Today started out as a good day. Running is truly helping me burn off any negative energy, gives me alone time to focus on just running and the music and nothing else, and has given me feel good energy. My daughter had an award ceremony this afternoon being receiving an award for Math and the […]
Since I started running Monday I have been feeling great. I come home everyday, slip into my running clothes and head on out. I go as far as I can and then a little more each day. I actually look forward to going home because I know I get to run and have my me […]
I got the phone call today that I will be starting my new job on February 11th. I will be the Program Manager for a youth drop-in mental health facility as well as an adult therapy program. When I started in mental health almost 8 years ago this was what I set as my career […]
So my brother from another mother Kevin recommended that I try running as a way to burn off energy in order to help me sleep at nights but also to help release endorphins.

Today started out rushed as I forgot to set my alarm last night and we had a soccer game at 9:15 in the morning. Once we got on the road I grabbed Starbucks and picked some tunes to pep my daughter up. As we were driving I realized that my mind was not racing like […]

That word pretty much sums up how I am currently feeling. I woke up late because I set the wrong alarm clock. I slept like shit last night and didn’t go to bed till late. I woke up and felt hungover from my night medication. My mind was racing all morning, on my way to […]
I’m starting to wonder if my medications are not working, did I plateau, or something else because I am off. As I said in a recent post, I just feel numb. I feel like my head is moving a million miles per hour but my body cannot keep up. I decided today that I need […]
I’ve noticed that my daughter is beginning to get more anxious than she normally is. She has been the type of kid that needs to plan things out, know what is happening next, know the game plan, and to an extent be in charge/control. To kids it comes off and bossy but when I look […]
