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 ...

Why I've been M.I.A.

You've probably noticed that I've sort of been missing in action lately. The reason for that is that I'm still really struggling with the suicide of my former teacher/friend (click here if you didn't read the post about it).

I haven't been handling it well at all. It's a struggle every day to not just bust out crying about it. His suicide is one of the greatest losses of my life, and the lives of all his other friends, family, and students.

As soon as I feel able to move on, I'll be back in full force. I'm just not sure when that will be.

How terribly sad. The blogosphere will wait - take time for you. Be as good to yourself as you can be.

i am so very sorry Jennifer.

When i was in a supposedly very good treatment center, Menninger, in Houston, Texas, (Yes! i want their name out!), an 18 year old girl on my unit killed herself...she hung herself with her bookbag. i am still reeling from that experience, over two years later. My uncle also killed himself.

Once again, i am very sorry, i know the effect a wonderful teacher can have on your life and i am so sorry you are hurting so much.
Love,
tracy
