Night and day difference

I'm not sure I can accurately express in words how different I feel since beginning my medication.

I can't even recall the last time I was actually angry! No more feeling like the Hulk.

And... I actually like people!!! LOL I don't have to put on a happy face and pretend to like people and interacting with them.. I actually do enjoy it!

My headaches are even better. I don't have them all the time! I do still have them sometimes, but not like it was before. Which really does make a huge difference.

My one medication still makes me sleepy, but my other one helps with that.

I've also started birth control to try to help with all the pain I have during the month. The doctor doesn't think it will help. She thinks that I have endometriosis that is causing all my issues. If the birth control doesn't help with the pain then she will go in through my belly button with a camera and look around to see what's going on in there. I've only been on the pills for a couple weeks, so far it hasn't helped with the pain, but it has helped with my hot flashes and stuff.


If you are having issues with depression, anger, anxiety, any other mental illness please please please seek help! Find a clinic that has a sliding scale so payment is based on your income. Find a way to get help. I cannot express how well I'm feeling and how much of a difference there is between me now and me of a few months ago. Don't wait anymore! Go and get help!! Feel better! And don't give up, if the first medication doesn't work. There are SO many available! Find what works for you!!

Have an amazing Christmas everyone!!

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
