I was becoming a version of myself I no longer recognized or enjoyed but I just couldn't find it in me to put an end to this relationship that I KNEW was so toxic, so unhealthy for me. To throw in the towel could only mean "failure", right? And what if (WHAT IF?!) things could be different this time? How could I know if I didn't just push through?

Sep 2nd, 2024 - The birth of a child, or in my case, two (as I had twins), is supposed to be an exciting time, right? Well, it can also be the onset of trauma and a multitude of health issues. But no one wants to talk about that. My story is one of postpartum depression and anxiety, and how these issues led to alcoholism and self-medicating.

Aug 19th, 2024 - They say the only constant in life is death and taxes, but I disagree. The only constant in life is change . Death is the ultimate change, taxes can cause change, but in either case, change is the catalyst. Most people find change hard, we like comfort, security, and the feeling of knowing what's next. Change is disruptive. When I found myself engaged in yet another argument with my spouse, the words of a friend popped into my head: there's comfort in the dysfunction. It's hard to ... [Read More]
