Needing some support but not able to put it into words.

In a funk, I guess. Maybe a grieving period.

Think the nicer weather has something to do with it.... Maybe feeling a little trapped Sad

Trying to focus on good things but maybe important to acknowledge that I'm down and need some support.

Haven't been posting as much. Sometimes I isolate myself even online. Sort of ... I don't know.

Thanks Blush

Hugs all around!! Hope today was better than yesterday. Maybe when the weather is better, we should be bringing a chair outside and getting fresh air and enjoying some nature in a non-tick way?!

<3 to all,

Lauren

Was diagnosed with Autonomic Disorder, POTS, Interstitial Cystitis, and Fibromyalgia. True story is I have late stage Lyme which has caused these things. Just began the fight in October 2011 (have been full-blown Lyme since Sept. 5, 2010), and WILL be victorious! Positive bands: IgG 41 and 60; IgM 23 and 41. CDC positive!

Not a doctor, not anyone of any legal standing... just someone on the search.

Purple, I understand where you are emotionally. There myself. So blessings to both of us.
P23 and P41 bands positive, IBS like symptoms caused by possible candida, herbal and antiobiotic treatment, gluten free, candida diet.

I do not have a medical license so my suggestions are limited to personal experience and research. Also I am not a lawyer so if I offer advice relating to school issues it is only from my experiences as a special education teacher, my own disabilities real or Lyme induced, and research.
