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…

I wrote this post about a month ago but never got around to editing and finalizing it within a timely fashion of the world's latest crisis. It has sat in my drafts folder ever since. I've been contemplating waiting for the next crisis to reveal itself before posting this but then thought fuck that. For…
Well today's post is going to be super short and semi sweet. Well I don't know about the sweet part but I liked the sound of all the s's together. It will also be full of 'tense hopping' because I can't seem to figure out if loss is past or present and if grief is…

Alright, this post is half serious and half giving a finger to the haters. I'm gonna go ahead and make it weird by doing a little Q&A about me by me. Is everyone going to get on board with mental health? No. Is everyone going to understand invisible illnesses? Of course not. Does that bother…

"Biblical hope and practical help." I read that today on the back of a pocket-sized devotional my counselor recommended and if isn’t just so damn powerful then I don’t know what is.

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…

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…

I am gonna use an analogy here and the analogy is between cigarettes and social media. I know it sounds like it's gonna be weird but I think that it's gonna make sense. Bear with me as I fumble through this one and start with, you guessed it, a quick backstory: I used to ask…

One of the ways I honor my mental health is by resting. I mean could I say that I am a rest advocate again for the cheap seats in the back? Anyway. This week we are taking an actual spring break in an actual different state so I’m going to put this blog on vacation…
