@cecsquared Thank you for sharing. Fwiw, my celiac is so bad and I'm so sensitive that the low gluten hosts make me sick. And the wine - I haven't figured out what in wine makes me break out in hives and trigger migraines. It's been real tough.

@cecsquared My dad almost literally killed me, and my mom said I "deserved it." Needless to say, I went no contact for a long while. So sorry this happened. 😢 *hug*

@cecsquared For many years, I would think about my 5 year plan and think how great it would be to accomplish it. It was not possible due to illness and other pressing responsibilities. However, in 2023, I finally finished my bachelor's and got accepted into grad school. Your time will come.

@mollyfleck Children's museum? There's an entry fee, but it's usually not expensive. Also, your local park district may have some indoor options.

@FrHarrison Awesome!

@EndOfDaysWoman I (finally) graduated college and started a masters degree.

@red10meg I once took midol, and without thinking, a beer. I slept for 26 hours. Only woken up because it was time for mass.

@MessyWorks @Duke_of_Pizza I no longer count calories, like ever. But for those who do....

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@cecsquared I have no ideas, but I think it's a lovely gesture of love toward your dogs.

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@old_soul_12 @cecsquared Yes!

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@cecsquared You made me google the book title! I thought it was out already! I can't wait for it to be published!

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@peoriapiper Cool! I learned something new. 😊 thanks!

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@CarmeliteNick Yay, father! Congrats. 🥳

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@Duke_of_Pizza Praying for you.

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@cecsquared This is awesome and a reason to celebrate! <3

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@CarmeliteNick Happy anniversary!

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@cecsquared It's kinda funny. There are therapies that focus on this acceptance. The funny thing is, once I accepted suffering as an undeniable part of life, I don't suffer as heavily or as much. I still suffer - it just seems more bearable.

@cecsquared I had to do different therapies to find EMDR useful and not too disruptive. You're in my prayers.

[Maria Marz @mariamarz]

@cecsquared Sorry to hear! The good news is that you can get there! EMDR, in my experience as a patient, can be pretty intense and dysregulating, so learning to regulate by working on some things can be beneficial, not to mention getting a better handle on the issue(s) that bring you to EMDR
