LET’S TALK ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS
The other day my husband and I went out to eat with my parents, and a past co-worker of my dad stopped to say, “Hi.” My dad told him about his struggles with bone cancer. Today I mentioned to a customer about doughnuts being ten for a dollar this week, and the customer told me he can’t have them because he has diabetes. We easily tell people about illnesses we struggle with, and people listen and…

NICOLE’S STORY
Listening to others’ stories about how they struggled with mental illness and worked their way to recovery encourages and educates people. Nicole Galloway Miller is a friend I met years ago when I was self-injuring and struggling with my mental illness. Nicole was struggling too. We became a strong support system for one another. We saw each other through some rough times. In the years I’ve known…

MINIMIZING WORRIES
I’m a worrier. It’s part of my anxiety. My worries start small and get bigger. They make me feel tense and nauseated. Sometimes, if my worries get really big, I can’t sleep. I roll around in bed while my mind goes over my worry, making it bigger and bigger. I want to cry, scream, and turn off my brain, but nothing seems to stop it. I silently plead with my mind to quit torturing me, but it rages…
GOD’S HELP
Into the hole of darkness I have fallen Defeated and lost, I cry Negative thoughts Torment me Emotions flood me I struggle To climb out I fall again I feel hopeless Hands grasping, I pray for help A hand reaches down Into my darkness, Pulls me up to the light With God’s help I find tools to cope A renewed strength To fight Burns within me In recovery I stand
DON’T GIVE UP
Depression sucks life out of you. It’s a heavy burden to carry. It takes away your self-esteem, energy, ability to make decisions, joy and so much more. It’s easier to give up than to fight depression. It’s easier to lie in bed all day than to force yourself to get up and do something. It’s easier to let negative thoughts beat you down than to challenge them. It’s easier to choose death than to…
WHEN LIFE KEEPS SLAPPING YOU
Sometimes it seems like life is out to get you. It keeps slapping you with one problem, heartache, or struggle after another. It’s very easy to slip into depression, especially if you’re in recovery or working towards recovery from mental illness. It can seem overwhelming and hopeless. You wonder when will things get better. Lately it seems like life keeps handing me with one problem and…
ALWAYS BE YOURSELF
High school is a hard time for teens. They are at the dating age, they face peer pressure, and they work hard to fit in. If you dress differently, are too skinny or too big–boned or have any noticeable difference, you are teased and put down. Many try to change who they are to be part of the popular crowd or to fit in. Bullies are people who act aggressively towards people who are different. They…
ESTHER
In 2016 my husband and I went to the ANNA Shelter, a shelter for dogs and cats, to look at the dogs. Lou stopped to go to the bathroom and told me to go in and look around. I looked at the cages with dogs of all sizes inside. I stopped at a cage with a black dog with white on her paws, a strip of white stretching up from her nose, and white on her neck. I read the paper outside her cage saying…

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…
