Deserving

There are so many things going on right now. The death of my aunt and the feelings that are resurfacing for my grandma, my best friend's career, and a cousin's almost life-altering moment.

Seriously. You've got to wonder sometimes how much one person, or family has to endure before things go their way.

I care a lot for my family and friends. When they're hurting, I hurt. I probably hurt too much. I guess I'm overly compassionate. Which, could be a good thing or a bad thing.

I just wish I could reach out to them more and help them. I feel helpless. What do I say? What do I do? I want to kick someone's ass for them so bad, and give them a huge verbal beatdown. But, I know that won't help anything.

All I can do is be that shoulder that someone might need.

Fatigue...

I've been extremely tired lately. It's not just a certain part of the day. It's all day.

I've been seeing my dad's holistic lady, R, the last two months. I saw her Monday night and she told me my thyroid is 'under active'.

R told me that I needed to talk two different forms of herbs to help my thyroid.

From what I read on-line, it can take a while to actually get any type of thyroidism. But, I have a lot of the symptoms listed on multiple sites.

So, I guess I'm starting my journey to have a normal functioning thyroid... Wish me luck! My mother had cancer on/in her thyroid, and had two surgeries for it. They just removed it during her second surgery.
