There's More to the Story: a blog about LIFE, chronic illness, and Mental Health

I’m the loud and relentless "patient" voice and advocate they warned you about. I happen to have type 1 diabetes, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues, asthma, allergies, lactose intolerance (and more), but there’s more to story.

Let’s Unplug- Study Abroad

June 30, 2013April 27, 2018 / mindybartleson / Leave a comment

This kind of describes how I feel about technology and social media now- even though I am not giving them up or anything- I cannot imagine a world without them- mostly because- I like blogging and keeping in touch with far away friends. “Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing video displays, … Continue reading Let’s Unplug- Study Abroad
