I keep asking myself when a day won't feel, "rough", "tough", "heartbreaking", "emotionally taxing", "lonely", or "deeply upsetting". The fact of the matter is, as someone who rarely cries, I've been an emotional tornado. I've cried so much over the past few days, and that only angers me. In the past week I've nearly hyperventilated … Continue reading Current Mood > Assumptions

World Mental Health Day 2020
Today is World Mental Health Day, and as someone who discusses mental health throughout the course of the year, I come up short today. I come up short because I am dealing with my own battles, and they have been cruel to me. Hell, so have the people who are supposed to be "on my … Continue reading World Mental Health Day 2020
October
This is my favorite season and favorite time of year, but after an emotional, rage-filled moment yesterday, I am questioning EVERYTHING in my life. To be fair to myself, I reacted via a triggering comment made to me, and new medication that, without my knowing in advance, causes people to occasionally react in a volatile … Continue reading October

I won't lie; having experience helped. Having confidence helped even more. In no way was I "just … Continue reading Ignoring The Crossroads
June
Thus far, 2020 has not gone anywhere near as planned. If you've felt that way, too, then you are most assuredly not alone. The reality that it's June is daunting. I still have moments where each day blends into the next. It's a gorgeous 58 degrees here and that's not common at this stage of … Continue reading June
Telehealth and A Scheduled Appointment
After a failed attempt last month to have a discussion with my headache specialist regarding my migraines getting worse, today was my first successful Telehealth discussion, and it felt good. Really good. If you have a doctor who actually cares, regardless of their field, this is not a difficult process. However, it has lead me … Continue reading Telehealth and A Scheduled Appointment
Not My Vibe, Not My Tribe
"Politeness is wiped clean. Good manners; washed away with the high tide. When you allow anger to fuel you, it is YOU who #LevelsUp. It is you who says, "Fuck you." to those who hate you because of how strongly others love you. It is you who doesn't become ugly, bitter, cruel, evil, hateful, or … Continue reading Not My Vibe, Not My Tribe
