The best advice I ever heard:

“Be who you are and say what you feel because people who mind don’t matter and people who matter don’t mind.”

  • Good Morning you gorgeous souls! Ya girl is 17 days sober, lost 4lbs so far, and just booked their flight ticket to the UK for three weeks in December.

Today is a good day.

  • It's July and I really need to reassess my life. 

I've fucked myself big time with my surgery up and coming. I need at least 2 weeks in bed and I've only been able to afford a few days in a hotel thanks to the kind and generous souls that donated to my GoFundMe.

I should have just "sucked it up" at my last job and not let my anxieties, depression and worthlessness win. 

It does suggest why I've lost so many friends, jumped from job to job and found myself going from earning nearly $90k a year to barely finding my next meal without the charity of others.

For this month, I will not be drinking alcohol, not going out or socialising, I will not be eating out, I will not be travelling far from work to save fuel. I've downgraded my phone plan, cancelled my subscriptions and I may reschedule my therapist to next month.

I need to spend as little as possible as when I do return to work, I won't be working full time.

It's thrown a stigma attached to my surgery and I don't feel excited for it right now because I've made bad life choices, causing me to be in this mess, despite me working so hard on my mental health, shadow work and anxieties this year.

I'm just really struggling to be happy right now.

  • I go for surgery in 2 weeks and I desperately need your help.

Please share this with anyone who has a spare couple of dollars. I'm broke and I'm shamed to be begging for money buy my surgery is in 2 weeks and I don't know what I'm going to do.

Thank you.
