Write it out, girl.
We’re here💕
I did! Not my typical piece.
You aren’t you on meds. Nobody is. Some have no choice. I get that. But I don’t understand living in the most medicated country on the face of the earth.
I hope you find power in your battle 🌼
No, meds only confused me. Not taking any psych meds right now. I have to have control of my inner demons on my own. This was one of the last I wrote near the beginning of year. Before radiation and surgery. When I was thinking of just ignoring the doctors completely. Which I didn’t. I even broke free of caffeine. Off it completely.
People are amazing. Especially when we amaze ourselves. Caffine, you didn”t just kick the craving, you kicked the habit of having it. We don’t think we’re strong until after the work and pain of seeing something through. Caffiene and meds – you’ve got grit.
Good on you! 🌼
Sometimes all we can do is write about it and let it come out as it will. What you said here was so relatable to what it can feel like when you really want to write it out but are also still dealing with whatever is going on.
Exactly!
Powerfully penned, Paula. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

I agree to try to go without psych meds and using the arts and writing to be therapeutic. Me personally, there’s some I need. Writing will always be my number one therapy too. Keep strong, girl. Your therapeutic writing is paying off, I love it!
