Feeling Off

Recently I have noticed that my mind is racing, I feel the anger inside me like I am going to burst, I feel depressed, and my sleeping has been off. I am not too sure what is going on. Are my meds not working? Do I have stress that I am not realizing in regards […]

Changes

I’ve been the type of person that does not necessarily like change. I like changing the layout of furniture in my house, the decor, cars and my personal style. But changing jobs and leaving something I truly love is very hard for me. Shoot, it’s probably hard for most people regardless of their mental well-being. […]

Progress

The holidays came and they brought with them happiness. I was excited to watch our girls open their gifts and I was excited to see our family and friends. I took some additional time off of work to spend time with the girls and hang out and play with all the new stuff and purge […]

So this is what it feels like

My friend had warned me about blowing money and to be careful. I was the thrifty one in the family and soon found myself blowing money left and right. Now, it was Christmas shopping season but I went above and beyond. Our youngest daughter had been asking for a dirt bike for some time now […]

Gotta make that money

My next hurdle was knowing that I had to go back to work at some point. Now work was not the complete cause of everything that happened but it was the final straw that broke this camels back. Me holding everything in for all of these years along with the pressures of life and the […]

Interacting with people is something I took baby steps into because in all honesty…it scared the shit out of me. Now that everyone knows what I have been through and how close I was to ending it all, I kind of felt like everyone was looking at me and felt sorry for me. I also […]

Flash Forward

All my previous posts have dated back to the end of 2017 from when everything began. But today I come to you live at 10:22 am on January 11, 2019 from my office. I am back at work and have been since December 10th. I have had many good days with a few bad days […]

Progress

I started to do more to get back into the swing of things. I made sure laundry was done, house was cleaned (because it needed to not because I was using it as a stress reliever), I worked out in the yard and I spent time hanging out on the couch watching movies. But with […]

Moving On

Those next few days were all new territory for me. After reading my last post you would think everything was honky dory and I lived happily ever after. I was thankful for the new start but now I had to figure everything out all over again. I had to be vocal about my feelings with […]

Day 1

That night I slept the best I have ever slept in god knows how long. I awoke and felt relief, less stress, less tension and with the knowledge I have been given a second chance. I learned through this whole “ordeal” that I need to be more honest with myself, my husband, my family and […]
