I rent an old farm house way out in the country. My city friends might think I'm brave. My country friends might think I'm smart. I think it was what I needed.
I worked in the city for several years not sure what my symptoms were from. Some things I tried helped. Most did not. It would seem I was shooting at a moving target. The symptoms increased to a great severity and then my body 'crashed'. It was May, 2007. Enter... The Twilight Zone.
I am very thankful the 'episodes' of great distress ended. As did the struggle to function. But what is left doesn't look like I expected. It is like I went to a backup power source... a watch battery.
It is VERY dark in the country. I am able to go to bed when its getting dark and sleep until the sun comes up. No noisy neighbors either. There were times with the echoing between the buildings that it sounded like he was starting his Gold Wing in my bedroom... seriously. Yep, loving the quiet and the dark. I should mention that if I should be getting home after dark, I don't doddle outside. It is DARK!
I have met new friends who have NO expectations of our friendship. Yet they are friendly, kind and accepting of my limitations. And respectful. And then others don't have a clue... but those we will always have. If I learn anything, please let me never be one of those...
Well, I'm getting sleepy. I think I took my thyroid med too late in the day. I won't do that again. Lol until the next time I forget what happens. Take care and be kind to yourselves.
