You have no doubt seen or heard the commercials: "Where does depression hurt? EVERYWHERE. Who does depression hurt? EVERYONE." Mental illnesses can consume you, take over your entire life and hurt everyone around you if you let it. I am no exception.

My life feels like I am stuck riding on a rollercoaster in the middle of a hurricane. I have ups and downs, and I have left a path of destruction in my wake. My sanity dangles on a tiny fragile string, and through this blog I am giving the world a look into my broken mind and my unstable life.

In the end, I am just a girl trying to maintain my sanity in a candy-coated world of misery. Here you'll get a glimpse at just how true those commercials are. Keep your arms and legs inside the blog at all times, hold on tight, and prepare yourself for a very bumpy ride ...

How did I get 220 hits?

How did I get double my normal hits on Wednesday?

This is my 776th entry. I'm up to 30,300 hits total, which averages 39 hits per post overall. It would be more hits overall if I didn't take my two-month hiatus over the summer when I left my ex-husband and moved in with my mom for a while.

Lately I've been averaging about 110 hits per day, but suddenly I got over 220 on Wednesday, so double the normal amount. I got looking at the details on my site tracker. One person in Europe looked at 41 pages of my blog on Wednesday and a different person in Maine looked at 34 pages. Why would someone look at that many pages in one day? Those are some dedicated people. They must really want to learn about me or I fascinated them for at least one day. I really appreciate the hits, but I just don't understand it. I wouldn't look at over 30 pages on a blog in one day, but I don't have much of an attention span.

My friend Seaneen over at The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive posted an entry about how she reached 500,000 hits this week. She's had the blog since February 2007. I will be shocked when I reach 500,000, but I've had my blog since July 2007, so I guess I'm really not that far behind her.
