I love both your funny stories and the ones that share your struggles and pain. None of them are boring. I will read them all.

'Part of the deal of becoming myself is looking after myself...'

I didn't realise how much I needed that until I read it. Thank you.

My therapist of about 6 years actually suggested the other week that I could be a standup comedian as I make her laugh so much with some of the things I tell her; one of these being a failed suicide attempt which resulted in a fate much worse than the peaceful death I'd planned for, including an arrest and necessitating an emergency plumber. It must be the way I tell 'em.

I immediately thought of the costs of the call out of an emergency plumber there! Ouch. xx

Yea… me too. I was given the gift of turning something bad into a funny story. I had a dream of stand up comedy at one point, then I realized it was a mechanism to mask the pain. I worked through it and am coming back around to funny in a good way. Good post!
