Rare Jewel of a Day

As a person living with anxiety and depression you get use to having things occur on a daily bases. Most of the time you go through the day and have become so accustom to feeling a certain way that you don't even NOTICE it; it becomes the norm. When you discuss how it's like living with anxiety and/or depression you discuss the bad days, not the everyday life that it affected by it because you don't realize that you are affected by it by most days. You start to notice this when you have the rare, amazing day where you feel good. You feel like you had ten cups of coffee (or energy drink for those that don't do coffee) because you are up and aware, you are not feeling down and tiered or nervous about everything. You are aware of everything going on in a different way; in a way that you aren't in your everyday life. What causes these day to occur? What do you do when they do? This is what I'm going to discuss in this post.
What causes these days to randomly occur? Honestly, I have no idea. They just happen. Perhaps I woke up that day without having a nightmare during the night. Maybe for once the chemical in my brain leveled out for a while; we all knows that having anxiety and depression is a result of a chemical imbalance so perhaps thats why. There is absolutely no way for me to understand why I felt good on these day but you know what? I don't care WHY I feel good that day I'm just going to enjoy it because chances are tomorrow I'll be back to feeling nervous, exhausted, irritable, empty and so much more. 
So this leads to what do you do when they occur? You live it up!! You do all the things that you use to love but haven't felt like doing. You just do it!! You read that book that you ready 8 years ago and that you loved. Go out for a run. Ride four fourwheelers. Go hang-out with friends. Do the things that you finally feel like doing. I had one of these "jewels of a day" the other day. I ended up spending the whole afternoon, of course after I got home from work/college, outside! It has been so incredibly long since I just sat outside on the grass with my dogs. And you know what? IT felt AMAZING!! I felt good, I finally felt like myself. I wasn't tired, I wasn't nervous and I felt like me! 
So even if these days are rare enjoy the days when they do occur. Enjoy the day, have fun, and be happy!! 
Everyday is a day to strive to be happy, but I know for a fact that sometimes it just doesn't happen. When it's worse is when you do not even notice that everyday you feel a certain way until you have one of these amazing days. That's why I call it a rare jewel of a day because it is precious when it occurs.

Embracing Imperfection ~ Scars

There are many different posts I can make about "Embracing Imperfection" that's why I added a part to the title regarding this specific post Scars . We all can recognize what an external scar on the skin is; we've all fallen a few times and gotten a scrape that turns into a scar, in some cases the scar fades over time and in other cases they don't. But no-one really takes into account our internal scarring...why is that? Now I don't mean literally inside our body like scar tissue from a surgery, I mean our emotional scarring. The scarring that is so evidently present to us but no-one else sees it. If you take a look at the definition of a scar (just a scar in general) it, of course goes over other details but it also says that it is the process of wound repair and that it is a natural occurrence in the healing process . Let me repeat this...it is the process of wound repair and a natural occurrence in the healing process. What is the difference in that defi

Don't Give Them the Satisfaction

We all know what rejection feels like...no I don't mean getting turned from a guy or girl, I mean the rejection of being told you can't or maybe you won't be good at it, or anything else related those. So what I am about to tell you is super important....are you ready?? Don't give them the satisfaction! It's hard to keep going when you are told you can't do something or that you won't be good at something, but don't give the person the satisfaction of you quitting no matter what. Now, I'm not saying that every person who tells you that you won't be able to do something is meaning it in a cruel or malicious intent in mind, the person could just have your best interest in mind but still don't let them tell you what you have the ability to do. It's tough, trust me I know. When someone tells me I won't be good at something, will have a hard time with something, or that I just don't have the skills it hurts and it's hard to not gi

My Story Begins

My story is one that people around my community do not know, in fact the majority of even my friends are unaware. This is my way of getting this out, my way of letting people know and understand, and to Share the Glass Slipper ! There were times in high school that probably would have been a lot smoother had the teachers, staff, and students knew why I was the way I was. They didn't understand why I would prefer to have my nose in a book than to communicate with my classmates. This is my story, the one that has been told to very few people, aside from the strangers in my Washington DC presentation. From the time I was born until I was almost four I lived with my biological mother. During this time my 'first step-father' and mother moved me and my sisters from Alabama to Mississippi, away from my Father. My story begins, however, when my mother and 'first step-father' divorced and she moved in with another man. So now you ask what happened? During a visitation wit
