I came over to the blog today, because I saw that $4.95 on the bank statement, and I don't use this much anymore, so I thought I'd just drop it...
I read the last post - in June last summer. Maybe this space has more value than I've noticed. And in any case, I don't want that last post to be the last post, you know?
I WAS sinking into a hole of depression back then. And fatigue. And it got so much worse.
What I didn't understand at the time, was that I was also sinking into a serious bout of anemia that, by late October, had me in a clinic for transfusions. I had NEVER experienced the kind of resurgence that the transfusion caused in my general health, and most surprising to me was how completely connected is my physical and mental health. The depression eased, and it became much simpler to use the tools I've learned to turn the depression away.
There have been tests and consultations and in early January, I will have a small laparoscopic surgery to correct the circumstances that have caused intermittent extreme anemia. It's lovely to have a real solution to the issue!
And I'll keep paying that $4.95 for awhile. I'm thinking that, in general, I'm so much better off to do my own ruminating here...
so, see you again one day
