Riding the Rollercoaster

-

First off...I hate roller coasters.

I been there, done that. Got the badges of those I faced.
No more.

I only went due to peer pressure. I am the keeper of the stuff now. Find me on a bench.

So this life can super suck. It is full of ups and downs.

Some experiences are so joyous one would think they'd burst with happiness. Others shattering.

I have had about a month of the fast, out of control, lifecoaster.

Bad new -  Call from SC Housing that says my priority wait  (already been 2 yrs) likely be as much more to hold on for a move. Stuck in toxic environment.

Good news - My Anal Cancer is in remission and I have 6 months free ftom Oncology.

Bad news - Aunt Joan dies unexpectedly.

Bad news - Saw the ex-husband ( hadn't seen the Gambling man 12 yrs) and had a meltdown. My life being poor and hard.

Good news - I don't know who pulled what strings but I have housing. Move 2 weeks. Short notice but wow.

Bad news - severe cold 10 days and still going...

Bad news - flooded basement. Clean up. Injured low back and hip. Frick!!!

Good news - friend helps pack

Good news - 4 days til move!!!!!!

I feel as integrated as possible at this time and am now focusing on my physical health and coping. I was diagnosed with Anal Cancer in 2014. It is slow progression and difficult to treat. Many surgeries to try to keep my sphyncter intact. Avoiding radiation and chemo as long as possible. I know it is there. I know it is growing. Time. Who knows what is to come. Another invisible illness that cannot be seen. "You look great" "You are so strong" "You are going to be ok." I know you cannot see my innards twist or my mind spin. I share my story so others know I too understand how it

#ThisIsWhatAnxietyFeelsLike

-
Heart in your throat. Tears leak. The drop is quick. Racing heart. Gonna be ill. Sweat clad. Terror me. Alone me. For me...add shakes...inside tremors..disassociating with or without flashbacks. These can mimic some seizure like behavior and self harm (ie; scratch self, body bowing backward, breath holding, squeeling....) Fear is powerful. Fear unknown set off worse. Panic is evil. I am learning self care tools. More! In anxiety that grows I often forget how to use them.
