Wednesday December 7, 2022 | Nicki Rose

Guess what Nicki Rose did?  I was taking a couple of letters for my mom out to the mailbox to be mailed and Nicki Rose shot out the door and hauled out to the street at least she knows not to get in the street.  My mom had a knee replacement surgery.  Then she went across the street to the neighbors yard and she laid down and she knows she did wrong because her ears went down flat against her head and her head went down.  I wasn't going to hit her. I was only going to carry her back over our yard and in the house and say "No! you don't go out the front door."    

Wednesday November 30, 2022 | Affirmations

I can already tell with that first affirmation.  I can't make my own decisions with confidence and conviction.   Ugh! You mean Mom and Dad only can make my decisions with confidence and conviction!   Yeah, but I can do other things. You know the simple things like make my bed, or cook for myself.  But if it's dealing with other people, I can't make that kind of decision!  It's only because I have selective mutism. Selective mutism is a talking condition. But there is so much more than selective mutism being a condition of not talking.

After Thanksgiving Jason told me that he thought that my sister was fat!  Ugh!  He has no room to talk since he's as big as a house!  I made a post on Facebook and it said something like this.  My cousin Gail says "You go girl"!  LOL  👀😂

Thursday November 24, 2022 | Happy Thanksgiving

Earlier in the week on Sunday I started my period and then ended the week well not ended the week but on Thursday I had two anxiety attacks. I got up from my desk and went to take 1 attivan before heading over to my sister and brother-in-laws house on Thanksgiving. There I also had another anxiety attack. I don't think I even know why  I have them?

  What compliment do I wish someone would give me? That I wish someone would give me is how much that I have lost.  I wish someone would notice that I have lost weight.    

Friday November 18, 2022 | Life Taught life lessons

Which recent experience in  life taught  you a big lesson? Life taught me to never run from the police.  But when you have selective mutism and unable to physically talk and want to run and hide.  It is part of selective mutism to want to run and hide.  

Thursday November 17, 2022 | Talking to people and making friends

When I was living in the apartment over there for three years, I felt like the apartment was actually my mom's apartment and I was paying her rent on it.  Marcy would call my mom and she would come over and straighten me out.  I would like to get an apartment and then really feel like it is my apartment.  My mom would tell me what to do and tell me to stay at home when all I wanted to try and do was go out of the apartment and talk to people.  I did accomplish something was I did do a somewhat of a gigsaw puzzle with one of the elderly. It was during the holidays in 2011.   It is just that I wanted to speak so badly to them but I couldn't.  I was so anxious.   If it ever happens again, I would like to give you some tips to actually help me or help anyone with selective mutism. But everyone who has or is living with selective mutism is just a bit different than everyone else. No SM individual is the same.  I can prove that mom and Granmaw...
