    Getting My Blog Life Together

      I probably should get my life together and write some more blog posts. I probably should put all these ideas in my head and all these random Facebook musings into blog posts. It’s no wonder I haven’t grown my blog any more than I have. My ideas are plenty but the follow-through is entirely…

  • I’m Struggling With My Inner Demons

    I’m Struggling With My Inner Demons

    I felt like I needed to sit down and write in hopes that it would help me get through some of what I am going through. It is the holidays and I am dealing with my inner demons. Seasonal depression always gets me this time of year. It is very common for those of us…

  • I Found a Lump

      First off I will admit that I have not been good about scheduling my yearly mammograms.  In fact, I have only had one done at the age of 48, well two now.  I did not regularly check my breasts via self examination.  Life gets busy and I just didn’t do it.  On May 11,…

  • I Feel So Broken Inside

    I really hate my anxiety and depression.  I feel like I am always in battle.  I never know when each of these mental illnesses or both of them are going to want to take me down.  I feel so broken inside and like I am fighting a battle I just can’t win. Today started out…

  • Would They Notice Me If I Was Gone?

  • My Anxious Mind Amidst This Pandemic

    This whole Coronavirus pandemic is a really big deal.  It is enough to induce scare and anxiety in anyone.  For those of us without anxiety as a mental illness it is amplified.  I find myself worrying about just about everything at some point and time.  I have moments of pure sanity and moments where I…

  • Am I Done With Facebook?

    A few days ago a feeling swept over me while I was in the middle of one of my anxiety attacks.  I have been having a lot of issues with my mental health lately.  My anxiety seems to be at its highest in a long time if not the highest ever.  My depression has had…

  • I Can’t Do This Anymore

    There are some words that I say to myself and even out loud all too often.  They are words that frighten me when I hear someone else say them.  They even frighten me a little when I realize I have said them myself.  They are the words “I can’t do this anymore”.  To some they…

  • My Struggle With Mental Illness As A Youth

    When did my depression and anxiety start is something I get asked quite often when someone finds out about my mental illness and gets close enough to me to want to ask.  I never know what to say because I never sought help until I was the age of 28 finding myself going through a…
