I feel like I haven't been as present on here lately. Partly because of some writer's block and partly because I have been very exhausted. My insomnia has been back for over a month now, sleeping roughly 3 to 4 hours a night but definitely not consecutively. I think it is because I have been... Continue Reading →
Day 19. CREATE A RELAXING SPACE. I had a mentally rough night last night. Followed by basically an all nighter with the baby. Long story short, I really wanted to spend the day in bed. That didn't happen though. All day I was thinking about how I could create a relaxing space and what that... Continue Reading →
Before getting to today's challenge, I thought I would share a little update from the previous days challenges. Day One talked about how I need to start going to bed instead of staying awake to do X,Y,Z. The first and second night went well, by the third night I was back to watching Ugly Betty....

Day three. What do you struggle with when it comes to your mental health and how can you get more support there? I guess for me the biggest thing I struggle with is thinking I need to suffer in silence. It actually wasn't until recently that I finally told my family how much I actually... 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 →
Another school shooting today. That is 23 this year alone where someone has been injured, or killed, while attending (or teaching) SCHOOL! Why does this keep happening?! Why are people unable to see the value of life? Why are things so bad that they think this is the only answer? I was bullied, tormented, throughout... Continue Reading →
Did you know you could have anxiety and not even know it? For several years I was having what I can only describe as minor heart attacks. My heart would be beating so hard and it would be a sharp, contraction-like, feeling. At that time, I knew anxiety was a thing, but I didn't apply... Continue Reading →
Awhile back I wrote a post called the time is now. This post was about my struggle to maintain motivation to lose weight. One of the things that I wanted to do was to create a list of the things I could do instead of impulsively making desserts to feed a craving. If you're reading this, then... Continue Reading →
