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 ...

These cards are sooo great, thank you, Jennifer, soooo much for posting them. Wow, the one about hurting him...i wish i were brave enough to show it to my husband, because i have hurt him so much, emotionally...but, he..."doesn't want to talk about it." Sigh.
Sorry for the "it's all about me" ramble...
Tracy, please don't apologize for talking about yourself. I want to help others through my blog, so if I post something that sparks you to think about something in your own life, feel free to say something about it.
Plus, it also helps me see that I'm not alone in my struggles, so you sharing your own stories can help yourself and me at the same time.
Hey, Jennifer,
Thanks so much. Your sweet reply brought tears to my eyes.
You're a gem. (Probably a ruby or a diamond...!)
Take good care and you are definately not alone.
Yeah, those cards hit home. But it's not a trigger like it would have been before my meds, so i can actually have perspective now.
Those post cards are so brutally honest and raw.
Many of these really speak to me, too. I don't go to PostSecret as often as I used to. Something about the visuals along with the words gets me so emotional sometimes, I just don't always handle it too well.
BTW: I put up a link to you on my sidebar. Hope that's okay.
Marj, I probably look at the postcards way too much, but I don't typically get triggered by them no matter how bad they are. My trigger is primarily talking to someone about my emotions, which is bad because I can't ever open up without getting triggered. But I can spend all day looking at images that would set other people off in a heartbeat. I don't get how that is.
Thanks for linking to me !
