The Road Back to Art
I've started to get back into art.
When I was young, I loved doing arts and crafts; but somewhere along the way, I lost my confidence. I went through a lot of bullying as a kid and the constant criticisms internalized and became negative self-talk.
The Cyberbully Part 2
Duplicate of “The Cyberbully” with a short update on the bottom. His current defense is that the screenshots were edited, so I have taken the liberty of adding the time stamps of the screenshots (all from October 16, 2023) in order to be more transparent.

Dr. Waters talked excessively during my first visit and focused almost solely on overactive bladder treatments - though I was there for recurring UTIs and kidney stones, which aren't something that overactive bladder causes.
“Don’t yell at my momma!”
