The last time I gave an update was a little over a month ago in my reality and meds update post. Things were pretty bad around that time. I had sent a message to my doctor asking about the side effects of the medication that I was on. Unfortunately it was on a weekend so... Continue Reading →
Well, I fell off the wagon again. Originally when I started the 31 days of Halloween posts, I had every intention of posting something everyday. I was not expecting things to happen the way that they did and have felt like these Halloween posts were a deflection from my reality. So, here I am once... Continue Reading →
Well, I neglected a couple of days with my meds posts, but when you are busy with 3 kiddos that tends to happen. Not much of a change to report, I still feel pretty good mentally. I have had an annoying headache and some nausea the last 2 days, but it could be the weather... Continue Reading →

Day Seven. Practice mindfulness today. Don't focus on the past or present, draw yourself back. I know this post is late. I didn't read ahead of time what the challenge was for today since we were busy. [Happy Father's Day to all the dad's by the way]. But, had I read today's challenge, today might... Continue Reading →
Day Six. Work on coping skills you've neglected or that have grown rusty. To be honest I feel like my entire life is happening in the upside down right now. There is not one aspect of my life that is calm or to be honest, even joyful. Everything is pure chaos and I am just... Continue Reading →
