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 ...

My great aunt (my maternal grandmother's sister) passed away early this morning. My mom called me while I was in the middle of a mystery shopping assignment to give me the news. I guess my great aunt had found out a couple weeks ago that she had colon cancer, and it obviously was so far advanced that it took her from us today. Out of all my grandmother's siblings (and there were a bunch), this great aunt was the nicest one, and she and my grandmother were the closest, and they were best friends for their entire lives. My mom and her sister were also really close with her, so it's hitting everyone pretty hard. I'm pretty worried about how my grandmother will handle it. This was her last surviving sibling, and my grandmother has had a really hard life in the last couple years.
In the same phone call, I found out that my grandmother on my father's side of the family has gotten the "you don't have much time left" talk from her doctor's. She's been really sick in the last several months, and I guess it's gotten worse. I don't know much more than that because I don't talk to that side of the family anymore. My older brother told my mom that little bit of information last night, but did not give her many details.
Right after I found out about my great aunt's passing, one of my coworkers posted this music video on Facebook. It was quite fitting for my mood at that moment. I love the song so much.
