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 →
Day 11. MEDITATE ON YOUR DAY. Today was definitely one for the books. Though I was very tired this morning, I found myself browsing Poshmark while laying in bed trying to muster the energy to get up.

Well, this challenge was inspired by self love and to be frank that was something I have always struggled with (if you haven't figured that one out yet). I think it started when I finally decided to take charge of myself. You see before,... Continue Reading →
I can feel the darkness approaching again. Thoughts are trying to consume me. I know when a spell is coming because I get angry, lazy, and quiet. If you haven't already, you should read my mental illness post. The littlest things can trigger me. I have to be completely self aware all of the time. It... Continue Reading →
As a mom, it is easy to put yourself last on your list of priorities. The other day I posted The Time Is Now about putting myself back in the forefront.
