I actually remembered to journal in my planner this week so I have a better idea of what went on! Go me! Let's get into it. I managed to get a workout in every day since Monday. I'm expecting the "perfect week" award from my Apple watch tonight. That'll feel good. I may take Monday… Continue reading Week in Review – 03.28.2021

Each day gets a little easier
It seems like every day that goes by my mood gets a little better. I'm 100% more committed to my goals, and am actually working toward achieving them, not just writing them down and saying that I'm going to do them. I reworked some of the space in my office - wall stuff, not furniture.… Continue reading Each day gets a little easier
Finally had a normal sleep
Another day another dollar. I managed to get a solid 8 hours of sleep last night, uninterrupted, and in bed instead of on the couch. I got up with some difficulty and a little later than I had wanted to, but I still got up on time and was able to be a little early… Continue reading Finally had a normal sleep
Boundaries
I had an appointment with my psychiatrist earlier this week, and we talked a lot about what I'm working on therapy. When the subject of boundaries and my family came up, he told me, "that is literally the healthiest thing that you can do when it comes to your family." *record scratch* I was in… Continue reading Boundaries
Week in Review – 11.29.2020
And here we are again, another week over. In some ways it was a banner week. In others, it totally sucked. Here are some of the highlights and lowlights. Mike and I spent a good amount of time together, often doing nothing but watching TV. We did make a trip to the other side of… Continue reading Week in Review – 11.29.2020
Sometimes I have to remember that not everything is my responsibility
One thing that my therapist and I talked about is how I feel like I'm solely responsible for managing everyone else's emotions. My parents, some of my friends, my family, etc. But you know what? This doesn't all fall on me. If not talking to me for one day causes someone to have a bad… Continue reading Sometimes I have to remember that not everything is my responsibility
What’s really good for me?
Photo by Rakicevic Nenad on Pexels.com I think that there comes a point every so often where you have to reexamine yourself, your surroundings, your possessions, your relationships, etc., and figure out - what's really good for me? Right now? Long term? Are the things in my life healthy? Do they add value? Or are… Continue reading What’s really good for me?
The downside of bipolar disorder. Well, one of them, at least
Photo by Dark Indigo on Pexels.com So. I suffer from bipolar disorder. I'm 99% stable, on meds, doing the right things, and doing what I have to do. The current group of friends that I have, most of them have never seen me in an episode. For that, I'm thankful, but not for the reason… Continue reading The downside of bipolar disorder.

About love lost and how sometimes it’s totally okay
Photo by Andrew Neel on Pexels.com Sometimes someone comes into your life that surprises you. You don't intend what happens, but sometimes it just does. And it doesn't have to be anything physical; it can be all emotional. You get close, closer than you maybe should. And then you realize that you've caught a little… Continue reading About love lost and how sometimes it’s totally okay
Family
Photo by fauxels on Pexels.com I have long since come to terms with the fact that I am, in my family, the odd one out. I do things differently, in my own way and in my own time. I march to the beat of my own drummer. The good Italian Catholic family who plays by… Continue reading Family
