Thoughts and Life Happenings

Good evening;

Just wanted to give a life update for you guys similar to what ThatFLGuy has done.

Well; health wise - my bladder spasms seem to not be improving. I've found myself wherever I go whether it is work, running errands or even around the house not stopping going to the bathroom. It's something I've come accustomed to, yes - but it still is an emotional inconvenience and toll.

I recently had to open up to an officer for our local PD to go over things going on in my life and to talk about a possible cyber crime investigation. From what i am told; I have to tell the perpetrators to stop; or issue a Cease & Desist order - but since we cannot exactly pinpoint the culprit - i guess I'm in between a rock and a hard place. It has affected my medical conditions as having to continuously open up about my childhood and trauma - has worsened my continuous bladder spasms and has caused PTSD episodes and flashbacks. But God bless the officer I met with this week; and hopefully I am going down the correct avenue with other agencies to get this situation resolved.

I've learned in this support group as well as another - we have to be our number one advocate. And for anyone struggling with trauma, or medical ailments such as continence issues - please dont be afraid to speak up and do your best to advocate for yourself.

My significant other is still looking for a job; and we are hopefully settling with our landlord over our illegal eviction next week at some point. We are hoping things go back in our favor - as we had an offer on the table but it was recinded on. We have a wonderful representative who is helping us in that regard so that we can finally move on from our old apartment and settle the past which will hopefully fingers crossed - help myself and my significant other to get back on our feet again.

I still haven't talked to my Dad or my Dad's side of the family; however they have reached out recently to comment on my social media to stir the collective stew of sorts to try to trigger myself. I suppose I'm disheartened but trying not to let it get to me or get me down.

I am still on Medicaid health insurance so i have been thinking about setting up an appointment with a new primary care physician to get referred to a local urologist. I feel bad for having to use the states resources in terms of health insurance; but it is the best that I can afford.

I've learned with social services in this country in terms of getting back on my feet - you are either on the system or you are not offered much. I am blessed that I am able to receive some sort of affordable healthcare; but am disappointed to see how far we have regressed as a country to services for families and individuals who are down on there luck.

Well - that's really all from myself. I've been playing Lego Star Wars: The Complete Sega today - and that got me to thinking wondering where @scififan has been hiding. Hope you are doing well man. I hope everyone is doing well!

Yes absolutely be your own advocate at times it's required.

Advocating for your self can ruffle feathers and touch nerves at times. This is what I've found so far in my self advocating. But it can allow you to light fires under butts to get things done ie crack the whip if you will.
 
I agree with the other members, stay strong, advocate for yourself, & it may take time but you will get through it. Time seems to pass slowly when we’re down, depressed, stressed, overwhelmed, & just going through very challenging life events. Soon it will just be a life experience of your past. Keep up your strong faith my friend.

Hi Honeecomb. First off.....OMG!!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL,PRESIOUS, LITTLE MAN!!! I'm guessing it's you? I always wanted a baby with red hair.
The Nana in me wishes I could take him and hug him and let him know he is safe with me. I know you have been through alot in your young life, but I'm always so impressed and inspired by your heart-felt and mature writings. You have a gift. Also, I remember seeing some of your art work you shared on here. Also fantastic. I can do a wonderful stick figure if I try really hard. Thank the Lord for digital I say!
Anyway, know you are in my thoughts and prayers and keep creating!!

I just wanted to say that the avatar and boy in my profile picture is protected. He is protected, loved, and cared for by many of men who are the victims of trauma and abuse and are survivors.

I like to create logos and artwork on my spare time because I love to see "what could be" in the future or at least redesigning America to be more competitive to foreign countries and companies. For too long we have not been the innovators - I believe it is time to take back the reigns.

In regards to other things I like to do - writing is partially one of them. I don't have the patience to write something long; but am pretty well versed when it comes to jotting down eloquent notes or posts.

If there is anything I could offer for advice to help you and your journey - it is to find something you love and and keep your kind focused on that.

I can say the men whom I have met in another support group have been inspiring and safe company while I go through my trials. It is ironic really - the people who don't feel safe at all; who have gone through so much in life like myself - are the ones bringing me safety when I need it most at this time.

Those, are good people.

Blessings In Christ,
Honeeecombs
