It’s true, I did. My life is presently Derrick free at the moment. And, whilst things haven’t really calmed down since, I am feeling a certain gratitude for not having to deal with him.
I fled for British Columbia, where the forests are plentiful and the cell reception is sparse. There’s a neighbourhood moose that likes to walk down the street in the morning’s – perhaps he’s up early to get his workout done before his day begins. (And yes, it’s a ‘he’. I’m Canadian, we know these things) It’s very much a small town… the kind of place where everyone seems to know everyone and there’s a mini-van in every driveway and a roast in every oven. Oh, it’s also the kind of place where there’s still snow on the ground on April 16. Yeah, there’s definitely character.
As far as my health goes, I received no diagnosis from the Ear Nose and Throat Specialist. Not only that, but I also was told that he’s got nothing left to do to help me and that there’s no explanation for it, so I just have to live with it. It wasn’t the answer that I wanted, but, until I can find a new doctor who’s willing to think outside of the box, I guess I do just have to live with it.
In taking steps with my anxiety, I got a referral to talk with a Psychologist. They’re supposed to call me next Monday. I’ve known for a while now, at least a few months, that talking to someone could be a benefit to me. I’ve just been scared to go because I don’t have insurance right now and it’s quite expensive. That being said, I’ve decided that I’m going to go and I’m going to try it. We’ll see what happens. Trying to explain to the doctor that I have anxiety and not depression was a struggle.
I’m trying really hard to keep my insecurities in check. Not because I’m afraid of them, but moreso because I do not want to let them win. I know that I have a lot of work to do on myself, but everyone has to start somewhere.
Here’s to starting from somewhere. My brother sent me a text message that said ‘May the odds be forever in your favour’. Here’s to hoping.
As Sheldon puts it, “Go wherever the music takes you, kitten.” Good luck on your adventures. It sounds to me like you’ve been stuck in a rut and need a change.

Hi V, don’t think of your insecurities as demons that need to be vanquished. EVERYONE yes everyone with issues, mood disorders, severe or mild have insecurities and they dont go poof, I roll mine over. Some go away and new ones pop up like mental whack a mole

The whack-a-mole is awfully tiring, eh? I agree with you though.

You aren’t alone. I am still fighting all my demons too, all those little things that build up into a massive, ambiguous cloud of insecurity. But they aren’t unbeatable.
Just keep pushing for it, keep trying.

You are never alone. We all stand together to fight our demons. Enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and try to find some peace. Speaking as someone who split from a long-term relationship recently. Trust in your instincts, they are very usually good. Luna x
