Snippets about Me, and My Crazy Life
So today makes my 3rd day off of working on the camper. Ive not been sleeping well, had 8 hours sleep in 4 days last week! So I took a few days of rest. I totally shouldnt have, but today might be the day I get back after it. Of course, its only 9:30 AM, but I feel way better after a good night or two of rest. So my dilemma for the day is gonna be RAIN! Ughhhhh, Im so over the rain…..
Well, my life as I knew it has now vanished…. My own mother has evicted me! My own mother, yes you read that right…. The one person who was always supposed to have my back, has now flipped everything all around on me… Because obviously, I’m not the person she wants me to be. And even though y’all dont really know me. I’m not one to just conform; especially just for the sake of all that!
Today I’m feeling down and out. This no sleep nonsense is stealing my joy! So I’m going to share with you 15 tips to help a mentally ill person cope with their bad days.
And thank goodness it’s the weekend! Hopefully I’ll get a chance to get me some extra sleep. One can hope, for sure!
Not every day is like this. Most of the times it’s a compounding of several things, and sometimes it’s the smallest thing ever. But none the less, if you’ve ever been depressed you know that it stinks…. Every freaking time, I feel guilty about becoming depressed! It brings about alot of regrets later, so these tips below are ways that would benefit me! Not to say that every tip here’s gonna help your friend/family member/or any significant person in your life.
Continue reading “15 Tips for Helping a Mentally Ill Person”Whoever says that being a mom is easy, is in need of a mental evaluation! Ok, just kidding… This is not really true. But if you say this, I need tips please! Because being a mom, nevermind me with the added mental illnesses, is not for the weak minded or faint of heart.
This past week has shown me that even though you think you might have it all together; something will always come from way left field. And that something is usually coming along to try to ruin your day. This issue usually comes in like a hurricane; fast and furious, to disrupt your life in any unexpected way that you never thought was possible. Well, I’m here to tell you this now. If motherhood has taught me anything, its to expect the unexpected!

This is my crazy life, and I will love every minute of it. But my nerves are seriously wearing thin! I’m running on fumes right now, add in the pouring rain plus a leaky roof….
Sleep is not looking promising, again, tonight! I’m home; just resting, and writing. I have had a scheduling conflict. And adventure day isn’t gonna happen tomorrow. Which leaves me bummed, but I have no control over this. So letting it go seems like the best course of action.
You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come.

But whats upsetting me is that this is important to me, these are my kids. And I’ll never get this day back! Tomorrow they’ll be a lil older. Eventually, they’ll leave. It’s up to me to set them as priority, so I dub tomorrow a “Kids Choice” Day. I’m gonna let the kids decide what we do tomorrow! If we eat chocolate, pizza, and popsicles all day while playing video games…so be it!
Continue reading “Late Night Rant”Feeling like some semi-morphed, cartoonish version of a sloth and a cheetah today. Totally more sloth like though, hahahaha. I slept all of 2 hours last night, after being up for over 18 hours. I’m so totally exhausted, but here come these meds to help me get through this day! Grateful to feel halfway normal most of the time, but upset that it takes so many meds to help me feel that way. I don’t know what it would be like to have a normal sleeping pattern. I either sleep in 12 hour, deep sleep shifts; or have nights where I get a 2 hour cat nap. In which I wake up at least 40 times a night…..
But alas, the meds do help me function. Trust me, you dont wanna see me(ok, ok, well read about it anyways) without my meds. Therefore they are enriching my life, sometimes in more ways than I can count! So even though I despise taking them, down the hatch they go…and twice a day, at that!
Ohhh, and to add to my other lovely life issues…..bring on the sleep deprivation! Ughhh, I don’t wish this on my worst enemy. It’s really a struggle to stay productive, but I must keep going!
Life won’t always be this crazy, so for right now I’m embracing the craziness…but caffiene is also being consumed a lot! Hahaha, and honestly some days it’s really a no win situation…. I am give out, and completely mentally exhausted!
This….. this is my most current demon that I’m battling! So far, it’s winning too.
****I am NO doctor, and my next few statements are NO substitute to a real doctors diagnosis/orders. Please consult your physician if you’re concerned about your own sleeping habits!!****
