Love, Depression

Alright y'all. This is another one that makes me question my life choices and eternal commitment to shattering the stigma that surrounds mental illness. I think I would rather shy away and pretend like this isn't real. That I don't have this. That I do not experience this. That it is all in my head…

Therapy Matters

I think I have figured it out. I mentioned that lately, I've been feeling off. I guess that means I feel like I'm floating and am in fact, not feeling. When I do feel it is a one of overwhelm. I have been scratching my head- so to speak- racking my brain as to why…

Tunnel Vision

Life is weird. I was sitting on my couch with my head back on the cushions and hands over my eyes trying to block out the chitter-chatter happening around me and mulling over some writing topics that I wanted to share this week. I set up my Mental Health Mondays, Tuesday Re-Runs and Thursday Thoughts…

Mental Health Mondays

You know how sometimes things run their course?

Medication Confessional

Midi-Mark

Okay, some weeks I have everything written and scheduled and posted in a timely fashion and some weeks are like this week. I’m completely flustered and scattered and finally getting my 6 am Milo Monday post up 13 hours later and if I’m being honest I probably won’t get to a Tuesday post tomorrow so…

Thursday Thoughts: Sleep Matters

I have a confession that shouldn't be embarrassing but it is embarrassing. I mean I've spoken about suicidal ideation for Christ's sake but the fact that I, gulp, snore, is, to me, more intimate a reveal. But there it is. I have been living in a fog and impressing my children with my "hardcore" and…
