It’s been a rocky couple of weeks. I’ve covered it with toddler stories, husband antics, and hours of Pinning. Mentally I had no idea what was going on and, honestly, I don’t think my doctor did (does) either. There was a trip to the ER, an incredibly sexy rash (not the herps, relax), and new…

There in the Quiet
The lights have gone out. Once my eyes adjust I will find a wall. I’m going to sit for awhile, there in the quiet, and let my anxiety calm. Sink into my sadness. I won’t fight right away. It’s comfortable there in the dark. But, when I’m ready I’ll slide my hand along the wall…
An Open Letter to a Bitch
I wrote this, along with several other posts, on Monday, June 18, while in what I would discover was the worst mania I have ever experienced. My anxiety was very high, I was irritable, hadn’t slept enough for days, was making irrational decisions, and had a hard time concentrating. I found writing was the only…
Are You Worried?
Does it scare you. When her face contorts and her eyes look lost? When her smile fades and she stares off past you, into a world you aren’t invited; one of dark shadows, ugly thoughts, and nightmares? Do you get angry? As she screams in your face. Because her anxiety has taken control and you’re…
A Wonderful Shift
There’s been a shift. Instead of deep despair, confusion, and the fear of never returning to myself; I feel waves of warmth and love, comfort and confidence, and a connection to my daughter I didn’t think was possible. Inside the darkness, I could see my girl in the distance. I could make out the outline…
We Are Listening
You know those days? Of course you do. Because we all have them. THOSE DAYS. Thing is…. When you start to have THOSE DAYS more than HEY! ALRIGHT DAY! Then it might be time to reach out. Time to talk to someone. Asking for help isn’t easy. I know. Talking about feelings can feel vulnerable…
Just a Bad Day
Even when the fog of depression has lifted, and a refreshing light come’s bursting into your heart, there can still be those days. The ones that kinda suck. Not depression, just a crappy day. But they’re the scary ones. What if it’s back? Am I going to be sad and “sick” again? Those are the…
Pin ItHard to Open
After pulling my crazy self into the doctor I have now been instructed to try a new cocktail of meds. I’m a fan of meds. But more the morphine, hallucinogenic, seeing unicorns and Jack Tripper kind. Not the “you’re crazy” kind. Also? The bottles are hard to open. Some days I feel like I could…
My Shadow
Brian has been laid off since before Christmas. This was a blessing in disguise because it allowed him to stay home with our daughter when we lost our spot in daycare until April, and our subsidy was cut. Since then Brian and our little girl have been spending every day together, crafting, exploring, joining a…
