Life Changes So Fast

Hey Guys! It has been over a year since I last posted on here and for that I am truly sorry. Time sure has flown and wow has things changed. Major life changes at that. I hope all is well with everyone and I would love to hear back from you all about how life has been. With that let's get to the updates because there have been LOADS of changes in my life.


  • One life change is that I have completed my Peer Specialist certification! This was months ago and this is something I will have to get into what all of that is about later in another post! 



  • I have finally finished college with my ASL Interpreting Bachelors degree. I will technically graduate this coming month (July) but I finished in March. It was a long and difficult journey and I have learned so much about myself during this journey also. I am super happy to be done and to start with the next chapter of my life. 



  • The biggest life change and best of all is my husband and I welcomed a little girl on April 8th. If you remember I had a post about Endometriosis "Fight like a girl"  posted on March 16, 2018. I will do another post soon to talk more about endometriosis but one thing to mention now is that Endo affects fertility. We were definitely surprised and are beyond blessed to have our sweet daughter. I can say that there will be more posts related to her; especially being a mom with anxiety/depression. 


I am truly sorry it has been so long since I posted. I am hoping (Fingers crossed) I can get back on track and post more often! Just stick with me!

Perspective: "Some see a weed, others see a wish"

We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do,  keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations. I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for. Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at ...

The bad days; What caused them and what do I do?

Some days are just genuinely bad with no rhyme or reason; others are bad because I have become overwhelmed and my PTSD decides to kick and make it a little worse. Both are as equally bad and both can be a pain to try and deal with and calm myself down. This past week was good, I had a conference that aligned with my College major, it was enjoyable. However, toward the end of the conference week, When I was starting to get exhausted from the early to late days and the push I was giving myself mentally to not let the exhaustion get to me, I noticed I was starting to get more nervous. We did this one "simulation" to help us see what it was like in some peoples shoes with higher mental disorders, keep in mind this conference was to train us to interpret in the mental health field, and I figured it would be no big deal I can join in and listen to the tape...well....that was the wrong choice. I put the headphones on, started playing the tape, listened for a few minutes and then fel...

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...
