So, lately this has become my diary more than a blog to be shared. Which is fine. It’s nice that some people still choose to read it…I don’t know who you are, but I appreciate knowing that I’m not totally alone. But…I wanted this blog to be fun…funny…sometimes serious, but in a good way. Instead,Continue reading “..”

I tried to leave my house today. I wound up hyperventilating and in tears. The more I have to write about my past for therapy…the more it dredges up the memories of all the times that people left…the more I remember that no one wants me around for the long haul and even those whoContinue reading “.”

If you know me, you probably know about spoons. If you don’t know me…or don’t know about the Spoon Theory… seriously, it is the BEST THING EVER for explaining what it’s like to live with a chronic illness. So… here you go…and you’re welcome… https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/ But, for those who don’t want to read, basically theContinue reading “Spoons”

Today is a rough day. I haven’t felt well for days, I’m feeling a bit hopeless about the future, I’m feeling like people are better off without me around…I’m JUST close enough to the bottom to feel all the pain, but JUST high enough off the ground to decide that that’s the best time toContinue reading “Turning on the Light”

There have been little things I’ve been holding onto as my life has been changing with this new heart issue. I’ve had to slow down my running. A lot. I’ve had to give up my solitary time in the woods for now. I’ve had to admit to needing to sit after standing too long inContinue reading “Welp, Now it’s Real”

Today’s Preface to the Blog – I’m making myself #gigglesnort at the title I gave it…because, let’s be real…don’t embrace an introvert. We don’t like it. This is my dancing space, this is your dancing space. GET OFF ME!! 😉 ANYWAY…Hi, my name is Sheri and I’m an introvert. People LOVE telling me that I’mContinue reading “Embracing the Introvert”

Once upon a time, in a very close place, a raging hermit left her beloved gym solitude and joined a group of women who wanted to work out…together… *shudder*. (Spoiler alert. I’m the raging hermit.) At that first workout, as is this groups tradition, I was given a new name. I was asked to tellContinue reading “Domino at The River”

There is very little that’s a positive about an anxiety spiral. BUT if there is one bonus, it would be this. Every time I get to the point of anxiety where I can NOT handle ANY more…the stupid shit that I’ve been anxious about suddenly becomes more clear. In a, “Wait…why the fuck am IContinue reading “Don’t Mind Me…Just Staying In My Own Damn Lane…”

I have been giving myself a lot of time to think. And here are some things that I have figured out…either in my own head…or as I tried to write out what I was feeling to my counselor. It’s all about people. Like…I know this…it’s people that scare me. This isn’t new. But, there’s thisContinue reading “People”

A few notes on this blog before I begin. 1. Don’t Google sugared shit. You’re welcome. 2. Remember I told you about 11th grade lit teacher, Mrs. Tatum? Thanks to that class, the word epiphany is my second favorite word. (First place will always go to voluptuous.) Mrs. Tatum walked into class one day andContinue reading “Sugared Shit vs Silver Linings”
