The other day I had a conversation about what’s been going on lately. It has been a crazy December, and it all just seems a little too much sometimes. As I was confiding in a friend she just couldn’t believe everything that’s been happening with my family and I over the last few years. … More It’s Time to do Something DIFFERENT. (Searching for Freedom)
It’s been almost 6 full months since I’ve been “physically separated” from my soon-to-be ex-husband, and words can’t even begin to describe the emotional roller coaster during this time. It’s so weird, because it’s not the typical emotions that I would’ve expected. We’ve been mentally and emotionally separated long before we moved out, so … More Divorce Diaries (Part 22: Experiencing the first Holidays after Separation)
         This week’s post will be fairly short. I was going to skip this week, but since I skipped the first Thursday after the move, I decided to go ahead and give another weekly update. I will say not much has changed since my last post. I’ve still been adjusting, trying to figure out what’s … More Divorce Diaries (Part 17: Just Breathe, Shake it Off and Keep Moving Forward)
I’ve been thinking about how things were going to be during this time since January, and now that the time has come, it’s been interesting to say the least. It has been a few days since my soon-to-be ex-husband started sleeping at his new place and the emotions have been quite magenta (in the … More Divorce Diaries (Pt 14: Physically Separated. Finally living apart…)
         Next month is going to be a busy month, and I’m already looking forward to July. I like to try to document my journey every Thursday, but it’s getting harder. There’s just so much to do. It’s been a busy month, and next month it will be busier. If only I was a minimalist, … More Divorce Diaries (Part 11: Trying Something New to aid in my Healing Process)
I think I entered a new phase of this journey a couple of weeks ago, and I’m not even sure what to call this phase. After I mentioned letting go in my last post, I thought I finally came into acceptance of a lot of things. I didn’t want to let go of the … More Divorce Diaries (Part 9: The Mental Floating Zone of Protection… Detaching.)
It’s been a challenging time to say the least. I’ve been really contemplating on whether to speak on it or not, but this is real life, and life happens. I don’t know what I expected once the decision was made. When we came to that agreement to let this marriage go, I genuinely didn’t … More Divorce Diaries (Part 2: Sink or Swim)
Sometimes I go back and read my old journals or old posts, and I am really surprised at how much I have forgotten overtime. But when I read them, it’s like it all comes rushing back. It’s so important to record your life, to record your story. At times, it can even help you … More Memories Unlocked! (Why we should all Journal)
         Well, there goes another year. 2024 was interesting to say the least. What a challenging time! Now it’s time for a new chapter. The last 3 years have been the hardest 3 years, but now, it’s bamboo season! I’m claiming it! It’s a time for rapid growth and a time for change in the … More Going into the New Year Damaged but Not Destroyed!
        It’s been a year since I’ve started phase 2 of my mental health journey. After doing what I could do on my own I finally caved in and started counseling and antidepressants last fall. I can’t say that counseling was effective. I tried so much on my own beforehand that I covered 97% of … More Antidepressants trial and error. The downside of the effects. (Mental Health Update)
