My first day of classes went super well!!! A few hiccups but I stuck with it and figured it out. I feel like I'm in the right place... of course I'm still nervous. This week will be my first full week of classes, so I'll finally be able to get into a routine again. Insomnia,... Continue Reading →
Back to school
I wrote this at 9:15 am Tomorrow is the start of a new chapter in my life. My summer job consumed most of my time and energy, so I didn't have an opportunity to think about school. Which was totally a good thing. But since work ended on Friday... I haven't stopped thinking about school... Continue Reading →
A roller coaster ride
Lately I feel like I've been on a nonstop roller coaster ride. Feeling it in my stomach and my chest. The pressure, the speed and the twists and turns. It's a ride that I can't seem to get off of. Just when I thought I had the track figured out, it has suddenly changed. I'm... Continue Reading →
Looking back at 25
My 25th year was one for the record books. I've grown so much as a person...I've overcome so many obstacles. I'd love to sit here and tell you it was always easy...that I just strolled on through. But I didn't. I fought for everything and fought for who I am today. Psychiatrist appointments, medication changes,... Continue Reading →
I wish my mental illness was visible
Today, I wish all of my anxiety was visible. I wish that everyone could see it. I wish I had a little speech bubble above my head, giving a running commentary of the thoughts going through my mind. How fast they go, how many times I tell myself the same thing, how I ignore them,... Continue Reading →
Pushing through the weekend!
Friday Anxiety started to creep in... I was leaving for the weekend to attend a country music festival. That I also attended last year. The thoughts that bounced around in my head sounded like this... "I can't do this" "I don't want to go" "I should just stay home" "I never should... Continue Reading →
Every day battle
As someone who has lived with anxiety and depression for years now, sleep is a very interesting and difficult aspect of my life. I don't know what normal sleeping habits are ... I wish I had them. I find, some nights, both my mind and my body fight the urge to fall asleep. Racing thoughts... Continue Reading →
The girl I thought I lost
I've been wanting to blog but simply couldn't get the words in my head to make sense on here. I promise to write more. Last week I saw my psychiatrist for the first time in 6 months. It was a beautiful sunny day, which I thought was rather fitting. I've been seeing my psychiatrist for... Continue Reading →
Excuses, excuses.
As a person who has general anxiety disorder and depression I find myself apologizing a lot. "Sorry I'm going to be late, I couldn't decide what to wear..." "Sorry, I don't think I can make it today. I'm having a really bad day..." "I'm so sorry I couldn't make it..." "Sorry, I'm a hot mess... Continue Reading →
A whole lot of anxiety and not enough sleep
All week I've been having really crazy dreams and even a few nightmares. I couldn't tell you how many times I woke up drenched in sweat and genuinely afraid of whatever I was dreaming about. I can't figure out why this has been going on this week but it's been draining me, mentally. I haven't... Continue Reading →
