Lately I've been bombarded with anxiety, unwanted thoughts, on-coming depression, freaking out about health issues and what feels like 50-million other things. That's what having anxiety and depression can feel like. I need to continue to sleep less (yeah, I've sucked at it since the police report) I need to be doing cleaning - laundry, … Continue reading Time For Some Self Care
This past weekend my hubby and I took a day trip to a local park and did a little hiking. I haven't done as much walking this summer as I would have liked. It's been hot and I've been unmotivated. Sometimes self care is getting out there and doing things you don't care to do. … Continue reading Weekend Self Care
Music. I love music and it has been a major part of my healing journey. Songs and lyrics have a way of touching my heart in ways that other things just can't. I met Jenn Bostic several years back when I attended a local concert that supported my job. Her music and her personality just … Continue reading How Meeting Jenn Bostic Changed My Life

To those I have hurt and lost along the way, this letter is for you. I wish … Continue reading Open Letter To The Best Friend I Lost
Last night I started my new dosage of my seroquel decrease. I'm a little nervous but excited at the same time. I won't know how I can do in less medication unless I try. And if I start to fall I know I can call people right away before things get worse Thank you Mariska … Continue reading Medication Change Part 2
My husband and I decided to spend this hot summer Sunday at the county park! It was a great day of self care!!! I even spotted a butterfly! It's so nice to just sit back and enjoy life! Hope you enjoy the pictures from our day!
I saw my psych med person earlier this week. I told her how I feel I've been overly medicated and was finally honest about how much I was really sleeping because of my medication cocktail. I also told her how amazing it is to feel slightly human again. It's hard to explain the foggy/groggy feeling … Continue reading Got Meds? Medication Change Update
This week in my support group we were asked to pick butterflies that we felt described us. I picked the word Fearless because that describes me well. I also picked the words Deserving, Good and Worthy. I am slowly realizing my worth. I'm working on taking "bad" out of my vocabulary. And I am starting … Continue reading Butterfly Notes
“Being fearless means busting down those walls of fear and being who you are, not who someone else thinks you are. People like to put others in a box and tell them what they can and cannot do or who they can and cannot be. No one can tell you who you are and what … Continue reading Being Fearless Means Busting Down Those Walls Of Fear
Hey guys! Thought I’d give a little update on my medication situation. I’ve been on a slightly lower dosage of the seroquel and wow - what a difference! The drowsy, hung over feeling is pretty much gone, however that means I don’t sleep as well at night because the drug doesn’t complete knock me out. … Continue reading Medication Change Update
