Nfnsng - No Fear, No Shame, No Guilt

Thank you so much, and I love your work! It's hard to explain to people what it's like to be as young as I am and have chronic pain, and sometimes it's even harder on me trying to keep it all together. And fighting back tears and thoughts of just ending it all because it seems easier to do that. Thank you for listening.

You're more than welcome, Ashleigh. And thank you so much for your compliment. Hey, I'm here to listen and to help you any time you like. I really do understand. And Amanda understands too. She went through her entire childhood and young adult life w hallucinations, night frights, severe depression and anxiety and extreme sensory sensitivity to name just a few. She was incorrectly diagnosed and treated for bi-polar disorder and everything else they could come up w as early as 12 and until she was 26 when they found she had a brain tumor. The removed the tumor and all the symptoms went away. Not only did she suffer the symptoms of her disease but she did it w very little compassion and much condemnation from her parents and friends for being "just a selfish brat". When she showed up at my door she was only days away from death.  I got her treated properly and she is an entirely new person. She still has residual symptoms and the emotional scars to deal w but she is 95% a normal person now. So hang in there. You're not alone. I care about you and will do whatever I can to help you through your situation. I'm no stranger to what you're dealing w. Just know that there are people out there who know what you're going through and really do love and care about you.

those more followers post are getting to be too much.

The Necessary Evil Of The Follow for Follow" Post

Hi Anon and thanks for your opinion. It matters to me! Anyone who blogs wants to be followed, otherwise, what would be the point, right? Well, there are many tools available for generating followers and one is the "Follow for Follow" post...and, for the better part, they work. When you're a neophyte, which I am, you have to post them and you have to post them often because older ones get buried in the feeds. I go through them periodically and try to weed out ones that have not been liked or re-blogged. But I agree w you. Aesthetically, even one is too many. Still, when you're starting out it's balancing act between securing followers and aesthetics. I mean, if no one is following me then, no matter how aesthetically pleasing my blog is, it won't matter, And, if you're a follower, which you apparently are, it's a balancing act between finding the blog enjoyable enough to continue following despite the smattering of "Follow for Follow" posts...or not :-) ~ Trabue Gentry
