I’m sitting here staring at my computer screen, trying to figure out how to untangle the thoughts I have. I feel like I have so much to say but where do I start? Do I start with something I’ve been struggling with for months, something I love that seems to now be too much for... Continue Reading →
Reflecting, Remembering and Conquering
10 years. I've been living with depression and anxiety for 10 years. I was diagnosed in high school and back then I had no idea what it meant. Since 2016 I've been living with more anxiety than anything else. Debilitating anxiety unlike anything I had experienced before. When my family doctor told me, he was... Continue Reading →
Chaos, Risk & Reward
I know it’s been awhile and a lot has happened. I’ve only told a few of my closest friends what happened and my family of course. But I’m ready now to talk about it here. A week ago, today my world was rocked. It felt like a typical Friday morning, and then I got the... Continue Reading →
I’m still here
You know what's hard? Telling yourself to keep going even after another setback has come into your path. Another roadblock to defer you into the unknown. After facing roadblocks and setbacks you find yourself wandering alone looking for those who said they'd never leave you alone in the dark. But time has passed and they've... Continue Reading →
Selflove and a nonstop fight
Living with anxiety I find myself apologizing for being the way I am or the way I do things. Today, is a perfect example. I texted my mom apologizing for being "a lot lately" while dealing with my concussion and everything that came with it. I've been through a lot since June, and I've been... Continue Reading →
It’s all in my head
I wish I could say it's been easy. I wish I could say I had it all figured out. But living with post-concussion syndrome, on top of my anxiety and depression, OH and the holidays...has kicked my butt. Every day I wake up, not knowing if I'll be dealing with an all-day headache, or if... Continue Reading →
Stuck in a Fog
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 →
