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 ...

Health Tip: Avoid Unnecessary Eating

Don't use food as a 'pick-me-up'

By HealthDay

Eating when you're not hungry, or simply bored, can make those unnecessary calories add up. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mentions these common cues that may trigger "mindless" eating:
  • Seeing your favorite snacks in the pantry or cabinet.
  • Watching TV.
  • Sitting near a vending machine at work.
  • Having a stressful meeting.
  • Feeling tired or bored, and looking for food as a "pick-me-up."
  • Having no plan for making dinner when you get home from work.
  • Going through a drive-thru food or coffee line each day.

Feeling tired or bored is one of my worst triggers. I really don't handle being bored well at all.
