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…

Troll Whisperer
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…
Inklings
"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 feel like that summarizes my mental health journey so beautifully. I was hoping I would be able to tie that in with…
Love, PTSD
In lieu of a Re-run Tuesday, I'm posting about something that strips away my layers and makes me feel raw and vulnerable. I’m working on embracing these feelings and so even though all the alarms are sounding off in my head to keep quiet, I’m not going to. I have a feeling that a few…
Staying in Lanes
I finally made it to counseling last week. I was telling my counselor how I essentially fall off my rocker if I go too long between therapy sessions and she said that I am not the only one with that experience. She said that she likes to think of counseling as a dock that allows…
Thirty-Ducking-Eight
You know what, I haven't had a reason to take a selfie since I stopped posting on social media. But I'm taking one today because I’m having a good hair day and what better reason to shoot a selfie than when you’re experiencing your best self. Anyway, today I’m thinking about the fact that I'm…
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…
Plugging Away
I tried guys. I really tried. I tried to squeeze in a Mental Health Monday post but the gods would not allow it. Yesterday had more tasks and responsibilities than it did time and energy. So I took the pressure off and said "fuck it. I'll try again tomorrow." And now it's tomorrow and I…
Smoking Gun
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…
