There is nothing wrong with admitting you have a problem. Nor is there anything wrong with seeking help.

quick ramble

Hello friends, It's been a while, hasn't it? That's my fault. I've been in quite an emotional whirlwind these past few months and I'm only now trying to climb out of the pit I've been in. Things were less than great for me for a bit. I'm still not ready to tell the internet fully … Continue reading quick ramble →

Day 413: Not ok

I think I've reached a new limit. The point at which i feel like I'm going to crack up. The point at which i feel like my chest will explode if I don't do something. The point when nothing I've tried before works. The point where I know i shouldn't be. It's scary. But I, … Continue reading Day 413: Not ok →

Depression is a weird thing. It manifests in so many ways. There's the common symptoms: Lack of energy, lack of intrest, lethargy, lack of focus.

Day 261: Backbone

I'm glad my husband isn't an asshole. Not that he can't be. He just isn't when I need support. He's wonderful about being my biggest cheerleader apart from my mother.

Day 193: Clarity

I tried to meditate again. I used to when I was younger but I don't think it really helped me then. Trying to find some focus felt like something I needed to do. Instead of feeling focused and relieved, my mind proceeded to remind me of every bit of frustration than I've been feeling over … Continue reading Day 193: Clarity →

Day 57: Reflection

If anyone tells you depression is fake or easy to deal with, you should question their sanity. It's the hardest thing about my life. Having to make the conscious decision to keep going. Not daily. Sometimes hourly. Sometimes minute by minute. I have to keep trying to put one foot in front of the other … Continue reading Day 57: Reflection →

Day 51: Nastyjazz

It never fails to amaze me that there are still so many people in the world that like to ruin other people's good times. It's wild. Whether its in the form of religious persecution or just ugly internet comments, people are determined to have an unnecessary amount of control over others. It really comes out on days like … Continue reading Day 51: Nastyjazz →
