More on my thoughts on depression

First off, I want to admit something; I’m not a fan of the phrase “Unless you ***, then you can’t possibly ***”. I mean, a male OB/GYN has a heck of a greater understanding of my inner parts than I do, even if he doesn’t, and never will, have them himself! However, with depression, I’m [...]

Taking a break for a bit…

If anyone comes here from Twitter- fear not, I will be back!!! I just need to get a few things straightened out in my life, and once I’m back on track, I’ll resume posting bigger (well, hopefully smaller, actually!) and better than ever. Life is just too distracting for the moment, and I’d hate for [...]

Since I couldn’t find this song on Blipfm…

I thought I’d post it here! By the way, my eyes are hazel…

Online friendships

For the past year and a half (tomorrow, actually, will be 18 months), I have been in a relationship. For 18 of those months, things were never “right”. I knew it and he knew it, and he basically told me as much. I heard what I wanted to hear, not what he actually said, and [...]

Hot Topic: Mental Illness

Here’s the answer to yesterday’s question…Yes, I know, the title gives it away    All of the celebrities mentioned have a mental illness of some sort, whether it be depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia…there are many, MANY different mental illnesses out there. One thing that bothers me is the label “crazy”, as in “He just [...]

Life…

Things are really tough right now, in pretty well all areas of my life. Nothing is turning out like I wanted it to or how I thought it would be, and before you say/think something stupid like “It never does turn out how you think it will”, “Life is so unpredictable”, “Things happen for a [...]

A tale of the Giver and the Recipient…

In the Recipient’s family, there are no surprises. The youngest brother would always come up with something unique, but that’s pretty well it. For the most part, it was either a) Give the person money to buy whatever he/she wants, or b) Give the gift-giver a specific list and they’ll “shop” from it. Someone the [...]

Feelings…

We all have them, about someone or something. We all deal with them in different ways. I dealt with them in the wrong way and hurt someone I care deeply about. I should have just asked them directly, or gone to someone else for help in dealing with my irrational thoughts and opinions…but I didn’t [...]

RIP Patrick Swayze…

I heard the sad news a couple days ago that Patrick Swayze had passed away. I know that he was in many movies and television shows, but I’m going to concentrate on the most iconic one- Dirty Dancing. I saw this movie for the first time in high school (my viewing preferences tend to be [...]

The first day!

I’m back at school yet again, for the last year of my undergrad degree. I graduated from high school in 1999, and I’m still doing an undergrad…you can do the math…that’s a long time! There are many reasons why it has taken so long to finish my degree. Someone very close to me put it [...]
