I have been struggling a lot with motivation lately. My stomach's been hurting a lot, so I'm probably going to have to go get that checked out. Plus, college finals have been a beast. I have the next 3 chapters of Heart of Betrayal written. I just need to edit them before publishing them. I never thought I would have to do this, but I could really use some help financially. It's not serious or anything, but it is making it difficult for me to get a lot of important stuff done during the day as well taking away any free time that I had for writing. That's why I would deeply appreciate it if you could check out my ko-fi account. Any little bit could help. Thank you. My ko-fi account is linked in my bio

@Sister_of_SHIELD Thank you so much for the advice! Right now, it looks like I might either have a stomach ulcer or a duodenom ulcer. Hopefully, one of these is the case, and I'll be able to get the treatment I'll need for either them. I would much appreciate it if you pray for me tho. I also recently found out that my dog might have a tumor, so now everything has just become an absolute mess. Writing has become a way to cope for me but with everything going on right now, I don't even really as much time as I would like for that anymore.

Best of luck with figuring everything out! Dealing with constant stomach pain can be so demoralizing, especially when you have the stress of school and life on top of it all. If you ever want to talk, please feel free to reach out <3

obviously stress is a big factor. I’m sure your college finals have been no help to that. but also, I found that artificial sweeteners were like poison to my stomach. It took so long to figure out that they were a trigger, but when I removed all of them (including stevia, even if it’s considered natural) it was like a night and day difference. I had been consuming them nearly every day in my electrolytes without even noticing, since the electrolytes I was using ALSO had cane sugar. A lot of brands will use both real and artificial to make the caloric level more appealing to consumers. gluten and lactose intolerances can also contribute to stomach pain and can be hard to diagnose properly, as everyone experiences them differently.
