Today, I’m tired. I’m emotionally drained. I’m not even sure I’m capable of writing this today, but I need to do something. It has been an awful, horrible, no good day. But I’m surviving. I’m surviving because I’ve developed coping mechanisms. Not that I don’t occasionally delve into the abyss of unhealthy coping mechanisms suchContinue reading “learn to cope”

So, I’m about halfway through a bottle of Shiraz, so obviously I need to post something online. That sounds smart. Yes, I drink while on Lexapro. Shut up. My husband and I fought today. Well, we did what counts as a fight after a decade of marriage. We said a few things with attitude, andContinue reading

I’ve done a little under an hour. That’s terrible. This is going to take forever, apparently, but that’s ok. I find it increasingly difficult to find the time and energy to concentrate long enough to “study” hockey. As a stay at home mother of three, my job is pretty much from the time I wakeContinue reading “from the trenches”

Apparently my posts are getting farther and farther apart. I don’t mean to, but I’m struggling. I do appreciate having a place to release the full aspect of my depression, so I’m trying to take advantage of it. Firstly, I am exhausted. The physical toll of my illness is in full swing. Nothing is enjoyableContinue reading “money doesn’t buy much”

Listen. I am not exaggerating when I say I have wild kids. Listen to any episode of Sharts and Giggles on the internet, and see that my kids are about two degrees below hers. One has ADHD. One feeds off the one with ADHD. And the baby finds the loudest thing he can do andContinue reading “Minding your business is free”

It’s been a few days since I last posted. I’m going to be honest, I’m only about 20 minutes in to my ten thousand hours. I’m having some seriously bad days. I’m still on my medicine, no worries. I still have bad days on my medicine, they’re just less intense and broken up by moreContinue reading

I realize my last post made my husband sound slightly like a Disney villain. This is so NOT the case. He is amazing and wonderful and everything good about life. We just had a few years of not being able to grow at the same time, and it caused problems. When we first met, andContinue reading “Super Hubby”

Can I just say how much I appreciate my medication? It’s not perfect, and I still have bad days, but I am more able to rebound from a bad day and enjoy myself. Last night was one of those times. I had a pretty rough morning. I was stressed about medicine, the baby had barelyContinue reading “are you drunk?”

Today is much less sugary. I’m still on my medicine, don’t worry. Today had just been hard. Mondays normally are for me. It’s super cliche isn’t it? It’s true, though. I rely on my husband for happiness much more than I should. Even when he’s being super annoying (always) he makes me feel happier byContinue reading “Monday Blues”

And today, ladies and gentlemen, life was viewed through the sugary haze of lexapro. Yes, I am back on my medicine. I started back a few weeks ago after having not made time to renew my prescription during our move and transition leave. It finally has hit my system again, and I’m feeling great forContinue reading “Mother-Son-Day Sunday”
