All of my blogs up until this point, have touched on the vast subject of mental health in some capacity. However, I am launching a series focusing on a few specific mental health disorders/conditions, giving a more in depth look at what each entail. This series is very important to me because sometimes mental health […]
Today I wake up, Is it going to be me? Will I be the one on your t.v. screen? Sickness, death or harm, Is all I think about when you’re in my arms. The anxiety is crippling, But it’s better than vulnerability, It’s got to be. Laughing, smiles; pure joy, I wish […]
So ironically, I lost control worse this week than last week when I published my “Lose Control” blog post, lol. Each week of the “stay at home, stay safe” or “ shelter in place” order, whichever term you prefer, has come with different challenges. Ever since the extension of this order to April 30th in […]
I hit a wall this week. I did my best to stay positive with everything going on in the world right now; but inevitably, I hit that wall I so desperately was trying to steer away from. I didn’t handle that well- AT ALL. Every scream of my child was like nails on the chalkboard. […]

Part of why we’re “not fine” all the time is because in one way or another we feel that we’re “not good enough”. Or worse… we compare. The saying has always been that the root of all evil is money. Well, I believe in the 21st century, the root of most evil is comparison. Think […]
“How are you?” “I’m fine.” This interaction is as natural as breathing. How often do we lie to ourselves and others by saying “we’re fine,” when we know that we are the opposite? A more accurate statement, or sometimes exclamation, would be “I’m NOT fine!” However, sometimes people can pick up the “not” in the […]
Purpose… this is an important word, we all want to know what- is our purpose… Let me introduce myself, and share a little bit about me and the purpose of starting this blog. My name is Amanda, and I am newly 30 years old; I have enjoyed the last three decades of my life with […]
