OCD
I have a lot of issues with the way Hollywood portrays Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It doesn’t look the same for everyone. It’s not always about obsessive cleaning and organizing. It’s so much more complicated than a ton of stupid rituals or constant checking on things you know you’re supposed to do like lock the door…

Daily Prompt 5/19/23
I had to think too hard about this… It was my shoes. I bought the sandals a couple years ago. Everything else I got within the last year. How weird. Usually I’m wearing shirts I’ve had forever, but apparently I’ve spent more than usual on clothes in the last couple of years. I blame retiring…

Daily Prompt 5/18/23
It honestly depends on what we are talking about. There are times where I really know what I’m doing and no one can tell me anything. But sometimes I feel a little unsure of myself and want to see what other people are doing. I used to put a lot of pressure on myself to…

Memories
I suddenly started thinking about a boy from my earliest days at school. We called him DJ. He definitely would’ve been labeled with ADHD and given meds at this point in his life. DJ was a huge part of my life without him even realizing it. I was raised as a people pleaser, so I…

Bad Blogger!
I have felt myself fading from blogging the past few days. I’m not even sure how long it’s been. One day? Two days? After my January break from blogging, I wanted to be consistent. I love stats and metrics, so I love when I see that I’m on some super long streak. But at the…

the Help abandons me
today I had a therapy appointment. Once upon a time, when I first retired from the military, I decided quickly that I needed to find a therapist. I checked my new insurance plan to see who was covered around here and chose a place that sounded good. I was randomly paired up with someone. That…

Daily Prompt 5/3/23
Well, I’ve already completed one career plan, which was 20 years in the military. So I guess I am semi-retired now. I feel like there’s more left for me to do and I am still trying to figure out what that looks like. I want to work for myself as a writer, editer, and researcher.…
