Hold on a second while I gather my thoughts... I apologize in advance if this is jumpy, but I just feel compelled to write this out. For the last 2 weeks, consistently, I have felt a sense of urgency. Like there is something missing in my life. It used to be this feeling when I... Continue Reading →
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.

Day 24. DO NOTHING. TODAY IS YOUR DAY TO BE STILL, YOU DESERVE IT. You are absolutely right, I did deserve it! I basically kept myself and the kids alive today.

For many years now (specifically 8 years), I have been dealing with this on-going drama on my husband's side of the family. More specifically, with his brother and his brother's wife. I have thought... Continue Reading →
This post was sparked by hearing about the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. I do not keep up with the news much anymore because of the negativity and anxiety it tends to give me. I happened to see a post on my Facebook newsfeed today for a suicide hotline. The post talked about... Continue Reading →
Once again I am facing a dilemma. It is hard to choose a side because neither side feels like the right one. I'm the type of person that will try to find alternate ways to do something.
