ADHD Sucks
I have been struggling to get things started lately. It’s so frustrating. And just like always, I stumbled across something that pointed out how ADHD brains work that made me feel validated. It’s not that I’m just some lazy, procrastinating idiot. I’m not stupid either. But sometimes my brain just fights me so hard when…

Bohemian Rhapsody
“People are always asking me what my lyrics mean. Well I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyse his work:if you see it, darling, then it’s there.” “True poetry is for the listener.” Freddie Mercury was a genius in every way. I truly admire him and love his…

Another Day, Another Therapy Appointment
Yesterday I had a therapist appointment. I go twice a month right now, but I may increase that over the winter if I need to. I kept it a little more surface level for most of the appointment, although we did talk about some of the deep stuff at the beginning. The biggest take away…

To Fight…or not
Seasonal affective disorder has me living the life of GoT Stark House: Last night felt bad for some reason. It was like my emotions were all mixed up in a sad way. I have noticed as I heal that I am not very knowledgeable about my emotions. I always thought I was good at emotions…
