Doing What I’m Told . . . And Trusting God

I don’t even know how to begin this post. I’ve already started crying. But after talking with my therapist and psychiatrist they recommended that I write about it. So I’m going to listen and do what I’m told.   We’ve all written posts about Sandy Hook, have prayed and done random acts of kindness in [...]

3 1/2 Years . . . You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby

September marks the 3 1/2 year ‘anniversary’ of my first stay in a mental hospital. July 2013 will mark four years. Each September, as the kids start back to school I’m flooded with memories of the day I fell apart and went in that first time. I was obviously a complete mess, but I honestly [...]

Where I’ve Been

Things have been a little . . . rough. And I haven’t shared this with anybody except my husband and brother and sister in law.  (Sorry mom :/) It’s not the depression so much as a new med I tired for my anxiety and mood swings. Oh, the anxiety. So we tried a new med. [...]

The Good Life
