Peace of mind,

I must tell you Christina that I think you are a wonderful person.  When I am having a rough day as I am today, your comments are always uplifting.  I wish I  knew you in person- you have been greatly supportive.

Righ now I feel like the last person on this planet.  People keep hurting and betraying me-

A friend - at least I thought she was a friend betrayed my trust for the umpteenth time- this time I am not taking her back, calling her on the phone or contacting her in any way.

I have been a fool continuously going back to her after she has used me and taken advantage of me- and allowing her to continue to do so. This time it is over.  I hope she rots in hell.

Anyways, on a lighter note- I took a walk in the woods agin this morning to clear my thinking- it helped somewhat and with the PRN Ativan I should be alright in a little while. I feel better now just knowing I can take the Ativan- which works for me- when I need to - and that I can find respite by walking inthe woods or doing some exercise.

Over the yeas of struggling with this illness I have learned some good coping mechanisms, and if they don't work I have a therapist I can call and talk to.

Making contact with th is website is also helpful- it gives me a place to share my poetry and artwork, and to know that this gives other people pleasure too. I Have also made some online friends here- whom are somewhat easier to deal with  than in person. I am kind of shy and very much fearful and mistrustful of most other people.  Ther is safety online.

Anyways- I am glad you enjoyed the photograph- I have others I could share that others may enjoy.

Fondly, Claudia

Hi Claudia,

You see to have a handle on things and know what works for you.

Enjoy the walks.
