Words..
In todays world, people are constantly throwing words out there, when casually talking about mental health. I think the most common ones are the word “trigger” and the word “narcissist.” The word “trigger” is used way too loosely. And the word “narcissist” is just thrown around without any real digging into what the word or…

Growth. What is it?
Isn’t growth something we try to do everyday? Is it a mindset? Is it what we “think” we are doing, when something doesn’t work out the way we thought it should? For me, it’s all of the above. A lot of times, my growth is stunted. It’s stunted because I find myself in a rut,…

“Dear Younger Me..”
How would a conversation go with the younger version of me? What would I tell myself? What would I keep from myself? I would definitely tell myself to be more cautious with my heart, but not so cautious that I miss out on the joys of life and people. I would tell myself that I’m…

Roller Coasters!
I love a love a good coaster! My favorite are the ones with just the lap bar. When ya go up a steep hill and down another, that G-force hits and your butt comes out of the seat! Nothing quite like it. The coasters of life are much different though. Aren’t they? When we describe…

Depression/ Anxiety..
Originally, my Title… was gonna be “Tomorrow..” But today is a rough one. I attribute it to my circumstances, my exhaustion, my lack of wanting to go back to my ass of a job… and simply mental health shit. I’ve been labeled as bi polar, as I’ve mentioned previously, if you actually read all of…

Yesterday…
It’s easy to live in yesterday.. We all do it. We live in our pasts, we hold other people accountable for their pasts.. and make them live in their pasts. Mostly, I think we all have a problem forgiving ourselves of the past. Orrrrr… maybe that’s just me. I beat myself up more than anyone…

Today…
To say I’m exhausted is an understatement. Mentally and physically drained. Getting in your own way, or tripping over your own feet, is not a fun game. But, it was brought to my attention today that this is what I’m completely successful at doing. I suppose I knew that, but for a licensed therapist to…

Control…
Today, I heard some stuff that was meant for me. (I’m sure other people felt that way too.) Let me see if I can explain the way my mind works. On one hand, I hate to relinquish control. On the other, I’m almost relieved to do so. Lack of control creates anxiety for me, and…

“Sometimes recovery turns into relapse…”
I heard that song lyric today, and it hit me right in the gut. I didn’t pay much attention to the rest of the song… but oh boy, that lyric. I am in recovery. Not from any addiction, thankfully. At least not of substance. I’m in recovery from myself and have been for quite some…

Depression…
I’ve been diagnosed with Bi-polar. It’s no surprise, since my father is extremely bi-polar. I always find myself more on the manic side, however when something crashes in my life, and I experience grief, I get low. LOW, LOW! I don’t sleep well or I sleep all day with the help of sleeping meds, I…
