Pills

    I  just got off the phone with the doctor. I told myself I wasn't going to cry but of course when they start asking routine questions I break down crying. I apologized to him because I feel bad he is also having to deal with my sadness and negativity. The question that set me off what "How often do you feel like a you have let yourself or your family down in the past two weeks?". I'm so disappointed in myself. I had been a year and a half without medication. He asked me how much I weigh and I told him. He responding by telling me I should really be exercising and getting out of the house. I know he is just trying to do his job and be helpful but it hurts to hear that I used to weigh less and my current weight isn't healthy. Its hurts to know that I did this to myself.     He asked me if I felt I needed to high dosage I was on before I quit which was 100mg. I said No, its bad but not that bad. It reminded me of the deep scars I have from when it got so bad I ...

Self-Loathing

     I had hoped my time for needed this blog was over but it seems as I was incorrect. I said some words I did not mean to my husband out of spite. Its not the first time I've done this. I had zero reason to say anything mean to him. I finally accepted the reason I have been hateful to him is because I want him to feel the pain I feel.       I stopped my depression medication back in January of 2019 and thought it was going well. I started a job that was very trying and hard on me, emotionally, a few months after I quit my meds. This is when I believe my depression "came back". Maybe it never really went away. Maybe it was just dormant waiting to creep back out at the right time. My doctor had told me once you quit your depression medication you have a 50% of relapsing. If you quit again then it is a 75% chance. I wanted to prove him wrong. I told myself I wasn't depressed. Its been 3-4 years since Uma died. Yes, you still love her and miss her but th...

What is Hawaii Really Like?!

I don't really know where to start with this blog so here goes some very random thoughts... I've basically become used to everything down here but a couple family members of mine are coming down within the next year and I was thinking back to when I first got here and how amazed I was at everything so I thought I would share in a not so organized way.  I was sitting in bed last night and I was just thinking about how different everything is here in Hawaii then back home in SC. First of all there are tons of cats! I don't see many now that it's winter time. Also speaking of winter time, winter here is like 65-76 degrees during the day and like 58-64 degrees at night. My body had adapted to the Hawaii summer weather(sunny, breezy, 77-89 degrees) so when "winter" rolled around I had to pull out the jackets... for 60 degree weather. That isn't even cold.  My family was talking about how it was 15 degrees the other day. I would turn into an icicle as s...

Marriage

Many people have told me I am too young to be married. Others have said but he is your first boyfriend, how do you know he is what you like(Josh has actually said the same thing). But y'all haven't even been together that long. Well I am going to do my best to clarify these questions. Age is just a number. I believe life experiences are what causes one to mature. So if you haven't lived my life or his life then you have no say in what we do, why we do them, and how we do them... in other words,everyone 🙂 . And actually, people in the olden days got married at 12 years old so in all honesty I'm pretty late on the whole marriage thing. The whole point of dating is to find a partner to spend the rest of your life with and to start a family with. I just got lucky and found mine on the first try. And I'm going to quote everyone who has been asked the question of how do you know he or she is the one.... "when you know, you know." It's as simple as that....

My Love

Tomorrow is my last day of highschool. Then I start my life. I say life because up to this point, life has been pretty set in stone on how most of my days would play out. I start my career and I start my family after highschool and God only knows how those will play out. I get to (hopefully) move to Hawaii with my best friend whom I plan on marrying (that’s not a hopefully, I am going to marry him). I will have to learn how to take care of him. I feel like most people think of marriage as the man “taking care” of the women but in reality that’s not how marriage works. You vow to take care of each other because you want to. Not just because it's in the vows. And I don’t just mean take care of him when he is sick. I mean emotionally, physically, financially, sexually, etc. Whatever it takes. Its called a partnership for a reason. Its equal work, 50-50 to make that 100% everyday. And when he has a horrible day and only gives 15% to the partnership than i will give the other 85% becaus...

Blessed

Joshua makes me want to become a better version of myself. Not only that but he has given me so much love that I'm learning to spread the love and kindness in many forms. Our relationship is truly amazing. All I want to do is make him happy and feel loved and appreciated and he wants to protect me from everything and provide for me. We are also completely ourselves with one another. I'm not myself with 99% of the people in my life so to find a lifetime partner and best friend who is just as equally strange as I am is the best feeling. He can also calm my anxiety like no other person can. I've always been everyone's second or last choice in everything. He makes sure I know I am important to him and I'm his first and only choice. I'm also currently crying because I literally just feeel so blessed and undeserving of him. We had two real and honest heart to heart moments when I visited him for family day and they had to be some of my favorite moments with him. Grant...
