I shared this because someone triggered me this morning, and all I feel is anger towards their neglect of me as a human-being. Let me rephrase that. They do not have the decency to treat me like a human-being, and I will be gaslighted for saying so. I was triggered via a threat. Growing up … Continue reading Depression Truths

Getting Honest
I was talking to my brother recently and, on occasion, he'll say something completely on point to my internal dialogue. He doesn't know he's saying something that will spark a reaction from me, but that's okay. His head is big enough. 😉 Whenever I talk to someone who genuinely knows me and knows my heart, … Continue reading Getting Honest
Current Emotions
I've been thinking and feeling nearly all of these thoughts for the past few months. I thought I'd share them since some of these are absolute gems. 💎
Another Massacre
I lack the ability to be, "nice" to idiots when it pertains to terror attacks on pretty much anyone, but especially within the Jewish community. If you're not angry today, you are part of the problem and not party to a solution. When people tell me they're scared, but aren't in the position to be … Continue reading Another Massacre
One (A-Deen)
один (1). "Overwhelmed. Disappointed. Hurt. Sadness. Grieving. Struggling. Stabbed in the back. Empty. Trapped. Darkness. Silence. Isolation, but I'm not lost. Beauty in chaos. Trying to find a way back to myself. Living in truth. Attempting to heal. Gunpowder and lead. Through authenticity; anything is possible. And yet, very few people understand that you can … Continue reading One (A-Deen)
National Friendship Day 2019
Today is #NationalFriendshipDay. Instead of tagging those I'm close to and value, I'm simply going to say I'm grateful for my REAL friends. Those who can spend hours talking to me about everything or nothing. Those who are kind, thoughtful, respectful, insightful, caring, nurturing, and who make me laugh. Those who check up on me. … Continue reading National Friendship Day 2019
Musings Credited to Insomnia, Migraines, & Humidity
As I went over the feed for this month, I noticed the photo challenge is garnering a nice amount of attention. 😊 Possibly more than the inspirational things I normally share on a semi-regular basis. 🤔 I've also noticed that, each time I'm able to write, the statistics go up even further. Mind you, I'm … Continue reading Musings Credited to Insomnia, Migraines, & Humidity
Instagram > Reality
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? I often ask myself this question. I struggle every second of every day to survive in tact. This is NOT the life I signed … Continue reading Instagram > Reality
Personal Public Service Announcement: Mother’s Day
Late-March into May is a difficult time for me. It's when my e-mail accounts (personal and professional) slowly become flooded with Mother's Day prompts. Last year, I deleted roughly sixty companies from my regular list because it was obnoxious and triggering. I wish I'd deleted more. This year, I almost certainly will do my best … Continue reading Personal Public Service Announcement: Mother’s Day
People With Anxiety
Over the past few months, despite treatment, my anxiety has gotten worse. I believe my pain getting worse is part of it, but won't know more until later on in the month. All I know in this moment is that my eye is twitching from anxiety and stress, and I've been informed my Complex-PTSD is … Continue reading People With Anxiety
