I've been asked many times over the years about an individual wanting to check in on how someone is doing and they aren't sure what to say. They don't want to say the wrong thing, but don't know what the right thing to say is either. My answer is still the same, it doesn't have... Continue Reading →
Fighting for myself
I cried a lot today. I was overwhelmed and anxious. I felt my world shrinking around me. Even though my anxiety told me I couldn't get through the day. I did. I eventually stopped crying. Pulled myself together and kept going. I sat there and looked at how far I've come. And that right there,... Continue Reading →

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 →
A letter to my best friend
