Enjoy Your Weekend

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or like you can't live another day, STOP!  Take a moment, breathe, and think of something positive in your life, in your present, in your past to distract those feelings.  I'm trying really hard to follow my own advise today, may you all have a good worry free weekend.

Smell My Feet

One of my favorite laughable moments is my kids, 3 and 7 belly laughing as they stick their feet in my face and say "SMELL MY FEET".  They think it is the funniest thing in the world, and while their feet are quite stinky - it's sometimes the best part of my day.  I don't know that I would survive without these two.  They are what keeps me going and what gives me purpose. My son (3) loves to cuddle and snuggle, and he has no idea the therapy he is providing me with his big heart and sweet kind being.  My depression started when he was born, he was sick the first 7 weeks with kidney disease that was not diagnosed.  My persistence taking him to the doctor over and over finally led to two weeks of touch and go on whether or not he would live.  He is a miracle, and they don't know how but has not had any issue since he was 3 months old.  He takes meds for high blood pressure and is otherwise a normal healthy 3 year old boy.  Sadly a lot of the early...

Self Shaming

As if it's not bad enough to be bipolar and fight the highs and lows I also have to deal with a lot of guilt feelings and self shaming about many things I do, don't do or say.  I've been so low lately that I asked my husband for the first time in the last year to keep the kids my days this week.  I didn't give any reason just asked and he said ok.  I have been so down and I'm so broke that I thought it would be better for them to stay with him this week and even though we have a 50/50 agreement it's more 70/30 me having them the majority of the time. I love being a mom, it's all I ever wanted in life, so now I'm self shaming and judging myself, riddled with guilt for having their dad step it up and take care of them in my time of need.  I should be happy that he didn't ask why because if I had to answer I think that being selfish is what I would have to say and that isn't something I am used to.  It hurts that he doesn't care if I am ok or ...

Men.....

I have been so low this week that my husband kept the kids on my days for me, no questions asked, he just did it.  I went to my daughters soccer practice last night and my son was very excited to see me, which was heart warming and my husband per usual just made casual small talk.   When we were at our cars in the parking lot, I helped get the kids in the car and of course he snuck a quick grab ass and asked when he could get some nookie... it must have been my expression because he backed up a bit and just stood there.  I responded "I didn't say no, I just feel - Blah".  He then went on to discuss that he ran into someone who knew his friend who took his life back in March - who had been recently diagnosed as bipolar.  This man had been friends with my husband since T-Ball and he is completely crushed that he is gone.  I am as well, don't get me wrong, I just struggle to understand how he is talking with people and trying to cope with the loss of his fr...
