Lots of stuff going on lately.  Jack is potty training, David got a new job (he starts tomorrow!), we bought a new car (Honda Civic).  I've been busy writing all over the place and work is busy, too.  I'm going to BlogHer in August in New York and excited.  Another busy year ( Read more... )

I'm feeling better.  I think the break from school has been great for me.  I met with a counselor earlier this week and that went well, too.  One of the most helpful things was filling out the depression assessment.  There are around 10 questions and the scale for each is 0-3.  I marked three for all but two...I didn't realize until then that ( Read more... )

Gah, I'm still losing it.  Thankfully I was able to push school off a month and we'll see if I'm ready to return by then.  Jack is on the mend so I have at least part of my brain back.  I'm starting to transition some of my old duties at work and get into my new position.  These are good things ( Read more... )

Life is good and I am finding it so weird, even though I totally love it. I'm enjoying things that I never thought I'd enjoy - sitting out in the backyard soaking up the sun and walking to the beach! I've never been an outside girl...when did this change? I've even been cooking dinner (I made chicken with a reduction sauce and it turned out ( Read more... )

I'M DONE!!!!!!!! All done with my 8 month long group therapy!!!!! YAY!

I am so proud of myself for going through this and finishing and putting so much effort into my healing! Yay!!!!!

Man, I've been terrible about updating. My brain has been fuzzy and I can barely remember what I did yesterday, let alone provide a real description of what is going on in my life. What is happening is that all the stressful situations of the last year are just now hitting me (fatigue, body aches, random tension and emotional wackiness). I was ( Read more... )

I had a fairly relaxing weekend of doing a whole lot of nothing.  Well, I did color and read and build with Jack quite a bit.  And I cleaned the apartment and hung a picture.  But I also napped and didn't leave the apartment much, except to take a brief walk around the complex looking at ducks and have dinner with Justin and Shailu last night.  ( Read more... )

I am exhausted.   My emotions are in overdrive and so I'm (in my opinion) overreacting to a lot of things.  This is very new for me.  I'm used to being able to control my emotions and to put on my poker face and go on with my day no matter what.  I'm used to pushing my emotions to the side and letting logic take over.  I hope I am not losing that ( Read more... )

I finally reconnected with my cousin CJ yesterday. He's been stand-offish for years now and while I understood it to a point, I didn't understand why he was that way with ME no matter how much effort I made. So I got that figured out and cleared up a couple misunderstandings and he apologized for not giving me the benefit of the doubt. [Side ( Read more... )

Things are looking eerily similar to 3 years ago when I had the hormonal depression roller coaster post-miscarriage.  Even the timing is similar.  Luckily it's not nearly as out of control and I know I'll get through this and I'm talking about it a lot more but good grief, this sucks!
