The Kids Are NOT Alright

Mental illness showed up in me at a young age, beginning with O.C.D. and morphing into full blown depression by my teen years. Although those things were difficult to deal with as a kid, dealing with having a mentally ill parent was just as difficult, if not more. The thought that I could put my

Am I Ever Happy?

Featured photo: cafepress.com Gifs: giphy.com Someone asked me today if I’m ever happy. This question followed a bitch out session by yours truly. I had a good reason to bitch, trust me. I guess everyone usually feels justified when bitching someone out. If you know you’re wrong and keep complaining, then you’re… just a bitch.

Love In A Time Of Pure Craziness

There is a lot I can’t say on this platform for various reasons. The most important reason is that my children have access to my blog and I want their innocence to remain intact as long as possible. I can say though, that I have had a very full and interesting life with so many

Perception Is Reality

I used to at least always attempt to be optimistic about everything, even when the universe seemed against me. This is a feat I struggle with immensely now, especially after everything I have been through in my life. Years of mental health issues, tragedy, or just being a grumpy asshole can turn the optimist into

I HATE Money! Wait…

Like most Americans I have money problems. I have bad money problems. If you have been following my blog or know me, then you are aware I am now receiving social security disability benefits. I am so grateful for my mental illness to finally be recognized as a disability, but I am not making it.

I have a many thoughts and opinions about judgement and judgemental people, does that mean I’m judging the judgemental people? Maybe… I can tell you how I feel about it and if you feel differently please feel free to comment, no judgement! So, I truly believe we shouldn’t judge anyone. I know most people say

Lunch With Mother-In-Law

I saw my mother-in-law for the first time since before Thanksgiving today. You see she doesn’t approve of my current boyfriend and told me basically as long as I am with him she has to keep her distance. To be honest, when she said that it really pissed me off. I feel like who I

Yay for Social Security!

So I have excellent news… I finally received my first social security disability payment! It couldn’t have come at a better time. Yesterday was my boyfriend’s birthday and we were flat broke. He went to Ihop for free breakfast and gave it to me because I hadn’t eaten in 24 hours. He went to Firehouse
