Expectations and Peace
I have had a rough few days mentally and emotionally. I wrote this on Facebook yesterday: “I’ve been struggling again the last few days. Heavy depression. I had therapy and cried more than usual. I realized today that deep down I feel like I’m just a burden and not an asset to anyone. Like my…

Identity and Calling
As I sit here in my office, I can hear the beautiful sounds from nature-the frogs in the pond and the birds singing. I’m so grateful for this beautiful world that we live in, but not only that… living here at this camp… in Colorado. After months of suffering/struggle, I’m finally seeing the light, feeling less…

One Day at a Time
I feel like every time I write, big things have happened in between posts. My life is never boring; that’s for sure. I will say that the most recent things that have been going on have been really good. I’m feeling more and more peace each day. I have honestly been a bit disconnected from…

New (Possible) Information About My Brain
These past few weeks have honestly been pretty stinking crazy. I feel like I can never keep up with the crazy… Last week, I asked my therapist if she thinks I have bipolar 2 (she was trying the medication to see if it would help, but that didn’t mean she thought I had bipolar). She…

Finding Personal Agency in Habits… One Day at a Time
These past several months have felt extremely heavy. Many of the things that have been going on aren’t things I can share about publicly, but I have been carrying a lot. Most days I wonder if I will ever have longer “good” seasons. I feel like the majority of my adulthood has been one trial…

A few nights ago, I had the opportunity to remember what I just wrote about. There always seems to be something that “pops up” as soon as I feel like things are settling. Every time. So, I figured something would be coming. Homeschooling & Teenagers I can’t write about it, but I guess I’m eating…

Life Lately
I found out Wednesday that the reason I was still feeling bad (it kept getting worse) is that I had strep in addition to the flu! The benefit of it being strep is that I could take an antibiotic! After less than 24 hours on it, I felt so much better. I’m still not 100%…

Learning To Be More Intentional
I have been trying to write a blog post for days. It has felt nearly impossible because I’ve had the flu. It just won’t go away! Because of this, my thoughts are kind of all over the place. I keep going to bed hoping that I will wake up feeling better the next day, then…

Clarity
Every single day, I feel more and more clarity in my mind and heart. It’s really hard to put into words. On a normal day, even in my “good seasons,” there is a heaviness, anxiety, and fear that is just always there. It’s like my brain is always scanning and trying to figure out what…

No Longer Shrinking Myself
After four doses of my new medication, I’ve already started to feel noticeably better. I didn’t think that was possible because I have read it can take up to 2-6 weeks. But then I googled and realized that a lot of people noticed a difference almost right away (especially if they were in a depressive…
