A Month of Blogs Day 1 (About Me)

Image
If I remember to do it, I will be posting a blog post every day this month with prompts I have. Today is "write about yourself as a person". To be honest I've always found it difficult to do this. It seems much more east to write about another person than to do it about myself. Well, I have been on disability (SAID) for years and years now. I am unable to work at all. Physically there are things I could do, like work in an office some place, but I can't do the stress of working it seems. The last 3 times I tried, I ended up having to quit and ended up in the hospital for emotional reasons. It triggered an outbreak of my mental illness. I suffer from depression, anxiety and schizoaffective disorder. It has limited me greatly over the years. Strangely enough, I had my first outbreak late in life. Normally it will happen in your teen years. I was in my 40's at the time. Before I got on proper meds, the depression was crippling, it left me in a hell of a bad state of

New Bed Frame and Mattress

Image
No, my pillow is not soaked in blood LOL - It does seem to be covered in dry blood in the photo for some reason. It's just a sweat statin. But that is not the point - the point is, it's a new bed. The frame is nice and solid, I had my doubts about it when it showed up, but it's rated for 600 lbs and I'm 332 lbs. So it should work. The mattress is a memory foam kind with no springs in it. The experts say they last 6 to 8 years. With my size I'm hoping for 3 years out of it. Would be very nice if it lasted longer however. The old style with springs started out at $500 and went up into the $1200 range. I am NEVER going to have $500 to spare, so that's out of the question. I think I paid about $400 for my last one 13 years ago. The foam top on it did not start to deform for a good 5 or 6 years, so I hope it's going to be longer lasting than 3 personally. This is the waste from just the mattress. 2 garbage bags of plastic, and a tone of cardboard. I had to pry ou

A Callus on My Heel Causing Pain

Image
I have a callus on the heel of my left foot that has been bothering me for years now. I try to put lotion on it, but it often does nothing to help. It ends up pealing off and there is dead skin from my foot all over my apartment (even in the bed). Now and then there will be a spot that cracks or peals too deep and it will give me a lot of pain when I walk, this is such a time sadly. Below is a photo with the spot in question circled. You can get chemicals to apply that will help you peal it all off, but I don't have money to spend on this, and I don't have money to go and get it removed every other month from a professional. Thus I deal with it when I can, and how I can. It's not nearly as bad as it was in the past however, as I've managed over the last several years to reduce it in thickness and keep it from forming deep cracks that can lead to infection. This is caused by repeated pressure on the location and the skin tries to protect it's self by forming a callus
