I’ve been on a journey. Through therapy I have found that I am growing and learning. With my new relationship I am in a safe space, and it has allowed me to open up and not be afraid of expressing myself. This doesn’t mean I don’t have bad days anymore, because I still have them. …
I’m Hanging Up My Racing Shoes
This has been a decision I’ve been struggling with for some time now. I’ve had some amazing experiences racing (hello Team Myles!!) and have accumulated some hardware that hangs in my front hall. I’m not stopping running, just the racing. I started out running for the pure fun in 2011, and as it sits right …
Goodbye Foundation
And eyeliner. And mascara. And bronzer. I have been slowly transitioning to a tinted moisturizer. I have gotten to the point where I am just not into foundation anymore. It doesn’t feel good on my face and it has ruined the collars on my coats. Also, good foundation is expensive, and I’m done shelling out …
And So We Begin Again
My first Parkrun, but starting out walking So. Running. Haven’t been doing it regular like. Decided I really need to, for my mental health more than anything. So this weekend I went to my first Parkrun. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Parkrun is a free timed 5k event run by volunteers. You register, …
It’s That Weird Time
You know, those days in between Christmas and the New Year where you can’t remember what day it is and you’re eating chocolate for breakfast…and living in your sweatpants. It’s also when people start reflecting and thinking about the year to come. You know what? It’s okay to not have resolutions. It’s okay to not …
Do You Trust Your Instincts?
That is the writing prompt of the day. I don’t think I’m trusting them as much as I should. I tend to doubt my instincts thanks to my mentally ill brain. I have, on more than one occasion, kicked myself in the arse for not trusting what my gut tells me. I always want to …
Here’s Where I’m At
Well, four months now on Pristiq. My doc and I decided that my dose was good, so I am continuing with the med and my antipsychotic as well. Now that the cobwebs are clearing I can start purging my surroundings and my brain of everything that isn’t serving me. Time to get back on track …
Conference Time: Atlanta
I was in Atlanta this past week for a work conference. We were located in Buckhead, and right next door to a mall. Could have been dangerous, but my wallet was safe, lol. A definite shift in culture from Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Mall had not only Mall Security, but there were also Sheriffs manning …
Our Nala
We had to put our sweet old girl Nala to sleep about 5 days ago. You forget how old they get. She was 18. She came to us from Cape Breton. A friend of mine brought her down to “the big city” to become a kitty of leisure. I remember going out with my then …
Little Bit of This…..
Coming to the end of a two week vacation. It was sorely needed. I kind of wish I had some more time, lol. I’m going into month three on Pristiq, and I’m feeling pretty good. I’m going into the next two months hopeful that this dose is where I need to be. I mean, it …
