About purpleskies

This year has been hard. I was finally diagnosed with depression, though I still need to see a specialist. I was also diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and a seizure disorder. I have gone from being an active and healthy individual, doing yoga and jogging, swimming and biking, and starting my career in massage, to now... being stuck at home watching Netflix all day. I am starting on new medication for my RA and trying to be patient and positive. It has been really hard. I can barely walk and am in a lot of pain. Just hope to get some support on here. *sigh*

More About purpleskies

Hi. What's up? :P

 

 

 

A Native American elder once

described his own inner struggles in

this manner: "Inside of me there are

two dogs. One of the dogs is mean

and the other dog is good. The

mean dog fights the good dog all the

time." When asked which dog wins,

he reflected for a moment and

replied, "The one I feed the most."
