Working on My Self Image (Part 1)

For years I’ve wanted to have a healthy self imagine, to love myself for just being me. But for years what I thought of myself was mostly what I thought where else thought of me. This year I decided was the year I’d put the time and energy into learning who I am and why that’s enough. Here’s the first party of what I’ve learned so far.

New Beginnings: Finding Myself after Kids

I haven’t always been great at New Year’s resolutions, but I’m beginning to understand what it means to treat each day like it’s the beginning of the rest of your life. I am grateful for this knowledge because I am taking this year especially to take the time to rediscover me after bringing all my children into this world.

Surviving Anxiety

I thought, I’m fine, I can handle it, until the suicidal thoughts began.  I mainly felt that I needed to get away from everyone, so as not to be a burden on them, I thought that if I could go out into the wilderness somewhere, that everyone would be free from my presence and then they could all be happy.  When not in a depressed state, that seems silly, but when you are depressed, it is very real.
