Caring for Our Needs
In my last post, I expressed in very honest terms the state of my mental health at this time. While most of the sentiments in that (rather scary) post still ring true on some level, there has been a subtle shift in the last several months. Read more …
Making Room for Pain
I’ve had a hard battle with depression for my entire adult life. And every time I think I’m rounding a corner, my hopes are dashed.
