Another day. Another day and I feel like I’m wasting away. Another day to make you believe I’m okay. Another day to fake that smile, hide those tears, and give you what you want. I’m tired because I’m always awake. I am weak in my mind. Depression comes back to haunt me. The same black […]

When I Know I Need Space
1. My anxiety rises. I can physically feel my anxiety coursing through my veins. It’s like having this constant nervous butterflies that create knots throughout my entire body.

Where Have I Been?
Remember life? Remember how sometimes things happen unexpectedly? This seems to be happening quite a bit lately.

Zombie Run
Signing up for my first Zombie 5K Run! This is something that I have wanted to do for years, but I was either way too out of shape or having too much anxiety. Ever since I got into watching The Walking Dead (not so much anymore) I have wanted to do one of these runs. […]

I’m Happiest When…
I’m happiest when I’m writing. It gives me this chance to put all of my racing thoughts into a post. It helps my mind become clear and it gives me somewhere to put my anxiety. I think the words in my mind are better than the ones I say are just louder and have more […]

Who Didn’t Let The Dogs Out?
So you guys, do I have a tale for you… Ah, mental health, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unhappiness. As you already know. But, I decided I would do something strong and something bigger then myself and volunteer somewhere. Sounds like a good idea right? I browsed a few volunteer opportunities, specifically working with dogs because […]
