Anxiety overload
I failed today. I got completely overwhelmed by life and exploded all over my family. Now I’m in my room in the dark (I told them I needed to put myself if time out because clearly I’m not fit to be around people today). It was a perfect storm of anxiety for me.1) I needed…

Our Rollercoaster Life

by
With school starting back up, adding back in our pre-pandemic activities, copycat injuries, and other madness, I feel as if our life is a rollercoaster. I had a great weekend away with my friend. Super relaxing, amazing food, and lots of catching up. We used to see each other almost every afternoon at pickup and…

And the saga continues…
I am so DONE with this whole thing. Every time I get a step closer to getting what I need, someone else can’t do their job. I just don’t understand! This morning I got a message through the portal from the EP’s PA (the person I originally sent a message to, but got messages from…

PRIDE 2022
Saturday we attended our first Pride Festival as a family. My husband and I have always been Allies, but never felt an urge to attend. This year, with our son identifying as bi (or he thinks he might actually be pan, the more he learns), I felt it was important to show the kids just…

Therapeutic Thursday (5/26/22)
I just did my first in person therapy session. I was a nervous wreck leading up to it. Not because I was worried about the session itself, but because I had to coordinate the timing to get there and find the office in a building I’d never been in before. My session was scheduled for…

The day continued it’s downward spiral. When I picked up the kids and told them the new plan I got the expected meltdown. My son kicked and yelled and cried. My daughter cried and held her hands over her ears to attempt to block him out. They were both angry and disappointed. My son said…

Sneaky Anxiety
I’ve been doing really well the last month or so at recognizing when anxiety is rearing it’s ugly head and talking myself through it. But today’s anxiety snuck in slowly, then grabbed hold unexpectedly. You see, our community has hosted a fun run and 5k every year at the beginning of December. The PE teachers…

Triggers
This weekend was filled with triggers for me. Some I handled well, others I did not. Allow me to explain. Saturday was the day before Halloween, so of course there were last minute items we needed from the store. It was approaching lunch time, so my son asked if we could go somewhere for lunch…

Overwhelmed
I’m feeling so overwhelmed today and I’m having a hard time grounding myself in the here and now. I thought maybe blogging would help. Yesterday I woke up with the same headache I’d had for several days and my voice was going. On top of that, I started smelling smoke (like when my husband cooks…
