When you spend the majority of your life a certain way, you can only assume that it is normal. It wasn't until maybe 2 years ago that I found out not everyone has experienced depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and the like. Even in hearing other people's testimony about the way their "normal" brains work, didn't... Continue Reading →
A couple months ago I received an email saying that my primary care provider was no longer going to be in practice this Summer. I literally just started seeing her this last year when my other primary doctor left the practice. Anyways, I wasn't sure what that would mean for continuing my meds, so I... Continue Reading →
I have been in the darkness this last week. In partial because of my mental illnesses, but I think the quarantined lifestyle has made matters worse.

That didn't happen though. All day I was thinking about how I could create a relaxing space and what that... Continue Reading →
Well, this isn't Christmas related, but it is important to me nonetheless. Today is my 30th birthday. 30. Wowza! Most people cringe at the idea of aging, but I personally find it beautiful. I don't usually like making a huge stink about myself, but this year I have been a tad emotional about being 30.... Continue Reading →
