    I’m Struggling With My Inner Demons

  • Importance of Self Care

      I really like to talk to anyone who talks to me about anything related to their mental health about how important self care is.  It is vitally important to us all no matter who we are and what we face.  I think it is especially important for those of us dealing with mental illnesses. […]

  • 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 […]

  • My Anxious Day During A Pandemic

  • 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 […]

  • The Bully Inside My Mind

    We hear a lot these days about bullying. The majority of it pertains to school age kids or online bullying. Bullying is not a new concept by any means but in further years past it was more of a “hush hush” or taboo subject. It was almost normal to “tease” others. I was definitely bullied […]
