Dear Journal:
Yes, I know, I am wearing you out today, but you look quite hungry since I have pretty much starved you as of late, until the last couple of days.
I just wanted to note that I am really enjoying reading The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. Being mentally ill myself, as well as a woman, I can relate to a lot of what she writes. Reading her has been kind of an awakening for me. There are sometimes a word that she uses, phrases, or maybe even a memory, that incites my own thoughts and memories of things I have lived through, some good, some bad. Yet, they are totally different from hers, but still part of my life...my own story. Hmm...I find that quite interesting.

TORNADO IN LEE COUNTY
On March 3, 2019, an EF4 tornado with winds of 170 mph hit Lee County, Alabama, where I have lived most of my entire life. I was born in Lee County, Opelika, Alabama to be exact. I have never been part of any type of devastation like this in all of my almost-60 years on this earth. The damage was catastrophic, and the lives lost so far number 23.
One of the saddest stories that I have heard about so far is that of an 11-year-old girl, Kayla Grimes. Her Dad and soon-to-be stepmother were camping with Kayla and one of her friends, Taylor Thornton, when the tornado hit. It killed them all with the exception of Kayla. She is at the University o

I feel more normal and stable than I have my entire life, and yes, that is a great thing! I have fought hard to get to where I am, and yes, I do mean fight. It has been a long, hard fight, but by Ned I won!
I’ve been in and out of therapy since the age of 17. I have seen therapists, psychiatrists, been in the ER, as well as being hospitalized in the psych ward a couple of times. Mental illness is not fun. I know what it feels like to be a prisoner inside my own body. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
No, I am not crazy. I am mentally ill. I am not ashamed to tell anyone that. I did nothing to cause it. In my family, it is hereditary,

She said, “Mr. Wood, I need to get another urine specimen from you, I will be back in a few minutes to pick it up.”
