Kim

I have an older brother and two older sisters. One of my sisters is less than a year older than me.

I sometimes do but it would be out of either frustration or if I am feeling helpless.

This proves I am such an overgrown kid, but a few months after my cat died, I bought a stuffed black cat off of walmart.com, and I keep it on my bed. Any time I need to cuddle with it, I will actually pull it to me and sleep with it.

I know how you feel. Trust me on that. On May 6, 2024, I lost my best friend and furbaby, Shadow. It hurt so bad losing her that I went through depression. The truth is that it is still a struggle for me. She was there for me even after my daughters grew up and moved out and on their own.

That is my favorite bible quote. It is also my daughter's favorite.

I am allergic to wasp stings, mint, and acetone. I also have seasonal allergies, so it's normally bad when the seasons change.

Thanks so much.

Mine is February 15th.

Thanks, C.J. I am liking this place so far.

I forgot to add this in my above post, but I also have epilepsy. I haven't had a seizure in a long time, though. I do still have tremors when I am very stressed or scared.

Thank you. It's nice to meet someone else who has hydrocephalus and diabetes. I am working on trying to lose weight so I can reverse mine. Mine is also type 2. The headaches are so annoying.

Thank you! It's nice to meet you, too!

Hey, CJ! It's great to see you on here!

Hello! It is great to meet you too. Thank you!

Thank you, @Enigma ! I really appreciate it!

Hello, everyone! I am Kim. I am 53 years old, and I found the link to this forum on TCH. I was born with hydrocephalus, which is fluid on the brain. It caused me to suffer a lot of delays and prevented me from living a completely normal life. I don't let it hold me back, though. I've had two dreams in my life. One is to become a published author. I am still working on it. The other is to become a mom. This one I succeeded on. I have been battling depression for years. It has gotten worse after the death of my emotional support cat and best feline friend, Shadow, last year. I am also into exercise and weight loss (I have diabetes), creating graphics, and a variety of other activities.
