to diagnose myself.... i do not want to say I am...... I know what my
symptoms are. I have tried medication and i feel as if it just numbs
me. life isn't supposed 2 b lived numb. I also felt like the drugs
were not a good idea. I have been trying to "deal" with it for years.
I just want to "fix" or even help my problem. it could be hormonal
for sure. i was raised by an abusive, drug addict mom and feel like
my environment didn't help.
yesterday i used solace all day and just started to sob by the days
end. i felt so hopeless. not sure if i was releasing or what... not
sure if it was the oil either. just everything finally crashed down.
the weather didn't help either.
