We Can Do Hard Things

Yesterday, after an 11.5 year battle with extreme anxiety I decided to explore a new possibility. I had my feet dug pretty well into the ground about going on meds. As a control freak, I do not like drugs/medicine. Not knowing what the side effects will be, what it will do to my body and

Back to Therapy #40in2020

Almost 5 years ago now, I went to therapy for the first time. I was self destructing and I needed some help. After some guidance from my husband, I decided to take the leap. This continued for over a year until we moved. Everything felt much better and I didn’t seek out a new therapist.

Gone Too Soon

In honor of Memorial Day, I want to write about an old friend. Fall of 1999, it was my sophomore year of college. It was move in day at the dorms. I drove myself up to school that year, early of course. Got myself situated and waited to see who would be living in my

I haven’t done a Wellness Wednesday check in for a month now.  CRAZY.  I was busy getting ready for vacation, then on vacation and then last week trying to get out of the post vacation “let down.” This morning I decided it was important for me to check in for me and see how much

Recommit to Ourselves

How Do You Shut Out The Demons?

I found out yesterday that a friend of mine from college died.  Then I feel like a fraud for saying he’s my friend.  I haven’t seen or talked to him in over 6 years. I went straight to my photo album from college to find pictures of us together.  I had more than a couple

FBF: Therapy Yesterday

A fellow blogger brought this post to my attention this week.  She said that it somehow ended up on her blog feed, so she read it.  Then she commended me on the relationship with Jess.  Well, for those of you who are wondering, Jess and I are still good.  It has been about 9 months
