I live in eastern Kentucky. I was in the 2022 kentucky flood where two family members drown in sight of me. I was in the water for ten hours before a helicopter rescued me and others. I have written some books. Mountain Medicine. The Zodiac Killer Enigma

My last post shows the insane was I had to walk to catch the school bus. This is how far I have to walk now to reach a highway since the bridge to my home was destroyed in 2022 by a flood and never replaced. I'm disabled. This is life in my modern America.

This is how used to walk every morning to catch the bus for school. Down a bottom, around a cliff, and through this cave. My grandpa fell off that one night on his way home and drown. My life right now is basically the same. In modern America. I'll post it next.

Some people think you look old, some think you look young, some people think you look smart, while others think you look dumb, some people think you look mean, while others think you look nice, you never know just how you look, through other people's eyes. continued.

This was an image of one of my neighbors in the 2022 flood. He was disabled and wouldn't leave when he could. No one thought the water would get that high. I was in that house on a counter with his face sticking out of the water to breathe. That is the State police chopper, to bust the roof.

Im not good at this guys. But I am learning. Life has been hard lately. I just really don't know what to do but try to show the situation I am experiencing. Any help is greatly appreciated. It just seems like I can't find the right words. And I won't lie. I'm under alot of stress and feel.. afriad

A few photos of what happened that day. The second photo of the top of the house sticking out of the water. There was a disabled man in there when this was taken. He was on a counter with his head sticking out of the water. They barely got him out before he drown.

Feeling disheartened today. I'm working on something that will show and explain exactly what my problem is. Most people can't understand until they see it with their own eyes. I can post short clips here and there. Showing the death of my community and before and afters.

I used to make these. I can't anymore because of carpel tunnel. Can't do anything anymore. It's depressing. I'm working on making a movie. Not about this, but this is in it. I'll post it when I have it finished. It is alot of work.

The guy on the right was one of my dad's buddies. Gatewood Galbraith (I probably didn't spell that right) they wrote a message to him on the back of that picture. I found it wrapped in a letter from him after my father died.

It all feels like a nightmare, I can not wake up from. After the flood, I have nightmares about water. And hard to admit, I cry in my sleep, when I can sleep from the pain I have, I guess it has to come out, one way or another and I feel so angry all of the time. I couldn't post this on Facebook.

Something I need to say In recent years, 12 of the people I grew up with, have taken their own lives. Two weeks after someone set my home on fire. One of my 3 neighbors took his own life by gun. It was three weeks before someone stumbled across his body. He was around 20 years old. Younger than me.

Im going to change my profile pic. It is a hard decision,because I don't want people who know me, to find me. At the same time, it's hard for people who don't know you to trust when they can't see your face.
