I am back! And wow, what a journey it has been. I have begun my recovery of myself, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I have felt so much better these past few weeks than I have in months. The weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I feel like I can finally breathe and I feel like I can start life.
- I now I have a physical diagnosis of what’s going on with my body. For YEARS I had been dealing with intestinal problems and issues and not a soul could figure it out. But one doctor finally found it- and it’s name is Crohn’s disease. It’s a nasty disease where if your body can’t digest the food you put into it, it’ll make you vomit it back up or go right through you (diarrhea). People with Crohn’s can loose mass amounts of weight and experience great discomfort and pain (and it IS painful). But with the right treatment, special diet, and monitoring your symptoms, you can manage to lead a normal life. It’s just such a relief to know now what my body has been doing and now it’s getting treated!
- I moved into a healthy enviornment with people who care for me. My aunt and uncle have been more than supportive of me through this. They have helped tremendously with my self-esteem by being so encouraging (unlike mom and dad). I feel like a new human being and that I’m worth something.
- I have a goal that I’m looking forward to working on. My ultimate career goal is to be a music thereapist. Yes, such people exist! There’s also art thereapists too, they’ve actually helped with autistic children. I’ve loved music since…forever! And I LOVE helping people, especially children, I’ve always wanted to do both but never knew how I could. And I’ve become very inspired to do that. I really want to work hard at that goal.
I’m so excited about life now! I can’t wait to see what will happen now! I’m just so happy in life right now, and I’m ready for it :]
