Krista's Dream Journal

Hey loves. If any of you are still here anyway, ha.

I do apologize for a long, long absence. When I left last time, I had just found out that I was pregnant, and I was over-analyzing my dreams, so I had to stop recording them. It was stressing me out. I was picking them apart trying to figure out if they were trying to tell me my baby was dead (anxiety!). The baby ended up being fine and I gave birth to a baby girl by emergency c-section on July 7 of last year. She is happy and healthy...such a joy. <3

I am now pregnant again, but going through some really tough issues in my life. We don't have a place to go when our lease ends on the 31st. We were going to move to Oregon, but with the pregnancy catching us by surprise, we decided to wait since the move itself could be stressful enough to harm the pregnancy. We are very poor, barely making ends meet (my parents were going to help us move out there). Things are not going well. And I honestly wasn't even thinking about DV, but I had a friend request in my email, so I came back.

I would like to start journaling again, but my recall is suffering pretty badly right now, though my dreams are very, very vivid. I'd like to find some insight into all the craziness happening in my life lately. It's been a long time since I had a LD that I can remember, but hopefully this will fix it.

On a similar note, some of the pregnancy/post-partum dreams I had I wish I would have written down. The hormones REALLY drive up the vividness. But I had other things to tend to at the time, severe post-partum depression being one, something that I am still struggling with, especially now that I am off my antidepressants.

So anyway, KittenSquirrel (I think that's your name), thanks for friend requesting me. Maybe dream journaling again is going to help me find some insight into the craziness in my life/the world.
