This morning was a rough one. A really, really rough one. Again. And I’m not going lie, it’s starting to feel like I’m losing the war. I am tired. Literally. Physically, emotionally, mentally…I’m just so done. I can’t keep waking up at 4am. I can’t keep having these same battles, day after day. For a …
When you walk into therapy on a MONDAY night, and exclaim that it’s been a looooong week…you just know it’s gonna be a night. And it sure was. I swear, sometimes just Saturday, Sunday and Monday feels like an entire week all in itself. Therapy went well, and we talked about a lot. But I …
These moments carry so much weight. Can I talk about it anyway? Read More »
Today was a fucked up day. And sometimes, there’s simply no other way to put it than that. It was not a good weekend…and I anticipated it to be as such. However, I did NOT anticipate it to be the actual absolute shit storm that it was. But sometimes, special needs parenting be like that. …
Well holy shit did this morning not quite get off to the best start. The kids woke up at 4am despite being extremely sleep deprived from their 2am wake up yesterday. Yes, I did say 2am. They are also both currently sick with a cold right now, so now I have 2 sick, sleep deprived …
Even now, in the “best I’ve felt in years”, coming off a high of 2 vacations back to back, I’m struggling. Even now, after a day that wasn’t all bad. A day that had its moments of hope and promise…I’m struggling. Struggling means a lot of different things for me. Sometimes, it means the most …
Any time I wake up, and my day doesn’t IMMEDIATELY start with coffee…it’s not a good thing. The kids woke us up at 5 this morning…which, yes, is better than 4am…but then my husband had (yet another) horrible migraine. So even though I was ready to get up and start my day at 5…he was …
Whew. After an absolute whirlwind of a past few weeks, we DID in fact make it to NY to visit my best friend. We flew there on September 11th, despite the threats of hurricane Lee, and have been fucking BUSY every day since. I got home from my Funding Love trip at like 4:30pm on …
The thing about trauma is that there’s always going to be certain triggers associated with it. Some will be obvious, like…fireworks are a certain kind of loud, and that might be triggering. Being alone in a room with a person you don’t know might be triggering. Being in a room with someone you do know …
Lately, it’s been abundantly clear that depression has once again gripped its claws into me with no real signs of letting go anytime soon. Despite me literally just…being depressed…there have been some other signs that my body is screaming at me about that something isn’t quite right. Exhaustion. Let me be clear. If there is …
I had an entire post that I wrote this morning, ready to publish. But, then, as it always does, life happened. Lately, it feels like things are constantly going wrong. I’m managing one crisis after the next, and I just don’t have the wherewithal to deal with it anymore. I’m tapped out in absolutely every …
