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 [...]
Hello there everyone, I hope all is well! For the past couple of months, one of my guilty pleasures has been fortune cookies.

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 [...]
Good morning everyone, and it is indeed a good one if you’re reading this! To see another day is a blessing and it’s something I took for granted a few times in the past. How we’re feeling on the inside may not always match how we carry ourselves on the outside. That’s kind of the [...]
Hellllllllo there, everyone! It’s been quite some time since my last real post. I hope everyone has been and still is doing well. What’s new with everyone? I know I have so much to catch up on but one day at a time has been my motto. Y’all, I couldn’t name this post “I’m back” [...]
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 [...]
