ALL FEELINGS ARE VALID
We all experience life with different perceptions. We go through life’s struggles and each person’s journey is different. What may seem like a minor bad point in a person’s life may seem like a major one in another person’s life. Someone may feel sad about a situation, while another person may feel happy. No person on earth experiences life the same or feels the same emotions as another.…
SORRY
I missed a post this week because I have a sinus infection and we have to send our furbaby, Esther over the rainbow 🌈 bridge Friday. She has cancer in her leg that caused a really bad infection. The vet gave us some time to spend with her before we say our goodbyes. We’re heartbroken 💔.
TIPS FOR RECOVERING FROM AN ANXIETY ATTACK
Anxiety attacks are different for everyone. Many experience symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, panic attacks, throwing up, and so on. One thing strugglers have in common is that the attack takes a lot out of them. It’s hard to go through both physically and emotionally, and it’s hard to recover from an anxiety attack. The other night I had an anxiety attack. I threw up and then my whole body…
HAPPY M I there Day
I want to wish all mom’s a Happy Mothers Day. This includes mom’s of pets, aunts who are like a mom, women who lost babies and those who loves someone’s child or children like their own. Every type of mom is special and deserves to be honored. I would not be where I am without my amazing mom.
MY BEST FRIEND
In 1999 Cheryl Miller was transferred from the west twenty-sixth street grocery store in Erie, PA to the Harborcreek store where I worked. It didn’t take long for Cheryl and I to become friends. We were able to talk easily with one another. We had a lot in common. Cheryl soon became more than a friend. She became a sister and a support person. When I fell into depression and moved in with an…

SIGNS OF SELF-INJURY
Self-injury is an unhealthy coping technique where a person causes bodily harm to oneself. It’s often done to feel something when a sufferer feels numb or to deal with painful internal emotions. It’s a serious problem. Knowing the signs of self-injury can help you aid a struggler in finding help to learn healthy coping techniques. I started self-injuring at a young age by pulling my hair to…

PROGRESS ON MY NEXT MEMOIR
When my LO was diagnosed with dementia, my whole world changed and my emotions went up and down. I was too emotional to work on my next memoir. I put it aside and started going to therapy to help me deal with this horrible illness my LO suffered with and my feelings. In the meantime, I stopped writing my next memoir. I found it hard to relive the past while struggling with the present. Now that I…
WHAT RECOVERY MEANS
Many times when we think about recovery from an illness, we think of being healed or back to normal health and strength. Those who are recovered from the flu are healthy again. When it comes to mental illness, recovery has a different yet similar meaning. Most mental illnesses have no cure. When we’re in recovery we are in a new normal. Our minds are clearer, we’re able to live a functional…
CAUSES OF STRESS
We all deal with stress in our lives. It’s all around us. When we struggle with mental illness, stress seems like a huge cloud hanging over us, threatening to throw us deeper into our hole. To handle that stress, we must first identify the things in our lives that cause stress. Knowing what causes you stress will help you find ways to avoid them and ways to cope with them. I talked to my…
DEALING WITH STRESSORS
Stressors are things in our lives that cause physical, chemical, or emotional strain triggering a stress response. Stressors are all around us. They are in our environment, they are events, and they are also internal. When stressors happen to you, how do you cope with them? Do you let them tear you down or find ways to ease them? I have a lot of stressors in my life right now. I was sick over a…
UNDERSTANDING MY LIMITS
Being a caregiver is a very hard and trying job. We love our loved ones (LO), but taking care of them can be very difficult. We are the ones they know well and the ones telling them what they can or can’t do, cleaning up after them, and in some ways invading their privacy. We take on a role that is self-sacrificing. We often give up our own needs for the ones of our LO’s, but even caregivers have…
SICK AGAIN
No blog post this week because once again I have a viral infection. I’ve been sleeping a lot. When I get better I’ll write another post. Thank you for your patience.
SELF-CARE WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU TOO MUCH
You know that old saying, “When it rains it pours?” Well it holds true to life’s challenges. When life’s challenges come raining down on us, it only takes a moment before more problems pour down. Things seem to go wrong all at once. They start small and get bigger. It’s a lot to handle. We often wonder if we have enough strength to handle it. It’s especially hard when you’re struggling with…

AN APOLOGY LETTER
Part of life is getting hurt by people. Sometimes they hurt us by accident, some don’t even realize they hurt us, and some hurt us because they are not nice. Getting an apology helps ease the pain, but not everyone apologizes. How do we mend our broken hearts if a person who hurt us never apologizes? Since my book has been published, people have asked me, “Has any of your bullies read your book…
WHAT IF’S
Do you ever worry about what might happen in the future? You start thinking about what could happen, and then it snowballs into a lot of “what if’s.” You think about so many “what if’s” that you feel tense in the shoulders and neck, you feel sick to the stomach, you have panic attacks, and you can’t sleep. You literally make yourself sick with anticipatory anxiety. Sometimes you get so upset that…

No Post
I apologize for another week without a post. We went to Sommerset, PA and attended our nephew’s memorial service January 24. It was a beautiful but sad service. We left for home right after the service to miss the snow storm. Then Monday I became sick with a viral infection. I have spent the whole week in bed. I’m just now starting to feel better. I will write a post next week. Until then keep…
