I've been kicked to the curb, but I'm getting back up now.

I haven't done a share post in a while, so I thought I'd share. I've been through a rough patch this last year. I had carpul tunnel release surgeries on both hands which required me to stop my Enbrel for a while. That caused multiple really lovely RA flares.

Explaining self-harm (some Christian content - but mainly general)

I had two years of self-harm from the age of 58-60, but have been free of it for two years. I wrote this to help a friend explain things to her mother, and to share with my church leaders.
