I am not sure what is going to with me but I just cannot seem to keep up with this blog anymore.  I will try my best to post now and then though! Please feel free to follow me on Facebook, as I post there daily!

Emotional Rollercoaster

Ever spend the day on a roller coaster of emotions and not really know why?
And then have that roller coaster stop on sadness and cannot pinpoint why it chose to stop there?
That was my day!

Panic Attacks and Anxiety

Panic attacks and anxiety are not at all fun to deal with. Sometimes, like yesterday, I did not think I was going to ever be “normal” again. Thank god my Riley Bean is here. I just wish Steve was here too.

 

I have many of the above symptoms during a panic attack, along with pacing frantically around the house, and only being able to say one to two words (usually, “oh god”).

Getting Old Comes With A Price

I am not complaining about getting old....getting older is a privilege in my opinion. However, it comes with a price. I watch as my loved ones drift away. I watch from a distance as they grow and move on without me.

I have watched my loved ones die. Unable to help them. Unable to understand why they have to go.

I am learning how to live without them. I am trying to find a new "normal". The hole they left in myr world will never and can never be filled.

For me, I am no longer a daughter, I am an orphan.

I am no longer a Mom, I am just a mother. 

I am no longer a wife, I am now a widow. 

So, while I am thankful for getting older, I do realize it comes with a price.

It IS Ok to Not Feel Ok

Some days I feel ok and some days not so much. Today, specifically this evening is a not so ok day. Sitting at my computer slowly recovering from a full blown panic attack. My biggest fear is dying. I do NOT want to die. Yes, I know that one day I will die and I cannot stop it....and that is one of the main causes of my panic attacks and anxiety.

I am going to go hug my dog and sit on the couch with her for awhile. And keep telling myself it is ok to have days like this.
