Welcome To My Madness
Well, helllloooooo there!
I'm starting a blog. So, yay me, I guess? I find that I will type my random and disturbing thoughts more frequently than I would journal them. Or jot them down on sticky notes. Or write them on my hand/arm/leg/whatever I have available. On that note, I'm not sure if it's better for the interwebs if I blog, regularly or not. Anyway..... I'm gonna do it. Probably.
On this fantastical insight into all things me, don't be surprised if you find a whole post of nonsense or a thought-provoking soliloquy. Oh, and I can't leave out the few product reviews that I wanted badly enough to agree to a blog post. (I'm hooked in to some CRAZY good deal sites where I get tons of stuff for free or ridiculously discounted prices in exchange for an honest review.)
A little about me: Wife of almost 15 years (Valiversary is coming up!!), mom, daughter, friend, office supply addict, avid reader (Nora Roberts is a GODDESS), doer of crossword puzzles in ink, soon-to-be grad student, and recently hired as a Case Manager 2 for the TN Department of Children's Services. And I also struggle with depression and anxiety.
*Please understand that I am NOT depressed or anxious, I HAVE depression and anxiety. It's like cancer or diabetes. No one says "Oh, you are cancer" or "Bummer that you are diabetes". Labels suck. The only label that actually sticks is "dead". You can't have dead - you are dead. No coming back from that. Well, until the zombie apocalypse, but that's a whole 'nother post.
I don't really mess with social media and find that life is simpler and less fraught with "posting panic" without it. I don't take photos of my food but I do take photos of my kid and my dog. If you spend more than 12 seconds here you will quickly get to know Maddie (kid) and Roxie Crow (chihuahua). They are equally adorable and equally full of tween angst and attitude. My hubs is my absolute everything and I probably wouldn't still be breathing if not for his love and support. I don't take a lot of photos of him because he is usually making a goofy face, most often along with Maddie.
I'm telling myself that I'm starting this blog to get stuff out of my head so it will quit swimming around in there and that it doesn't matter if even one single, solitary person reads my ramblings. However.... the truth is I hope some of my crazy helps at least one person realize that, despite labels, we all have the potential to be thriving, successful, contributing members of society. We don't have to live up to the stereotype people with mental illness are given.
