Alrighty boys and girls its time for the long awaited (a whopping three days) "get to know me" post. So for any of you out there that don't know me, which I'm pretty sure there aren't any of you that don't but oh well, this is the all about me. Who knows, maybe some of this will be more than you know about me causse I'm not really gonna hold much back here. I'm going through a pretty interesting time in my little bubble and apparently I am going to write about it and for me to write about and not be constantly explaining things you have to have an idea about me. Soooo, ya, enough stalling, her goes.
My name is Lissy, I am (siiiiiiigggggghhhhhh) 30 years old and I live in Seattle. The Seattle thing is reasonably new. I moved off of my little island about 6 months ago and am once again braving the real world. If any of you have lived in small town USA then imagine that times about a billion since you could only get to the island by ferry. Needless to say it is a whole different universe full of almost NOTHING to do. Everyone knows everyone and everyone's business. It became my safe place and when I moved in with my mom for various reasons I quickly found myself in a major safety blanket... RUT. So after a wonderfully crafty push from my mom (which luckily ended up with her being in a really great place) I found a tiny little apartment all for me and my kitty maow. That lasted for about 4 months until my honey and I got sick of commuting back and forth to each others houses (which were almost exactly a mile away from each other) and we moved into a bigger apartment in the same complex. Weeeee! Who has her very own guest bedroom baby?!?
All of that leads me to my love life and my honey. For once in my life I have an awesome, healthy love life. How cool is that? Jason and I have been together now for almost a year and its still amazing. This whole actual adult relationship thing can't be beat! We are figuring out the whole living together thing which is great because I was worried that it could become a bit of a nightmare. See, technically we shouldn't make sense. We are so completely different from each other that we were either destined to love each other or despise one another. Luckily for me it turned into love. And with that love comes all the cool things that are supposed to be there; caring, understanding, support, you name it.
Which leads me nicely into the main thing that is going on in my bubble. It's kind of hard to type after trying to pretend it doesn't exist for so long but this blog is gonna be all or nothing for me so read on. I have pretty major depression issues. I'm sure this comes as no shock to some of you (seeing as it got hard for me to put the "everything is good" mask on for awhile) but it's not something I usually go on about to anyone but my inner circle. It's something that I have tried to deal with for a long time and sometimes it gets worse, sometimes it gets tolerable, sometimes it is mostly non-existent. I have kind of half heartedly gotten help along the years but really nothing that I was serious about (hence the half heartedly??? how redundant am I??) Anywho, about a year and a half ago it got so bad that I stopped eating, for like, four days...NOT GOOD (especially since usually when I get depressed I eat, then I feel fat which makes me more depressed so I eat some more, see the vicious cycle?) So I got help. I saw a doctor, we talked about my issues and I got a prescription to help me deal with all the stuff that I just CAN'T do on my own. And now I talk about it a bit more, I explain what's going on with me, and I ask for help when I need it. Which in a long-winded way is where Jason ties in with all of this. He has been amazing in supporting me through all of this. And he hasn't run screaming yet after all the times I am all of a sudden bawling for absolutely no reason!
Anyways, those are the key points in my life. I have a new job too but I've been typing for a while and I feel like I have used up my crative/witty juices for the day. Hopefully this was reasonably entertaining, since really that is the point of this. I want to entertain y'all as I blabber on about my life (how else am I gonna get more than 7 followers unless I am entertaining!!!!!) So, ya, hopefully none of the rest of you feel the need to run screaming from my particular brand of crazy, and hopefully you only gagged a little as I got all ooey-gooey about my relationship. Fear not avid readers! I promise an ooe-gooey free post on the morrow!
