The New Normal

What is depression? Anxiety? PTSD? Before I was married at 21, I was perfectly normal. No therapist, no medication. After suffering day after day in a negative, verbal and emotional environment, these are the 3 that I have been diagnosed with. A lot of people have the same diagnosis as I, but we all have had different experiences that have triggered this. The most important thing you can do is acknowledge it and hit it head on. Do not go at this alone. It is ok to ask for help and to talk to a professional. Make sure you surround yourself with supportive, positive people and weed out the ones who bring you down. I promise it will get better in time, but for now take action and get the help you deserve!

God Bless

Dreams: 1/30/14

My dream last night consisted of me in a school where a gunman shoots 3 people in front of me and then tries to shoot me. I am on the ground huddled and singing Jesus Loves Me over and over and for some reason the shooter does not shoot me. Then all of a sudden we are in a mall and same shooter tries to shoot me again and I sing the same song. This dream really scared me but at the same time confirms my faith in Jesus.

Life Update

Daniel is officially a toddler! It is hard to believe that my little peanut is now a toddler.  In the past 18 months he has been doing so much! At this stage he is now talking a lot and putting sentences together.  Daniel is such an amazing little guy!

I am so happy to be working full time and at TriHealth!  I have learned that when I set goals I have been accomplishing them one at a time. Baby steps! I am missing  church this morning but I have to get some things done today and I hope God isn't mad I didnt come over today.

I will try to blog more but no promises!  God bless.

Goals-Updated

1. Lose 30lbs by spring
2. Join a gym
3. Save $: Learn how to budget
4. Read a book/series

Thankful

The past couple of years have incurred alot of positive changes in my life. I am most thankful for my amazing son, my family and close friends and my church. Without God and the amazing people in my life I would not be in the place I am today and I do hope they all know that!
Speaking of church I decided to be a part of choir and the praise band. They all have accepted me into their world to which I am thankful. I have always used music as my therapy and it feels awesome to be praising God in song up on stage!
I hope all who read this take time to think about who all has made them the man or woman they are today.
God bless!

Hello Long Time No Talk!

Yeah I realize I havent kept up with my blog in awhile and so since little man is asleep I can update. On 9/10 he will be 17 months old and I am told once your baby is 18 months is considered a toddler. What!? Daniel is walking, running, talking and is so helpful too. I know this is gonna sound like I am a typical mom but my son is super smart. Simply amazing!

I am loving my career as an RMA and soon hope to be official there. I am closer to God than I ever have been in my life and am participating in a bible study with 2 friends. I am going to be trying out for the Praise Band at my church next thursday so I am super excited.  Well I am super tired so good night and God Bless!
