Returning

I am sorry that I have been so distant for years. I can only explain, I was dying inside, barely functioning.

It has been years since I have said much. Around my apartment, in boxes and drawers, I have written my heart and soul out, on notebook paper. but I planned to transcribe them to my blog, but never did. Part of me was falling apart. Part of me, is very overwhelmed with modern technology. It makes me extremely anxious. To me, computers, smartphones, etc. are rather abstract.

My Apple laptop, died. So it only needed a new screen, but when it came back, I had issues with it. It seemed screwed up. So I exchanged computers with my husband. I have never trusted it. It’s a Legion, and works perfectly well, but, I have anxiety over it.

Over the last 5 or 6 years, I have suffered, way too much. Over time I will tell you all that had happened and how it has affected me. I have also been physically ill, a lot, like close to death, over and over. I believe that my CPTSD, and mental health issues have put an immeasurable toll on my physical health.

Just wanted to say hello and welcome back!

I’m Christine

My name is Christine and I am almost 45 years old. This is my very first blog. I am writing because I feel like I am living in a closet. But I am not gay, I am mentally ill, I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not many people know this about me. I have been fearful of “coming out”, because, frankly, the human population has not always been kind to people with mental illness. But isn’t it time that we come to accept all of our bothers & sisters, regardless of their differences?
