I love living alone. I love my freedom, my space, my independence but sometimes I wish I lived with someone.

Or what if they have something like hire a caregiver on the spot just for a day or two or as long as needed? … Continue reading sometimes I just need a break
I forgot my morning meds at home so I had to leave work to go get them. I don’t know if it is the thought of missing the dose or not taking them on time that throws me off, but it definitely did its damage. I felt like I was crying all day yesterday and I feel that way today too. The only good thing … Continue reading I didn’t take my meds on time
Are you okay? I get asked that question a lot, throughout the day, everyday. It really gets exhausting having to always answer “yes, I’m okay.” I get that there are those people who are positive or happy people all the time but I’m not one of them. I’m not saying I’m a sad person, I just don’t show that much emotion throughout the day and … Continue reading are you okay?

It’s okay, I had … Continue reading as if nothing happened

Not that it is a bad thing, don’t get me wrong, I had a lot of fun and would love to keep doing it, I just have to get used to it. But at … Continue reading Don’t run away
I feel like I have to re-examine myself as to what happened in the past, while I was trying to figure out how to deal with my mental illness, why things are the way they are now.

All this time, I’ve been dealing with my mental illness on my own, maybe with the help of my best friend and sometimes a therapist, but mainly on my own. I just went through another major depressive episode and it lasted for over a month and resulted in changes on my medication. I talk about it with certain people and I always get the same … Continue reading how do you speak when you can’t speak?
I don’t know if it’s the meds or the illness that’s causing the mind to slow down or have I always been slow to process things? I’ve noticed it for some time now, I have a hard time processing difficult situations. I just had a depressive episode and while myself and my body are over it, my mind is still processing it. I mean it’s … Continue reading time to process
Normally when something big happens in your life, you have your family to support you through those tough times. When I got sick, at first, the support was there.
