My Story:

My story is not extraordinary, and I'm still learning what my story is! I have always been depressed, have attempted suicide a couple of times, but that was many years ago. For a whole year now I have been getting flashbacks (body flashbacks, memory blips, terrible phrases or threats) of a childhood of sexual abuse by my progenitor (father). It's hard to comprehend. It's overwhelming. It's crazy to me, yet so much makes more sense now. The abuse spanned years, and I don't think there was any part of my body he didn't use.

I'm unfamiliar with what "IOP" is, but I hope it is helping. Something outpatient? I'm glad you have Savannah. I saw a picture of her in another community, and she is a beauty!!

I know what you mean about being tired of the whole people scene! I can only take so much of people in general, and then I just have to have my alone time. I was with people all morning, in a good way, but still with people, so now I'm ready to relax alone for a bit. My dog is busy chomping on some ice cubes. It's too funny. He used to never touch the things, but then I froze some flavored with bullion cubes, and now he will eat plain ones. Cheap treats, and I have a friend who swore they helped her dogs teeth/gums.

I just have to say a little something about Delta, not to say people can have bad experiences, but let me share this. I have some very good friends who are about my age, just a couple years older, and the husband worked for Delta. They took a family vacation a couple of years ago out west. Tragedy struck, and in the process of saving their 10-year-old son who was swept down a river, the husband disappeared. It was about a week before they recovered the body. The boy was saved, but my good friend didn't make it, and he used to be a lifeguard "back in the day."

Well, the whole time there were search parties and all, Delta paid for food and accommodations and treated the family like royalty. Of course, the body was flown back to GA, and there was a good representation from Delta at the memorial. He worked for Delta for many years in an office position, but he wasn't an executive or anything like that. I could never remember exactly what, but I was very touched by that. The memorial service for my friend, who was in his upper 40s, was held in a gymnasium and it was PACKED. He was just a very good guy, and obviously well liked.

I guess there is good and bad in most companies. My mom was in the hospital recently, and my sister was reluctant to take her back to that one because of the way she was treated before, but THIS time, in a different wing, she was treated much, much better, and my sister was very relieved to say the least.

It is overcast here today, and there has been a little bit of rain so far. I think more is coming. I love days like this because they generally match my mood.

I hope you get some rest this weekend. Good to hear from you!
