Brain and Body

So, I had my first follow up visit with my doctor and got all my blood work results... and everything is normal! I'm a bit perplexed by this though because I still don't have answers for my crazy bruising, taking a long time to heal, and my headaches.
But! I'm doing great depression wise. The medicine I'm on had been a huge help! I seriously feel like a different person. The only down side is that my medicine makes me extremely tired and I have a hard time doing anything but snoozing on the couch all day. But I discussed it with my doctor and she is giving me another antidepressant that I can take in the mornings that will help with my energy level. She's allowing me to figure out the right dosages since they are both antidepressants. I'm going to be able to see how they affect me and if I decide I don't need such a strong dose I can cut the one I'm taking now in half.
So, I'm looking forward to that and to having some energy.

I also am set up for a gyno appt. Hopefully we will be able to figure out what is going on with my hormones and all that stuff and hopefully get me even more balanced out.

My mama had brain surgery yesterday! Praise God everything went well and when I talked to her yesterday she was feeling well and could feel God's presence through it all. Thank you to everyone who has been praying!
The initial pathology says that the tumor is not cancerous. We have to wait a couple of weeks to get the formal pathology report.

All in all it was a good day yesterday despite the stressfullness of it all.

If you are in need of mental health help please please please do not hesitate to get help! It has been a huge change for me and it feels really good!
I'm not saying I'm perfect now, but I'm sooooooo much better than I was! I don't feel angry all the time. I don't feel like the Hulk anymore (lol). I don't feel so much self hatred.

If you're battling depression and you're doing it on your own, find help! Feel better!!! <3

I won yesterday.

Yesterday morning I planned to clean the house and get stuff organized because I had people coming over yesterday evening. As soon as I started to get things ready to clean my 2 year old started throwing a fit. Normally I get really irritated and just tell him to knock it off and keep doing what I had planned. But yesterday I didn't. I didn't get mad. I didn't yell. I didn't do what I would normally do. Yesterday I put on one of his favorite movies, sat down, and rocked him. He ended up going to sleep. Then while I was doing dishes he woke up very upset. Again, normally I would be really annoyed, but I sat with him and he calmed down. We sat in the chair together for a while and then he was up and ready to play. But I won yesterday. I won against my anger. I won against the way I usually react. These moments with my children are ones I will never get back. I really need to focus on that instead of the irritants that present themselves. It may be only on

Depression + Guilt

Can I just say.. Again.. Depression SUCKS! There doesn't have to be a reason why I feel like I'm worthless.. I just do. I'm also a Christian. I try to read my Bible. I pray often. I go to church on Sunday. And I really try to be a good Christ follower. But being a Christ follower and battling depression day in and day out is hard. Because I know in my heart that I'm so very valuable because God created me and loves me unconditionally. But my head just doesn't hold on to that all the time. And then I feel guilty because I don't have that joy and happiness the Bible speaks of. I feel guilty because I'm not the person I'd like to be. I'm not the great Christian woman (parent especially) that I long to be. And that guilt can be so very overwhelming. I constantly feel like I'm failing at everything. Recently, during a discussion with someone I brought up something that is in the Bible. The person asked me to stop bringing up the Bible becaus

First Blog!

Good morning all! I'm very excited to begin this new journey of blogging!  God has called me to share my life with others so He may be glorified and people may be helped through their struggles.  We weren't created to go through life alone. And thankfully we aren't alone! Many times in life we feel like we have no where to turn and no one we can count on. (That includes me) But through fellowship and leaning on God's loving arms, we can make it through this life. Together. So, here is a small introduction to me: I am a wife, to a wonderful husband. I am a mother to two awesome little boys and a beautiful step-daughter. I grew up as a preacher's kid along with my 2 sisters and 1 brother. I've had to fight for my relationship with God, and find Him on my own. I am a survivor of abuse (NOT by my husband). I am a mother of multiple children I never got to see or hold (miscarriages). I have fought with depression and anger since I was a kid and continue
