My second fifth LJ-versary is coming up, so I thought it was about time I re-posted my friending 'policy'.
I'm sort of a fannish collector. I built up my friends list by friending the authors of fic I like, and by reading the other comments to their fics and tracking back the people who sounded interesting. Some of them have drifted away from my ( Read more... ) -

I know the things I need to do to feel better. I just can't get past: why fucking bother?
I know it's going to make a difference to whether or not I'm in pain from my shoulder, and that's going to help with depression. But I still can't make myself follow through with physiotherapy.

The state of me
Wow, this year has been rough. Not for any reason in particular, but the same old stuff just seems to keep swirling. It feels like I spend all my energy on just being okay, and there's nothing much left for actual progress :-|
I pulled a muscle in my ribs in January, and holy crap it hurt. It's almost healed now... I think?

For me, one of the hardest things about being a survivor of childhood violence, and late-teens date rape and domestic abuse, is that it will never truly leave me. It's been fourteen years since I started the journey towards healing, and I've made so much progress... but it's still there.

And day one of my holiday is off to a great start
It only took my mother 14 hours to drive me to incandescent rage. It's not quite a record - I'm pretty sure she's managed it in just two hours before - but still. ( Discussion of domestic abuse behind the cut ) -
Things higher-class people don't realise about being blue collar
I'm sitting here nursing my damaged shoulder and managing the pain with a glass of wine, because it's better than constantly taking diclofenac (and ending up with a ruined stomach lining) and codeine (and risking addiction). The damage snuck up on me, my shoulder gradually getting stiffer and stiffer. I stopped playing the violin. I stopped ( Read more... ) -
A positive post for once
A thing I realised today: so many people I know struggle to find time in their lives, both for what they want to and what they need to do. Moving to Australia, and moving house after four years, has made my husband and I so much more financially stable. And that's come with a whole lot of benefits, the biggest one being that I can afford decent ( Read more... )
