I wanted to point something out about depression, at least as it applies to me. When I find myself in a darker place, I don’t think I’ve ever had the urge to hurt myself, at least not that I can remember. When I’m struggling like I am, the struggle is not related to not wanting …

I’m getting ready to call it a night after a really long day. I had to get Elliott to work first thing and then begin tackling my ever growing to do list. It feels like I keep adding items and almost never end up checking them off. I pushed myself today and managed to get …

Today was pretty rough. I spent a good chunk of it sleeping. It’s been body aches, headaches, nausea, cold sweats, and of course, my personal favorite, extreme exhaustion. I haven’t eaten much today and I’ve been trying to stay hydrated as best I can. I ended up mowing the lawn this evening and I definitely …

It’s 3am and I’m still awake because the boys are struggling after a brief visit with their mom. Elliott managed to fall asleep, but Emmett had a nightmare, and refuses to go back to bed for fear it’s going to happen again. Then of course, there’s Gavin. Poor Gavin had a particularly bad night. He …

It’s been another long day for me but I’m doing okay. I didn’t accomplish anything today but I’m not going to beat myself up. I took a long nap today, which was desperately needed, so there’s that I suppose. A bit of selfcare. Yesterday, the boys and I drove to Toledo Ohio to pick up …
