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 ...

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week

This is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. I suffered through eating disorders through my teen and college years, so it's yet another issue I feel strongly about raising awareness of.

Bulimia, anorexia, binge eating... you name it, I've done it. I would go from one disorder to another and back again.

Unfortunately there weren't any events planned in Oklahoma City according to the organization's website. I had thought about trying to organize something myself, but I'm not much of a planner, not like I used to be before the ex-husband sucked the life out of me. I am planning to start volunteering at the YWCA's domestic violence center soon and go from there on what other organizations/causes I volunteer with/for.

Click here for some information on eating disorders. Also, there are some blogs in my blogroll that tell the personal stories of people who are living with or have recovered from eating disorders. Please check them out this week and offer them support.
