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 ...

hats, shoes, and purses -- oh my

A while back I gave you guys a glimpse into my overall personal style (click here and here). This morning I decided to give an even better peek into my style concerning hats, shoes, and purses/handbags.

I'd totally wear all this stuff, but I can't even stand in high-heels. I have no inner balance and I can fall on my ass even when I'm standing completely still in sneakers. And my head is odd shaped so any hat looks ridiculous on me.

Plus, if I wear any of the stuff, it would be pretty obvious that I have a major girly side, which I hate showing. I'm not sure why I have such an issue with showing a feminine side. It's probably due to the fact that my mom wasn't girly, so I didn't grow up thinking it was okay to show off femininity.

Okay, so let me get this straight... you twitter, you love girly stuff, you own shoes, hat and purses, which you don't wear the shoes cuz you'll fall over, you don't wear the hats because of a misphapen head you think you have, and the purses would just let people know your girly which you seem you can't show. PHEW-EE!!! And I thought I had a girlie complex!! I hate wearing makeup that makes me look too girly and I own two dresses that I rarely wear, usually when asked to.
Okay you totally trump me on this one.

last night, went to dinner w/ the hubby. there was a woman - in a sleek black dress wearing orange shoes with white and green circles on them. i had one thought: "I've lost it." My youth! My bravery! Gone are the days when I could pull off a trendy accessory, and man, I miss them!!! And, I wonder how i find them again. After 20years in the workplace - boring suits and navy blue. I feel detached from that part of me. You could totally wear a hat. Why not? Ha!

Yeah, my girlie complex is and always has been out of control. I have a couple dresses/skirts that I only wear to weddings and funerals. Back in high school, I seriously thought about wearing a tux to my proms instead of dresses, but I figured that wasn't "socially acceptable" in my small town, so I dressed up as a girl.

Jenx, my main problem is that I lack that bravery to actually wear any of it. I may be young still, but I just don't have that carefree attitude when it comes to fashion. I have too many girly issues to be brave enough to go out in public with orange shoes with crazy circles on them.

Don't feel bad about it BPD, just take small steps at a time. A pair of heels with jeans. A pretty purse one time, always black so you can accessorize them to your black sneakers even. Just take baby steps and you'll eventually get there. Just wait til you feel comfortable with the first step. You'll also would like to note it's called becoming a woman, NOT going "girlie".

I'm new to your blog. I found you from Hannah's. I don't have your disorder or you lack of fashion bravery, but I do LOVE SHOES. Not as much as I used to, but it is a habit that dies hard. I don't really own that many pairs, but I do enjoy a just - so shoe look.
