I just saw this now! I hope everything is alright with her and her family. Notkristie is a big part of this community and like many of us, I greatly appreciate her as well as her contributions to this forum.

She’s great value. I have time for her.
If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!

Ugh, ugh, ugh. Where to start and what to say?
January is Mental Health Awareness month, so I will say this with as little shame as possible in hopes of helping destigmatize the issue a bit.
With my dr.'s blessing, I went off one of my meds for depression (cue jokes about someone being off their meds) in November. Been on them most of the time since I was 14 years old. Periodically, I will go off, always with my dr.'s approval, b/c I'm doing well. The same thing *always* happens. I crash and burn.
My mother did not call me on my 50th birthday, she said because we'd spoken the day before about some other stuff related to my family's upcoming visit to her for Christmas. When I expressed (as maturely and constructively as possible) how much this hurt me, she turned it around on me. This led to a spiral, and the day after Christmas I found myself unable to get out of bed or eat, hoping to just disappear from the world. Hence disappearing from here, which is now my only social media.
Back home now, back on the medication (it will take a couple of weeks to kick back in) and have an appointment to see my dr. It was the wrong time to discontinue medication given the multiple stressors of a big birthday, holidays, a family visit, physical health issues, being unable to dance at the moment, and the uncertainty of what the hell I will do for work once I retire from massage in February (I'm feeling a sense of purposelessness).
Thanks to all those who expressed concern. I am OK. You are good people.

Jeebuz kirstie . That's a lot to carry on just one set of shoulders & I do hope you're feeling more your old self soon. But take all the time you need. Main thing is you're on the mend. Good to have you back with us
Medical stuff sucks. Tuesday I had an ultrasound endoscopy in my stomach. Although I won't have total results for at least a week it turns out I have some pre cancerous growths in my stomach. Not enough for invasive surgery at this point but there will be meds to try & slow or stop them from getting bigger. The procedure was kind of brutal. I was under anesthesia for a long time. I have a swollen lip & my throat is sore on a level like strep throat without the fever. Hopefully I'll be back to "normal" tomorrow. Am going to have to be checked every year.

Very sorry to read this and at the same time very happy to have you back. Hope it gets better soon. My best wishes from across the ocean, Kirstie.
