I can’t sleep. At some point in my 14/15 years of depression/anxiety/panic attacks/insomnia…I just learned to fall asleep whenever my body and mind decides to fall asleep. I keep thinking to where I was a week ago. In the same place. Same problem. But in a much bigger scale. I had jury duty last week. […]

The TWO things that make me happy.
The TWO things that make me happy. Disney & Paramore. Happiness is something so rare and so precious to me. It’s not just being happy. It’s pure and absolute joy. It’s the ability to focus on what’s going on NOW, not thinking about the past or future. It’s not having all these worried thoughts bouncing […]
Holidays are the Hardest.
As everyone is out celebrating the Fourth of July. I’m at home. Painting to pass the time and get this day over with. My screen on the phone only tells the time and the day. No messages, no notifications, nothing. It reminds me of how pathetic my life is. My co-workers kept on asking me […]
My feelings written into words.
I could feel it today. Depression was creeping up into my life. Instead of fighting it, I embraced it. Because I knew that something was wrong and I just shrugged it off. I needed depression to come as weird as it sounds. Because I needed to come into terms with how I truly feel. Whenever […]
I fooled myself.
For a moment sometime in the past 2 weeks, I made myself believe that I was okay. I make everyone believe that I’m okay but I’m just fooling them. I fooled myself. I made myself believe that I was okay. But deep deep down in myself, there was my depression and anxiety just telling me […]
Bye Year 28.
Another tough year in the books. I didn’t go to Disneyland like I usually do. I wanted to relax on the days leading up to my birthday. I had so much anxiety/anxiety attacks/panic attacks/teeth clenching within the past 6 months that all I wanted for my birthday was not to feel anxious anymore. I […]
The place where I can breathe.
Whenever I just need a place to breathe and reflect I go to the little park down the street from my old house. In a huge community, this little park is so serene and so quiet. It’s my birthday in 2 days and before I overthink everything. Before I get upset about how I spent […]
Why? Why is it bad that I’m an introvert?
I hear so many times that I’m SHY, QUIET, DON’T TALK MUCH, KEEP TO MYSELF… in such a negative way. I had someone say at work that I was an introvert and thinks that’s the way I run my classroom. I don’t want to go into full detail because it just breaks me apart […]
I didn’t plan anything.
I didn’t plan anything for my birthday. And that says so much about my current mental state. I didn’t plan anything. I always go to Disneyland on or around my birthday. And it didn’t happen/ it’s not going to happen. I don’t have many people in my life to go with. And things happened. So […]
I can’t breathe.
I feel like I’ve been holding my breath waiting for something good to happen. And I just feel like I keep on getting knocked down and can’t breathe. I hate that I feel this way. I hate how no matter how hard I try or how hard I work to make my life better… I […]
