One of the first things my therapist said, this morning, was 'have you lost weight?'

Yea, close to 20lbs. I am at 135, this morning. I love this weight. I just don't love how I got here. No worries, though. By the time I left the Navy I was down to 115. (I'm 5'6) That was due to pharmaceutically induced anorexia because the real issue, sexual harassment, stress and anxiety, were ignored. Now it is due to MAGAt induced stress, anxiety and down right terror.

I apologised so many times feels like empty platitudes now. I have no right to ask anything from you, you've already endured and fought so much against a country that turned against It's own people. I know I'm selfish to say this but please do your best to take care of yourself, I hope to see our community come out on the other side if things ever get better.
On a lighter note, you're doing amazing you can do this!:> and just know, that I'm sending you virtual pseudo-hugs right now!!🫂
