From darkness...to light...and back again

I am hoping that this will be a good way for me to work through all of the confusing changes in my life as I struggle to accept and cope with diabetes, bipolar disorder and being a single lesbian mom. I have no clue what else to write right now as my brain is moving faster than my fingers...LOL

Name:
Location: Chesapeake, Virginia, United States

Let's see, 41 yr old single lesbian mom (yes it IS possible...LOL) and student. I am working towards EARNING a degree in Web Development. It has taken me longer than expected to graduate due to family crisis' but it looks like I am finally going to make it.

Optimism?

I can't sleep. It is a combination of the stress of this situation as well as the uncertainty. I must admit I am scared. What if I can't find someplace soon enough...where will we go? I need to remain positive though. We will come out of this well...I have to believe that. My poor son though is so upset...when I picked him up from work tonight and was filling him in about everything that we would be doing he said he was kind of depressed about all of it. He said Mom...this is like the 4th time we have been homeless. That broke my heart...to know that my son has and does consider us homeless. I told him Honey we have never been homeless...we have always had somewhere to go. He responded with yeah...but never a place of our own.

He has been through so much in his short life...he has never really had any true security...he has been bounced around so much...it isn't fair to him....but...hopefully this is the first big step to some stability for him for the first time. I am going to try and get him in to see a therapist sooner though...the waiting list is so long....I am going to see what I can do.

My head is pounding....I know it is stress...I need to calm down....step back and just breathe....

I need to quit smoking too though so that I CAN breathe...LOL

We will make it through this. He is very happy that we are going to be staying with Grandma Judy as he calls her....

UGH...i have SO much to do this week and not enough hours in the days to do it....I will just have to make time somehow....how I haven't quite figured out....but I will get it all accomplished and be out of here completely by Sunday.
