lol.
I have been off my meds for several months now and honestly, I feel the best I’ve ever felt. I still check in with my psychiatrist just to be sure I am fine and finding a new therapist is the worst. My therapist up and quit without warning or words. It truly sucks because it broke my trust again and I’ve been working on it all year.
I have been stressed lately because I have been to the doctors a lot for dizziness, hearing loss, and tinnitus. I get an MRI in a week, and I’m just about as freaked out as possible. I am hoping the MRI comes back clear and that maybe the worst-case scenario is that I need a hearing aid. Right now, I am in physical therapy and dealing with the kindest ENT. Audiology stated my hearing should come back, but it hasn’t really.
But enough about me? How are you all?
