I've always been an emotional person and I wear my heart on my sleeve. Today was not a good day. I tossed and turned most of the night and didn't really get any sleep. I had good moments today but because I didn't sleep my anxiety was really high. Ugh anxiety. I've been stuck in... Continue Reading →
I use country music to cope
I'm sitting here listening to Darius Rucker's song, titled "If I told you". If you haven't listened to it, I suggest you do. The first time I heard it, it immediately became a favourite of mine. I love the lyrics and the way they speak to me. I've lost my faith so many times...depression and... Continue Reading →

And I would do anything to take the pain of dealing with both away from her. I'd never wish anxiety or depression on anyone and so... Continue Reading →
Thoughts I can’t escape
Thoughts I'm having trouble with today... Today, I've had one of the worst migraines I've ever had. Which has caused me to hide in the dark and sleep most of the day away. I had to back out of dinner plans I made with a very awesome group of friends. And now I can't help... Continue Reading →

To the person who told me I should stop watching Law and Order, Criminal Minds or any sort of "crime related" TV show because it makes me depressed. To the person who told me I shouldn't be so emotional all the time. To the person who told me that having a mental illness is a... Continue Reading →
A girl and her dog.
After a very long and emotional day all I wanted to do was sleep. But my mind had other plans. Lexi also had other plans...she wouldn't leave me alone. I was all set for a great nights sleep. I had my pillow and weighted blanket. I put lavender oil in my diffuser and I was... Continue Reading →
Anxiety beat me today.
I hate anxiety. I was greeted with it this morning and I couldn't fight it today. Next thing I knew I had tears streaming down my face, and was shaking. My breathing had quickened and my heart was beating so fast. It had been the first attack I've had in a few months and it completely... Continue Reading →
