    I Went To Hawaii

    I Went To Hawaii

    ** I know Hawaii is NOT an international flight - it just FELT like one **I went to Hawaii with my mom for 11 days and I had THE BEST time. I met someone who showed me a different perspective on life, sang in front of strangers, did things scared, saw waterfalls, hiked, went to a gay bar, experienced dole whip, ate amazing food, fell in love with myself more, got closer to my mom, and made memories that will last a lifetime. Say YES to more things, you will thank yourself later.Link to ...

    But Daddy, I Love Him | How To Function After A Breakup

    I am still going through it - so I figured you might be too. Here are the most healthy ways to get onto the other side of a breakup. I know we still want to reach out to them or fix the situation, but the best thing right now is space. Things like no contact, boundaries and surrounding yourself with YOUR people are what will ultimately get you through it. I hope this is helpful or you at least feel less alone in this weird time after a breakup. Sometimes we are a little delulu and need some t...

    They're Not The One | Anxious vs. Avoidant Attachment

    Wow, it has been a MINUTE. I have been trying to process my emotions in a healthier way. I am so used to just pouring my soul that I lost sight of my own private moments to myself. Sometimes we have to hold things sacredly, against our chests, and just be. I have spent this time getting to the root causes as to why I keep making the same decisions, mistakes... realizing that I have a part in my growth and in my downfall. I hope whoever is listening to this that you eventually get to a place o...

    Breaking Up On Valentine's Day | Story Time

    This is for all the girls who were terribly disappointed on Valentine’s Day - just know you’re worth it and he’s a god damn LOSER.I just officially ended things on Valentine's Day with the guy I was dating. I THOUGHT I would be worthy of receiving a rose petal at the very least but all I got was a shrug and a whole lot of nothing. SO, sit back, relax & listen to the terrible misfortune of another failed relationship by yours truly. Proud of myself that there are ZERO tears in this episode...

Yeasssssssssss keeep saying it out loud!

Can’t agree more ….. “lock her up and throw away the key” is not the answer. So closed minded and uneducated. No empathy and clearly have never had any sort of mental health issues or family members with them. Keep advocating you’re amazing!

Armchair expert

Listened to the Clancy episode. Your lack of education around Postpartum psychosis, psychiatric care and pharmacology is apparent. You are making judgements about her medication regimen with no insight into the actual timeline of prescriptions, why it was prescribed, when and with what parameters. For example, were these meds on a routine basis or as needed? Were some ordered and promptly discontinued? You have no insight into how she was taking them, what was discontinued and what was titrated nor are you trained in pharmacology yet you speak with such authority.
