It did not take me this long to build up a following last time around. Although, at that time I was way more vocal and open to sharing my personal life. I’ll have to find a creative way to become interesting here instead of my real self. 😁
My daughter moves out in less than a month and I’m feeling more and more depressed daily. I’m so excited for her and I’d never let her know how I’m feeling, but it’s been the two of us for 5 years now. I’m about to be completely lost.
It hit me like a ton of bricks this morning that I’m still divorced and single (don’t want to date) and while my daughter already does her own thing, she’ll no longer be that presence in the house when she moves out for college. I’m not okay. I can’t snap my fingers out of this.
I lost my long time Twitter account. Realizing it was heartbreaking but it was my own fault for not reactivating my account in time. So, I’m starting over hoping to find the people dear to me who helped me through some of my hardest times.❤️

For those who have been divorced, how long was it before you could truly open your heart again? Did it take the right person coming into your life organically or were you actively seeking your next partner (ie: dating sites)?
Day 1 of Bama Bound in the books. Half a day today and we’ll be done. My daughter “officially” because a Bama student yesterday. Roll Tide Roll!! Where have the years gone?

My ex of 20 years left after I was diagnosed with Sjogren’s and a few other things and was forced to stop working. I’ve since been dx with Autonomic Neuropathy and POTS. I often wonder if I’ll ever organically meet someone who wants to share a life with someone such as me.
It’s so hard to believe how much time has gone by since I was extremely active here. A time when you all (I hope to find y’all) pulled me through some very dark times.
My girl is a HS senior already 😭 and I’m still single by choice since the divorce.
Time flies.
POTS friends, tonight was my first trip to the ER. I’ve had a flare (I think) since Thur and it finally scared me enough to go. After 3 liters of IV fluids, bloodwork, EKG and a head ct (?), I’m home feeling the same with low bp and a cardio referral 😩.

My brain fog is so severe these days I feel like every year I’m getting dumb and dumber (no pun intended). I shy away from intellectual conversations because often I can’t even find the words.
Hear me out. I’ve never met a person and thought based on their career or connections “I wonder what they can do for me.” I don’t care if you’re a doctor, a forklift driver or disabled… if you’re kind to me and don’t try to use me, that’s all that matters. Use me & kick rocks.
I’ve literally opened my phone no less than 7 times today with the intent of checking the weather for the upcoming weekend. This time, the 7th, I finally remembered without scrolling other apps. 🤦♀️🐿
During my hiatus I forgot people can get their scientific evidence and perceived truths from random strangers teaching at Twitter University, much like Facebook University. That’s one thing I haven’t missed.
Waking up with at least 12 spoons a day would be amazing at this point. Those of us facing this sometimes have a couple, sometimes more, and it can fluctuate throughout the day, day by day.

Even these birds have a better love life than I do. 😂 The one wanting so many kisses is a little too clingy for me though.

I think I know now why I avoided Twitter for so long. (Yes, it’s Twitter… shush.)
Y’all are proof that people with/without lives exist. Okay, just people in general. Dissociation for a few years was… fun? Yeah, let’s go with that. Can I go back? Nothing hurt there.
Advice? My daughter (only child) graduates high school in 12 days. It hits me in waves. I’m so proud of her and excited for this next journey in her life (moving into a dorm in August) but it hits me hard out of the blue that I’ll be a single empty nester. Tips?

I also have chronic illnesses (multiple). I started gaining and couldn’t lose even though I thought I was doing everything right. Then I started semaglutide and realized in hindsight food noise had been extremely loud in my head. I can’t exercise much or take “diet” pills.
@BamaBass
I’m an only child. My daughter is an only child. It wasn’t what I wanted for her but it’s the cards I was dealt. I can’t imagine having a baby at 45. That probably has to do with my chronic health conditions but I’m good being a grandmother one day rather than a mom to another.

@BamaBass
I had friends growing up with much older parents. Unfortunately, I couldn’t have more than 1 and now it’s just hard to imagine… for me personally.
@bookslover
Jealous of those of you who have the social skills to maintain friendships throughout life. I have a hard enough time making friends much less keeping them. Following in my mom’s footsteps with that one. 🤷♀️😬
@steelydanjr
I’m so tired of squinting then trying to readjust, using different strength readers depending on what I’m reading, no longer being able to easily make out signs at times (like street signs) and having difficulty driving at night… yeah. It’s time. They don’t look bad.
@rmidawg
I’m trying to prepare myself for the quiet house and no one bossing me around ha! I imagine it’ll take me a hot minute to work through that first.
