Life With OCD, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, And Recovering from Addiction.
Hello everyone hope you all are having a safe and smooth week. My week was actually quite nice. Our weather has cooled down to the lower 80’s, a pleasant surprise because I thought it was going to be in the upper 90’s for another week. My teenage son has been asking me to take himContinue reading “Hello/Weekly Smile”
Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Last month I wrote about my mental re-charge and the steps I was taking in order to feel better/get better. One of those steps was meeting with my family doctor and going over my mental health concerns. I already see aContinue reading “Checking In”
Every 4th of July I celebrate by decking myself out for the occasion, even though we usually stay home. It’s sorta like my tradition to dress up even though I don’t do anything special. We stay home, sometimes let off a few fireworks and go to bed early. Pretty simple and mellow. This year IContinue reading “Weekly Check-In”
This is a re-post. I wrote it when I first started this blog. Since I mainly write about life with ocd, I figured I should explain it in better detail. This post is meant to educate and spread awareness. First off, I am not a medical professional. What you are reading is what I have either personallyContinue reading “What Is OCD?”
I wrote this a while back and since it is mental health awareness month I wanted to share it again. Not only adults, but children also suffer from mental illness. It can happen at any age. As a parent/guardian it’s your responsibility to talk to your child. Even if you don’t think your child hasContinue reading “Kids And Mental Illness”
I have had ocd since I was around 13, I am now 51. The doctor actually diagnosed me with severe ocd. Severe sounds so severe. But it doesn’t stop there, I also have horrible panic attacks and anxiety. Living with these mental illnesses is not easy. My mind is never quiet. It is always thinking,Continue reading “Mental Health”
In yesterday’s post Checking In, I shared about reaching a goal and not letting my anxiety interfere with my sons birthday plans. I was feeling good, actually quite proud of myself for pushing myself and the thoughts aside so I could continue on with my drive. I felt wonderful. The whole week felt amazingly satisfying.Continue reading “Saying Hello/Panic Attack”
I posted this awhile back but figured I would share it again. It was a complete shock to everyone when I started using. I was the “good girl”, the one people were proud of for never getting involved with drugs. I had managed to get through my teenage years and my 20’s without using, soContinue reading “My Addiction Story”
This morning I got woken up by my pre-teen son, he was yelling at me. Not yelling to be rude or disrespectful, he was yelling to wake me up. I was doing it again. I was screaming in my sleep. I was, once again having another nightmare. Not just any ordinary nightmare either. I haveContinue reading “Nightmares/Terrors”
Happy blogging anniversary to me! I just received a notification from WordPress letting me know I started my blog one year ago today. I remember that day quite well. I actually planned on starting it sooner but I wasn’t sure if I was ready to tell the world all my mental health issues, especially theContinue reading “Blogging Anniversary”
