It’s my birthday month this October and I have never felt further away from knowing where to go in life than I do at this moment. I’m sure that sounds strange to hear from me, but it’s the truth. I quit my job in June and I got rid of my apartment in June. I… Continue reading Feels Like Falling
It’s been exactly one week since my divorce. It still doesn’t feel real. I had a heinous week at school and today, for some reason, I had a lot of children slip up and call me Mrs. Wren. I try not to get upset at them since that’s what I asked them to call me the… Continue reading Faceless Room
Nothing could have prepared me for yesterday. In all my 16 months of withdrawing, I had yet to meet another sufferer like myself. I have spoken to many online, sharing our stories and our journey through this nightmare, but never once had I met someone face to face. That’s not to say the offer has… Continue reading My First Encounter
May 25th! Today marks 16 months for me going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal. I am writing to you from England which makes this even more exciting! I will be here for a while visiting my in-laws. Jack and I haven’t been here since June 2014. Much overdo! Like most Red Skin Warriors, change is not… Continue reading 16 Months TSW
Yesterday, my time line reminded me how far I have come in this withdrawal battle. I think it still boggles minds when talking about a withdrawal that can last years at a time, literally. I’m at 15 months and 19 days. That is 476 days. That is 685, 440 minutes. And I’m not even finished… Continue reading What a Year Looks Like
I’ve passed the 300 day mark (310)! Not really exciting in general, but to see how far I’ve come is pretty mind-blowing. It’s been a long journey with some road still ahead, but it feels much easier to track now. Knock on wood I don’t regress. I am STILL waiting for my MRSA swab results.… Continue reading 10 MONTHS TSW
And the itch goes on… 9.5 months. It’s been annoying, to say the least. I am living at my mother’s house, my husband is away being a bad ass, my dance friends are shoulder rolling on different stages, and life seems to be flowing as normal all around me as I sit and wait… and… Continue reading 9.5 Months
Hey Guys! Here is my new video!! Sorry, this post is a bit late. These past few weeks have been a roller coaster. 1) My husband, Jack, has left for tour. He is now an Assistant Carpenter for Disney On Ice’s “Dare To Dream” show. I am so proud of him. I know it was… Continue reading 2/3 of a Year! (8 Months TSW)
Unreal! 6 months! I told my husband I wanted to get food and celebrate, but what a strange thing to celebrate?… I don’t really want to celebrate that I’ve been going through hell for 6 months and have no end in sight, but, I do want to celebrate my resolve. I can’t believe I’ve lasted… Continue reading WooHoo 6 Months
At this point in time, I don’t see much progress. I’m at a slight stand still. It’s tiring, but I just have to keep going. Topical Steroid Withdrawal gives you no rest. She is a relentless bi-atch. And, I ask anyone reading this (who isn’t going through TSW), to take charge of your health. Don’t… Continue reading 5.5 Months of the Merry Go Round
