Do you know what you have to let go

I mentioned last week that I was blessed with getting a new job. After two years of searching, trying to figure out what I wanted and what I was good at. I finally said goodbye to my former employer and hello to a new adventure. It has been an eye-opening week too. Because I couldn’t help comparing my last company to this one. And that was when I realized what I had finally let go of. Let it be gone I am sure you have heard the phrase, “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” This is true. …

Is there something wrong with perfect

Had a chat with my therapist this week as we dived a little deeper into my thoughts. Trying to find any kind of rhyme or reason for why I would think the way I do or worry about everything so easily.

Power of the mind I …

Everyone is asking you if you are okay. But you are so absorbed that there are no words to properly describe what is really going on. When words are just not enough for you, the result becomes, “I’m fine.” Too many emotions We all go through stressful times in our lives. Some of us are trying to heal through past trauma.

Do you know what it is like?

I wanted to give you another glimpse of what it is like to be me. Well, to help some of you try to understand what we go through when we are trying to heal. There are some people I do not share my troubles with, because I know I will get something like, “well you just need to do this” or “why did you do that?” Being someone that has depression, anxiety, PTSD, and is actively trying to heal from everything I have and am going through, it is definitely much easier ‘said than done’. Want to know what it …

Making it through the thick of the branches

There are so many of us that have experienced traumatic events in our lives. Some of these things happen quickly, while others occur over long periods of time. Eventually we get to a point (I hope) where we are ready to get help. That we are tired of how we are living, and we want to be happy again. We will seek out professional help or maybe reach out to our friends and family. No matter how, we start to work on ourselves. But too many of us forget, no matter what happened or how long it was, healing is …
