Tryin to do what works

[NEmoose43]

I hear ya Islander.

She called after the doctor visit...turns out she has a kidney stone. Apparently it's past the most painful part though, and she got some nice painkillers as a bonus.

And the joking little text message was actually just teasing me. She said I was dead on with all of it, but there was obviously more stuff to her being happy about herself. I said I knew what she meant, and I do.

It really comes down to self-esteem and self-image with her. Not just body-image stuff, although that's a part of it, but about what makes her feel like a strong person. About what makes her feel like she has a sense of who she IS as a person. I know that a lot of WAWs say things like this, but I know that this is something that really bothers her and she's discussed at length with her IC.

Feelin pretty good right now. I know there's going to be a downturn, but after the last few days and the unbelievably inspiring post that Denver put up a few minutes ago, I'm feeling pretty good.
