Hello everyone! I'm sorry I have been away so long! Things have happened, and not good things. Well..at least most of the things aren't good. At the very least it feels that way.
I don't know if you all know, but I have been struggling with Major Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and PTSD for a while now. Recently I have come to terms with having Type 2 Diabetes. It's getting close to time for me to pay loans back, and I have no means of income. Worst of all, I have no health insurance since July and my temporary assistance expired a week ago. And now I am running out of all of the medications I need.
Dealing with everything has been really hard on me. I hope it is understandable as to why I was away for so long. However, I am back now and that is all that matters. Yes, it is understandable if you think this won't be for long, but this is important to me. I finally have a true motivation on what this blog will focus on.
Me.
Yeah, I know it sounds pretty selfish, but you know what? I have spent my entire life doing things for other people. It's time I do something for me. If I can help people along the way, that makes it even better.
The main focus will be insight on what I go through on a daily basis. Mental disorders are a very serious issue in the United States, especially depression. However, there are too many people that don't understand how big of a problem this is. So if I can help them see, even a little, then I have done well. I also want to connect to those that also suffer from mental disorders, especially those that suffer the same ones as I do. We can connect here and be there for one another, This will also show to those on the outside that not everyone's situation is the same.
I will talk about my experiences, vent or rant from time to time, and of course share expression my emotions through art.
The secondary goal is more entertainment worthy. I will share and talk about things that I like and recommend.
I want everyone to feel welcome here, and hopefully we will grow close to one another. Thank you for being patient with me.
