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 ...

Project 365 - photo 42 ... Books, books & more books

I took vacation days this weekend, mainly because I just needed days off from work, but also partially because there was a huge book sale put on by the Oklahoma City-area libraries. It's an annual thing at our state fairgrounds. Each year I buy a bunch of mental illness-related books, and inside I wonder if the volunteers who work as cashiers at the book sale are secretly judging me based on what I am buying. I feel as though I'm wearing my pin that says "I have issues." I'm sure it's just me worrying about nothing, but it's hard not to wonder.

These are some of the books I bought this weekend plus that pin I mentioned. The two highlights were finding a copy of "Prozac Nation" that is hardback and older than the version I had, and I found a new copy of "I Hate You, Don't Leave You" that is less damaged than the one I have had for a while that I had found at a garage sale.

I always feel like people are judging me when I buy stuff... or eat... it's so annoying because part of me knows that most of them don't care.
