Here’s what my day looks like lately. I wake up around 7:30am exhausted because I don’t sleep well at night because I’m 8 months pregnant and I have to pee every hour and I have heartburn and a head cold and I’m just overall pretty uncomfortable. I have crazy pregnancy dreams and I’m always runningContinue reading “The Paralyzing Problem of Free Time”

The Severed Arm
I’ve gotten hooked on the show, Ginny & Georgia. It’s a dramedy about a young, single mother named Georgia and her two kids who make the move to a small, wealthy town in New England and try to make a fresh start. In a nutshell, Georgia’s got a lot of big secrets. Ginny, her teenagerContinue reading “The Severed Arm”
Is It Depression?
I have a lot of experience with anxiety. Way too much experience with anxiety. When my anxiety was at its peak, I can remember feeling a deep discouragement down in my soul, and maybe a form of depression but I can’t be totally sure. I want to say that what I was feeling was mostContinue reading “Is It Depression?”
Always Something
I recently watched the series, Beef, on Netflix. If I had to categorize it I’d say it’s a dark comedy/dramedy. There are some silly moments, some violent moments, some ridiculous moments, and some heartfelt moments. It’s a story about two people involved in a “road rage” incident that becomes the catalyst to an unraveling ofContinue reading “Always Something”
It’s an Illusion
My husband and I honeymooned in Greece after our wedding. Greece was spectacular – the calm, azure waters, the craggy cliffs, the blue and white buildings dotting the landscape, the ancient ruins reminding visitors of the deep, rich history of the land and all those who came before. Not to mention the incredible food andContinue reading “It’s an Illusion”
I Remembered
My anxiety had been so severe for so long that when I finally started to feel better it was…strange. I had forgotten what it felt like to feel normal. I had felt poorly for so long. It was something I lived with every day and, yes, I was coping, and actually convincing myself that thisContinue reading “I Remembered”
A Tough Decision
I thought the toughest decision I’d ever make was the decision to become a mother or not. My husband and I were married for 10 years before we finally decided to try and I wasn’t even certain how easy getting pregnant would be for me. Turns out, very easy. I went off the pill andContinue reading “A Tough Decision”
I feel…weird
I remember it. I was taking a test and all of a sudden the room just felt too quiet and my thoughts sounded too loud and I felt like my brain was shouting at me, sort of. I remember it. I was talking on the phone and all of a sudden the conversation sounded moreContinue reading “I feel…weird”
The Game Changer(s)
In the last 2-3 years my anxiety has improved tremendously. Anxiety and I, well, we’ve known each other for a long time. It’s been a life-long journey, with battles throughout, but the time period between 2011-2020 was probably the toughest for me. 2011-2013 were almost unbearable. Then, things improved, but I still really struggled. IContinue reading “The Game Changer(s)”
When I Fell Apart
Just like anyone who’s ever lived, I’ve had my share of struggles. Most of mine, maybe all of mine, have fear at the root of them. It’s always been the thorn in my side and there have been periods of my life where fear and anxiety have lain dormant and other times where they’ve comeContinue reading “When I Fell Apart”
