Returning to Life

Posted on October 13, 2019 by lymestorm

I took a lot of time off from writing (too much time.)  At first it wasn’t really intentional.  Life was happening and it was chaotic and busy and I wasn’t checking in. I was more focused on living my life … Continue reading →

Phoenix Rising

Posted on May 4, 2016 by lymestorm

The last several months I haven’t been myself.  Too tired, too depressed, too suicidal to do anything. My days were taken minute by minute in a battle to survive the damage that my brain and body have endured. I found … Continue reading →

Posted on October 25, 2015 by lymestorm
