Dizzy by Teresa Smeigh August 2018
My mind is in a tizzy.
My thoughts make me dizzy.
Bipolar is part of my problem.
My thoughts, can’t contain them.
Need help regrouping.
Hate this stinking thinking.

Getting a Sleep Study with Fibromyalgia or CFS
Getting a Sleep Study with Fibromyalgia or CFS
I have had several of these. They really aren’t a big deal despite knowing that someone was watching me sleep.
Tessa – advocate for mental health and invisible illnesses, also devout Christian
Author – http://www.finallyawriter.wordpress.com (this blog contains my old work), new work is on this blog http://www.tessacandoit.com
New Plan For This Blog
Since I am still getting new followers here I am going to stop moving my work to my main blog. All new stuff will go to the main blog http://www.tessacandoit.com and if you are looking for something to read go to my old blog (this one still has almost 700 stories, poems, etc. on this blog) http://www.alwaysawriter.wordpress.com. I even have some serial stories on there written in parts. Now I don’t have to move them.
WordPress won’t allow me to delete the original main blog without deleting my newer one which is the one I use all the time now.

http://www.tessacandoit.com (main blog)
http://www.finallyawriter.wordpress.com (no longer canceling this blog, just not adding new work to it, sign up for http://www.tessacandoit.com for the new posts).
Attention all followers, I am not going to update this blog, but no longer deleting and moving the older stuff.
So if you haven’t already subscribed to my number 1 blog http://www.tessacandoit.com, then now is the time to do it because that is where all of my new writing will be displayed from now on.
I will also be changing the name of the blog from Advocate for Mental Health back to “Tessa Can Do it!” Or something else if it strikes my fancy.
That way I don’t need to follow a certain way of posting things. It will contain everything from my life, my mental and physical ailments, my stories and poems, etc.
This one will be here since Word Press won’t allow me to delete this one as it is number one. If I delete it I will end up losing my “Tessa Can Do It” blog.
Feel free to wander around on this blog and read some of my older stuff. I think there are are still over 600 pieces on here.

Susie’s Toys – Friday Fictioneers May 31, 2017
PHOTO PROMPT © Karuna
Susie looked at her poor toys. The three of them the firemen saved and threw outside. They were soaking wet from the firemen putting out the fire in her house and they hadn’t had time to dry yet.
As Susie gently dried her toys as best she could. Drops started and then there was a downpour soaking them again.
Susie said, “God is crying over our loss!”
A fireman said, “And he is helping us put out the rest of the fire. You’re blessed today, young lady.”

100 Word Challenge – Storm – May 31, 2017
Tara’s Thin Spiral Notebook – prompt weekly
The prompt is: storm
The sky was darkening quickly. Annie scrambled to gather her things and get inside before the rain started.
As she leaned against a tree, a knife slashed into the tree, by her head. She started to run and headed towards the trees hoping to lose whoever he or she was.
As she stopped to rest another knife landed in the tree next to her. They were still there.
She headed back to the house and wished she had her cellphone on her.
She was grabbed by the ponytail and a knife was brought to her neck. Then all went black…
