Getting Healthy

My loving friends and fans,

I am finally on the right track to getting healthy. As you may have noticed I took a small break from blogging and facebooking. This unintentional pause was due to some issues I've been dealing with since I was a teenager. Without getting too dramatic and too detailed, I've struggled with hormone based depression for many years now and it's finally caught up with me to the point where I have to get it figured out once and for all. I've been taking different birth control pills once the symptoms really started causing major problems. Well, the problems have gotten to a point now where I really have to get to the bottom of what's going on in my body.

I hope this doesn't sound melodramatic  I guess I feel like if I'm open and honest about it, I'll start to feel less ashamed and embarrassed from it. For a long time, I thought that I was a lazy person and didn't have the self discipline to really be ambitious, I now know that (most of the time) it was from depression and hormonal levels that would keep me exhausted.

I'm looking forward to working through these problems and finding a solution.

What this means for Threaded City and my other creative outlets is that I'm allowing myself to do what I can and not stress over what I can't while I'm getting healthy. I hope that the market will be somewhat understanding and give me a little grace while my start isn't as strong as I would like. Patty and I will still be doing farmers markets and plotting and planning for the future.

Thank you to those of you who understand and are willing to hang in there with me.

Andrea
