The Other Me

It's poetry time! Hello, and I hope you are doing great! I'm sitting here with my cats and my loyal dog, Annie, reading poetry from other authors. She follows me around the house wherever I go, and she's the sweetest and such a goofy girl. Today I wrote a poem about the other me that forms when I need to face the world. Since I experience dissociation, I have a disconnect that kicks in by...

I did not recently write this. I found it in my drafts and thought I would post it to remember how far I've come.  Even though I thought I was in a good place when I wrote this, I am in a much better place now. Onward and upward, being gentle with myself about the losses.    I’m More than Just a Walking Mental Illness I’m a human being, just like you, and have feelings too....

Happy Wednesday!!!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! I hope that you are having a great week and are staying safe out there. My week seems to be gradually declining, and today hit me like a stop sign in the face as I attempted to get out of bed this morning. I finally made it, but later than planned. Luckily I could afford to stay in bed a little longer this morning, but that will...

The Joy of Having to Take Our Meds

Happy Wednesday! Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! Once again, today is garbage day and I am using it not only as a day to get rid of all of our trash but also as a day of cleansing and renewal. Beginning the day with a purpose helps the rest of the day go well for me. I listen to prayers and meditations with Bible readings to help calm me and I really benefit from it. I find that when I...

    Woohoo for Cinco de Mayo Hello, hello, hello and happy Cinco de Mayo! My family and I celebrated early yesterday because my kids are going to be with their Dad tonight.

I start a new job today so I hope the tea helps! I should have known better than to eat that onion last night...Lol :) Anyway, this poem talks about depression and the tendency we have to get stuck in...

Impending Doom

 Hello, Hello, Hello! Here we go with another day, and I am feeling grateful- hopefully you are as well! The title of this poem is "Impending doom"; something I am all too familiar with. Hopefully those days are mostly in the past. Since I have a severe anxiety disorder among other concerns, a sense of impending doom arises from most things I have to encounter-  it can be quite...
