Welcome to my REAL world
5 years ago today, I made a terrible decision to try and end my life. I recklessly abused my prescribed medication which resulted in my 7-day stay in the psychiatric unit. I was so mentally unstable that that wasn’t even the first time but it was the closest I’d ever gotten to succeeding. I can [...]
As human beings, we are hardwired to automatically think about survival mode. We naturally want to make sure everything is “perfect”, and this can affect our mental health and the way that we think. Whether it be that you have a demanding job and you must satisfy your deadlines, you’re a busy parent trying to [...]
Have you ever woken up and found that you were immediately triggered? Did you let that emotion dictate the rest of your day? I have and let me tell you… IT'S NOT WORTH IT. What I really needed to do was find a more productive way to carry on with my thoughts. Gratitude is an [...]
@peddytommy on Instagram Have you ever wondered why your dearest friend might be avoiding you? Or have you ever been in a situation where you felt guilted into hanging out with someone or doing something? I know I have, and I want to talk about it. Now, if you can't already tell where I’m going [...]
Having a not-so-pleasant day? One of those days where your mind is running a million miles a minute and the tears won't stop rolling down your cheek. I’ve been there too many times to count. I've recently learned about this new Crisis Text Line that I just had to share with everyone. We live in [...]
3:54 pm August 23, 2022 These days it seems as if almost nothing has a purpose. I have no plan, or even if I do, I don’t follow through with it. There’s been ups and a lot of downs. But believe me, if you’ve seen the smile on my face, you’d have no idea. I’m [...]
Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! You know, the one where I write about mental health, lifestyle, and motherhood. I feel like I totally slacked on the mental health part. That’s what I built this blog on! I’ll never forget it. So I wanted my (technically) first post back to reflect that. In [...]
Have you ever had someone try and tell you what you were feeling was wrong? Or has someone ever tried to tell you how to feel? It’s happened to me and yes, you guessed it. I effing hate it (is this a rant now?). It’s usually the people who are so sure of themselves or [...]
Let’s be real, I lost it a long time ago (hence the making of this blog). If you aren’t familiar with my story and the main reasoning for my blog, I’ll give you just a little bit of info. A few years ago I was diagnosed with severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It was a [...]
This time of year is meant to be filled with joy but not for all. This can actually be the hardest time of year for some. I would be lying if I said I’ve had the perfect Christmas each year. Last year on Christmas, I had a major episode that resulted in self-harm. I was [...]
