^Link to last log that has links to former logs.

Military Wife of 15 years
2 children(10-boy almost 5-girl)
32

For the past 5 years I’ve been in the trenches battling this special kind of hell- AKA- Hypothyroidism-
only NOW beginning to understand more, getting proper care for it and getting MY LIFE BACK!!!
Thinking back though, I believe I’ve been dealing with this disease longer than I imagine.
I’d guess shortly after my son was born.

My focus is getting/staying healthy, which includes a plethora of stuffs, so I can be the best Betty, Wife, Mommy, and Friend I can be!

Thanks for all your continued support <3

#19

ya, I guess I have been a downer the last couple years, huh?

My computer has my friends in it :slight_smile:
I have IRL friends but there more like acquaintances. I mean if we ever needed something while the hubby’s are deployed then we are THERE, no question asked.
But I don’t have real honest friends that I just call up and chat away at.
Is that how it is when you get growed up?
Or maybe it’s different for military spouses.
you tend to keep to yourself so as not to get caught up in drama.
At least for me anyway. I’m safer in my little bubble. The times I’ve tried to reach out, I got screwed.
blah
