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 ...

I've started writing my book

I've talked about it for years... writing a book about my mental health and everything that has impacted my mental health. I've never had the motivation to actually start writing it until very early yesterday. I started writing about 4 a.m. yesterday and wrote for 3 hours. I wrote an introduction and almost all the first chapter.

I hope I can maintain the motivation and momentum to get it writing relatively fast. Of course, I'm lazy, so I have to overcome my laziness to write, which is going to be a challenge. Plus, some of the topics I'll write about are really hard for me to talk about, so it will be a painful purge of information.
