Sarah called frequently. She was reaching out to me, but I wasn’t answering. Most of the time I knew she was calling, but I was not ready to talk to people, not even to friends. I just wanted to be alone with my t.v. and my board games that I played versus myself. I realize it’s almost comical, me sitting in my living room playing 4 different hands of Skipbo against each other, but I don’t know what to tell ya. That was how I coped, that and many calls to 911, but you can go back and read that story if you missed it. […]

Our imaginations are such powerful things and can play awful games with us, especially when we are tired. I’d probably have been exactly the same with the paranoia. I may not have played games with myself, but would have had full blown conversations with myself, something that I often feel like I do now!
Taking those first steps to make little changes must have been hard…. And you look so young in your photo!

Thank you so much, Jayne! It was c-r-a-z-y. Last night I was alone, and I didn’t even want to go there, so I popped a Benadryl and passed right out…

You did have a tough time. For the record, I am just the same when I’m alone and hear noises. They always seem more amplified when you are on your own don’t they?!
Fab post! Looking forward to the next episode 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing with #MMBC. Have a fab weekend x
