See what I did there.. worked real hard on that title. I wanted to blog about this because I generally have in the past when I try something new for my depression, so I didn’t wanna discriminate. My friend volunteers for a group where they raise money for veterans to be able to afford a Read More

Grinchmas and Welcoming 2023 with Open Arms
So, I’m definitely feeling a little grinchy this year. I used to SHIT Christmas out the ass, and December 24th was my favorite day of the year. But.. the last few years have been rough. There are so many amazing things happening in my life, but there’s SO much of it that my level of Read More
Not dead yet
Yes, this is another song about depression. But, I promise if there’s ever one that’s worth reading, it’s this one. I was introduced to this song recently on a whim, then proceeded to listen to it on repeat for an excessive period of time. I’ll stop here and continue after the lyrics. (Song and lyrics Read More
A Week (and a half) in the Life
Every time I log back into this site, and I read the post I wrote just prior to the one I’m about to write, it’s absolutely comical. One of my doctors has me take note of how I’m feeling between appointments, so I write everything down because it all just blends together. After being baffled Read More
That’s a Good Day
Being severely depressed means that my good day is a most likely a complete 180 than what yours is. The days I don’t have a single suicidal thought.. that’s a good day.

Oh, she’s sweet, but a psycho
I said I would write because I was informed I hadn’t blabbed in a while, so I am. It’s been months, per my usual trend of on and off; and again, I’m not sure where to start. I read my previous post before I started this one, and holy fuck, how much has changed. I Read More
Can’t read my, can’t read my, no, you can’t read my poker face
I don’t even like Lady Gaga. I don’t wanna say it’s half the battle, but definitely a good chunk of dealing with mental illness is maintaining a poker face. Granted, I’ve become a lot more open about my shit in the last few months and willing to talk to anyone that wants advice or help.. Read More
Zero to sixty.
[Just sitting here, I feel like I’m going 100 mph.. so much so that I’m not really sure where to start. Can you get writer’s block with feelings? That’s probably what this is.] So that part above.. I wrote last night after therapy. I decided to come home, NOT make a drink, and just write.. Read More
The Oxymoron that is High Functioning Depression
So this kinda started with me taking off work today. I get sick days, and my inability to get up, crying through trying to repeatedly do my makeup, and then realizing I can’t get out of bed today.. is an illness. It wasn’t until a co-worker made a comment that made everything I had been Read More
Mood.
When you didn’t worry about your parents getting older.. just hated them for making you put away your shit When you were too young to know what depression was and how fucking hard it was about to come at you When days on the beach wasn’t something you needed to save up vacation days for Read More
