**POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING** I've reached a point in my mental health journey where I'm DONE. I'm not saying this lightly. I'm also not saying anything to seek attention. I'm just speaking. Period. It's extremely important to be honest when discussing matters, such as this. I'm sick of people, their snide, ignorant comments, the stigma of … Continue reading Reaching Out… What A Fucking Joke

I was stupid-ish for thinking I'd be okay post-procedure. Pain that is complex, high fevers, stomach related issues, and where did all these bruises come from? Is life even worth it?

It didn’t set in until this month. The majority of my days are Groundhog Day-esque. Lather, rinse, repeat. Dull. Uninteresting. Zero challenge involved. Over time, … Continue reading This Changes Everything
