just deal with it!

Sorry I have been missing again. Let’s pretend I was on vacation in Hawaii…I could tell you what’s going on but I haven’t much energy today. I made this 4×6 mixed media postcard the other day when I realized all I ever do anymore is cry and moan and wish I was dead. I was in a car accident in September which was around the same time I found out I need to have knee surgery on both knees for torn meniscus’s. I was going to hold off until after my bariatric surgery but truth is I can hardly walk anymore and going up and downstairs is agony. The car accident caused another whiplash and I am still trying to heal from that while working part-time. I can not sit for long without my neck going numb. I can not look down or tilt my head forward without real discomfort. I have some very strong tape holding my neck straight that the PT placed on there today. It is supposed to keep me from doing the head tilt thing. It feels like the skin is too tight on my neck to move in any direction at all! No one wants to hear any of this…so I just cry instead cause everything is so overwhelming right now especially the pile of bills that keeps getting bigger and the fact that I can no longer binge on ice cream to dull the pain. I am not dealing very well with it at all. I’d slash my wrists but I can’t look down to see where to cut!

About briedah

there is a tendency to list accomplishments and other meaningless demographics here...I am not that ambitious or organized but feel compelled to create art as a way to cope with my physical pain, loneliness and anxiety. i am delightfully candid about my past exploits but currently struggle with my powerlessness over a life long addiction to sugar. these new pages with focus on change, behavior triggers, dreams and reactions to life stressors shall help me voice my pain and frustration. the next six months i will try to un-do some of the insanity that has caused me to neglect my health and my soul...in december 2011 i am scheduled for bariatric surgery, a procedure that will be a tool to help me lose 100 pounds. the quick fix is no longer an option.
