Depression Truths

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

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.

Mind you, I'm … Continue reading Musings Credited to Insomnia, Migraines, & Humidity

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
