Wow...how life has changed.....The Ugliness of Mental Disorders

I came to blogger today to start a new blog with the intentions of sticking with it. There's a lot going on in my mind lately and I need to get it out. Looking back at those posts nearly 3 years ago....so much has changed including myself in so many ways I don't know where to begin.....

So let's start with today because if i back track to everything over the last 3 years, this post will be a book instead of a chapter....lol.

Will try my best to give a brief synopses of those 3 years. My girls no longer live with me and they haven't since June 2011. Mike and I split and my life has basically been in a downward spiral since. I lost my job as a manager of McD's in Jan 2013. I have been with Brandon since Sept 2011. In Mar 2013 we found out we were expecting and had a baby girl in Dec 2013. My girls are now 11, 9 (today) and 8 months old. #1 is starting middle school in a week! #2 is going into 4th grade and #3 now has 2 more teeth coming in for a total of 4!!

I start classes towards my nursing degree at Fay Tech CC on Monday. Taking this semester online because we don't have any means of transportation and the bus stop is 2 miles away and not safe to walk to with the baby. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am taking 5 classes... Anatomy & Physiology I, Psychology, Intro to Computers, The Art of Public Speaking & Writing Composition. The first 2 will most likely be the hardest. The other 3 I expect to be a breeze.

I am hoping to use this page as a way to help me work through the ugliness of my conditions. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety & ADHD w/OCD tendancies. It's an ugly combination. I'm finding more and more that people really DON'T understand and CAN'T understand what it's like to live with these conditions unless they have them themselves. I hope this page will help bring people together who suffer and know they're not the only ones. I hope that we can support and uplift each other in our endeavors to overcome the ugly disease that is chronic depression.

<3 & Peace be with us on our journey!
