You sound like you enjoy taking these tests. It does ease my mind to know what could possible be like.
Thank you for your help

2. What's the best thing about the state (or province) in which you live? The beaches
3. Aside from self harm, what thing or activity gives you comfort? If you don't have something, maybe it's time to find something. I enjoy walking on the beach. I need to find something that is year round.
4. What kind of music helps you? I like all kinds of music but find myself not listening to it as much.
5. Are there tv shows or videos which help you escape for a little while? When was the last time you watched them? The Amazing Race, Person of Interest, havent had power for a while so its been over a week.
Thank you Caprice for caring about us. Hope you enjoyed your time off, you were missed.

Very happy to be home. We have power and heat, thank god. Im extremely exhausted. Water came within three houses from us. A lot of damaged in the neighbor, people still without power. We were in my car a lot because it was warmer then the apartment. I considering sleeping in the car Friday night. I had to make a decision on Friday, stay in my apartment and freeze or try to make to my sister's with the little gas I had. She kept saying to come. Well, we made to my sisters, who also had no power but had a gas fire place and got a generator. We stayed until today, I wasnt sure if I could make it home with the little gas I had, got close to my apartment and got on line for gas. Was there for 6 hours, they didnt get a delivery, so we left, just made it home on fumes. Will get up early tomorrow, get on line for gas and hope for the best. My daughter has been out of school for a week and will be out tomorrow. I have not been in work for work either and will be out tomorrow also. I need gas to get to work. If I get gas early enough I will go in but I also have to go food shopping because we had to clean out the frig before we left. I have nothing. It has been overwhelming for me, there are so many of my daughters friend with no homes now.
My ex got mad at me for not helping him but there was really nothing I could do. The night of the storm he text me and said another foot the water will be in the house, is there anything you want. The next day he text and said Thanks for the help. I have no idea what he expected me to do. I got really upset over that.
I got upset with one of my sisters who lives 10mins from me, who got power on Friday, she text me to say she got power and offer candles. I was so upset, I dont need candles, I need heat, she never offered to lets us stay with her. Instead I drove 45mins to my other sisters house, used all my gas so we wont freeze. Let me tell you I was sooo cold Thursday night, I was shaking.
My anxiety and stress had been through the roof, I was an emotionally mess before the storm, now Im just totally drained of any emotion. Before I left for my sisters I ask a friend(who had power) if my daughter and I could stay with them. She basically said no. I tried another friend but didnt ask because she was in worse shape then we were.
I still very exhausted so I hope this makes sense, I dont have enough energy to try and re read this. Right now all I need is a hug and shoulder to cry on.
I know I whining right now but I am grateful I have a warm apartment now, no physical harm came to me or my daughter. We were very fortunate with this storm. My heart goes out to those who lost everything.
Thank you Fran and all of you listening to me.

I am so sorry to hear of your Mom and the struggles you are going through right now.
When I lost my Mom it was so hard on me and my kids. Give yourself time to heal.
Please be safe.
