My morbid/oddities/vulture culture buddy is gone

My morbid/oddities/vulture culture buddy is gone

My niece recently passed away, and she was the only other person in my life who enjoyed bone, bug and oddities collecting 😔 a couple years ago she and I went for a walk and I jokingly said " if we find any bones I get to keep the skull " well don't we come across a beautiful opossum skull with a mandible and some vertebrae. Well me being the nice aunt that I am, I took the smaller pieces and she kept the skull. Even through 2 moves she kept it and when I found it I couldn't help but cry. I have also found other bones and oddities she has collected and it makes my heart hurt yet so happy knowing she also found enjoyment in the "abnormal".

The skull is now part of my little collection as I truly don't think she would mind. This is just not how I expected it to be in my possession 😔 the little pink and green box in the background also has some of her baby teeth. I think she would appreciate the display.

Life changing

I had posted almost 2 weeks ago how I have finally started treatment as a 33 year old. I was able to pick out what to wear the first morning within a matter of minutes. I think the biggest impact that I hadn't noticed until today is that I haven't suffered from my insomnia in nearly 2 weeks. I've slept through the night, every night, for almost 2 whole weeks. I can never remember a time that I woke up feeling rested. For at least 10 years I was always waking up for 1-4 hours in the middle of the night. Always feeling like I needed to take a nap but pushing through, just for it to happen all over again that night. I'm so incredibly thankful to have found a provider who listens to me and who believes what I go through on a daily basis. It was never "just anxiety and depression". Friendly reminder to never settle, someone is out there who is willing to help.

Tears of joy

I was diagnosed 3 years ago at the age of 30 and looking back, everything makes sense. I have finally found a provider who has prescribed me with a stimulant adhd medication and started treatment 3 days ago. The morning of my first dose I couldn't help but cry. The thousands of tabs open in my mind? Closed. In the mornings it can take me at least half an hour (sometimes more) just trying to work up the energy/motivation/focus to figure out what to wear. 5 minutes. It took me 5 minutes and it was such an amazing way to start my day. I can't wait to see what this new clarity has in store for me 🥹
