Words..
In todays world, people are constantly throwing words out there, when casually talking about mental health. I think the most common ones are the word “trigger” and the word “narcissist.” The word “trigger” is used way too loosely. And the word “narcissist” is just thrown around without any real digging into what the word or…

Growth. What is it?
Isn’t growth something we try to do everyday? Is it a mindset? Is it what we “think” we are doing, when something doesn’t work out the way we thought it should? For me, it’s all of the above. A lot of times, my growth is stunted. It’s stunted because I find myself in a rut,…

“Dear Younger Me..”
How would a conversation go with the younger version of me? What would I tell myself? What would I keep from myself? I would definitely tell myself to be more cautious with my heart, but not so cautious that I miss out on the joys of life and people. I would tell myself that I’m…

Roller Coasters!
I love a love a good coaster! My favorite are the ones with just the lap bar. When ya go up a steep hill and down another, that G-force hits and your butt comes out of the seat! Nothing quite like it. The coasters of life are much different though. Aren’t they? When we describe…

Depression/ Anxiety..
Originally, my Title… was gonna be “Tomorrow..” But today is a rough one. I attribute it to my circumstances, my exhaustion, my lack of wanting to go back to my ass of a job… and simply mental health shit. I’ve been labeled as bi polar, as I’ve mentioned previously, if you actually read all of…

To say I’m exhausted is an understatement. Mentally and physically drained. Getting in your own way, or tripping over your own feet, is not a fun game. But, it was brought to my attention today that this is what I’m completely successful at doing. I suppose I knew that, but for a licensed therapist to…

Impusle Control…
This subject has literally been on my mind all night. So much so, that I couldn’t sleep well. Something I struggle with is impulse control. It comes in many forms. It comes in the form of buying stuff before I think it through. It comes in the form of doing something for someone else that…

Just Say No!
The last year was trying for me. I’ve always been someone to throw myself onto a knife for someone else. This past year, I’ve realized just how much it cost me. It’s always cost me. But this year, has been a wake up call. I had a conversation with B last night. We’re so different…

Happy Thanksgiving!
I know, I know! It’s been awhile since I’ve tapped something out. My life is in FULL adjustment mode. The job has changed. My personal life is different. My social life is different. I am different. Its very east to say people don’t change. Most people don’t but some do. And when someone shows you…

Used to..
I used to think of myself as a people person.. Now.. I choose solitude. I used to get irritated by the littlest thing.. Now the small stuff doesn’t matter… I used to think I was ok… Now I realize I’m really not. I used to not be so self aware… Now I analyze everything about…
