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 ...

Doodle your emotions


I keep seeing this bus bench in Oklahoma City. I finally decided to look up what it was for. It turns out that Doodly Couch is a website that sells art therapy journals. Instead of writing about your feelings, you doodle a drawing about how you feel every day. I know what some people have a really hard time putting their thoughts and feelings into words, and sometimes sketching a picture about them is easier than finding the words. There are a variety of the journals... for the general public, for soldiers, for brides, for people going through divorce, for missionaries, for children, for mothers, for pregnant women, etc. There's also one that is in Spanish.

I am considering buying one for my younger brother because he has trouble putting his struggles with depression and anxiety into words but he's always doodling away, so it may be a good thing for him.

I wanted to share the website with you guys in case you're interested in one. You can order from that website or click a link to order them on Amazon.
