I should be discharged soon from the psych hospital! This fiasco started (in my mind) in December 2018 when I was hospitalized and just kinda never could stay out. Before that I used to go inpatient about twice a year, but after Dec ’18 I was literally inpatient more than not. However, insurance doesn’t cover…

*UPDATE: Tom Chantry’s sister-in-law commented on this post to say that she supports Chantry and her Facebook posts were about something unrelated. For her exact words, see the comments. https://thewartburgwatch.com/2022/03/01/latest-court-documents-from-thomas-chantry-case/ As I mentioned, I found out about this recently and I’ve been careful to expose myself only in small doses because it’s upsetting. It feels…

The way this whole thing (that I’m just finding out about now) played out is a perfect illustration of the values that our church held to. I might write more later but now I’m upset. Somebody in my family should’ve asked if I was ok. Or at least when I got hospitalized for over a…

The church I grew up in was proud to be an ARBCA church, so today I googled ARBCA just to see what they were up to. It turns out that the whole organization had basically dissolved after a massive child molestation scandal. Growing up in Reformed Baptist churches, people (mostly cis-male people) did seem to…

Getting out of homeschool definitely felt like emerging from a coma, and I didn’t want to have to go through that again after about 13 months in the psych hospital. So, I spent a lot of time catching up on the news and writing myself some notes to help me study. I looked up all…

A lot has happened since I last posted. They found me a bed in a group home, and they say I should be discharging “in a few weeks.” They’ve been saying this for a few weeks now, which does not inspire confidence, but it does seem that I’m approaching the end of my time as…

I was looking at my 10-year plan, and I couldn’t help but notice that right about the time of my 35th birthday, I’m supposed to be doing a lot of monotonous school and work and I’m not usually very good at that. I’m used to trauma, and bouncing from crisis to crisis. So instead of…

Last night, for whatever reason, I remembered that once I discharge from here they’re probably going to make me go back to therapy. This resulted in me low-key crying for at least an hour. I hate therapy. People think that it doesn’t work because I have a bad attitude. They don’t take the time to…

I’m still researching my dreams and I found this video. It just seems like being an infant teacher would be my dream job. There have apparently been a lot of negative changes since COVID and I want to find out more about that. Also, obviously I would not be willing to apply for a job…

I’ve been saving lots of things on my reMarkable 2 (not a sponsor) because I’m allowed to have it during non-phone hours, so I thought I’d share a bit of my recent writings. Dreams I write about my dreams, goals, and ambitions, starting with the mundane and working my way up to my life’s plans….
