So, because I apparently don’t have enough going on inside my head, life decided I needed to experience a concussion too. I’ve been dealing with it and all that comes with it for 3 weeks now. The pounding constant headache, sensitivity to sound and light at times and inability to concentrate was beyond anything I... Continue Reading →
Irreplaceable
When you think of the word replaceable, what comes to mind? Batteries, light bulbs…things that no longer work but can be replaced with another or newer model. My anxiety tries to tell me that I’m replaceable. That I’m not good enough. Some days are better than others, I can conquer them. I believe in myself... Continue Reading →
Straight up panic
It’s Wednesday, and to say this week has been a struggle, would be a huge understatement. Although today is the first day since Saturday that I haven’t cried…but I usually cry while writing. So here, goes nothing. I don’t know if it’s been the time change, the full moon, the snow…but I haven’t been myself.... Continue Reading →
Anxiety Hangover
An anxiety hangover. I've had one all day long. It's like a hangover but not from alcohol. I had a panic attack last night. I woke up this morning and wasn't sure what day it was or where I was. Then realized it was Sunday and I was at home. And then the aches and... Continue Reading →
Another day, another battle.
Most days I can own my anxiety. I know how it works, the tricks it plays. I know how to deal with it. But today was not one of those days. I brushed it off, pushed it aside until I was in a place where I could let it all out. Once the tears started,... Continue Reading →

Every time I blog, I’m opening myself up to be vulnerable. Every time I tell someone about my mental illness, I’m showing them a vulnerable part of me. I’ve been told I can hide it well, that people would never have guessed that I live with a mental illness. Because I’ve learned over the years... Continue Reading →
A decision to be made
I’ve come to a fork in the road. I’m at a crossroad in my journey. And I don’t know what to do…do I turn around, do I go left, right, up, or down….? I fight my own mind every day. Constantly dealing with and sorting through anxiety ridden thoughts and feelings. Remembering what is real... Continue Reading →
An Uphill Battle
Medication changes are hard. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through in my life, and I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve done it now. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and depression 10 years ago. That fact right there, just boggles my mind…it feels like just yesterday... Continue Reading →
A Blessing and a Curse
*Medication update...the newest one, didn't work. So now I'm currently coming off that medication, under my psychiatrist's supervision and will be starting a new medication in 4 days. Let me tell you that I cannot wait to have this drug out of my system. I've been battling feeling lightheaded, dizzy, nausea, more depressed, irritable and... Continue Reading →
Heart & Mind on the Mend
Medication changes are never fun, but my psychiatrist and I came up with a plan to conquer the latest change I was going to go through. Two weeks of weaning myself off of my old medication by decreasing the dosage each week. Last week was the start of the new medication, with the smallest dosage.... Continue Reading →
