Busy running around. I’ve got to remember what my limits are. When to keep going, when to slow down, and when to say “NO”! I’m too crazy to be running around 24hrs a day 7days a week, I’ll lose my mind… not pretty! I’m having a good time with all of the excitment going on around me. Emotionally I’m feeling better than I have in a long time. I’m glad that I get to share in every one else’s happiness instead of lying in bed surrounded by dark sadness. I remind myself everyday of my accomplishments and strive for bigger and better goals. I’m the only one in charge of “My Story” and I can’t write a good one unless I get off my butt and do something. I of course will need the continued help of medication and my weekly psychologist visits! I’m doing everything I can to keep myself “normal”… and having a GREAT time now!!! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Happy that I am consistently waking up in a good mood and that I’m able to get myself out of bed. I’m still not a morning person but I feel as though I have a reason to get out of bed. Last night I was relieved that my anxiety did not make it’s daily visit. I went home and was able to cook dinner, clean up, do laundry, and catch up with friends all with a happy attitude It’s crazy to think that because of a few small pills the “crazy” thoughts and depression are subdued. – CrazyInHeels

NORMAL IS ONLY A CYCLE ON A WASHING MACHINE!!!

I’m trying to work on time management in the hopes of having less stress which in turn will lead to less anxiety (I hope!). I’ve made a list of things that I need to get done in the next few weeks and am putting them in order of importance. Just because I’m “crazy” doesn’t mean that I need to stop LIVING! Yes, I’m emotional; Yes, I’m sensitive; Yes, I need rest; Yes, I’m easily overwhelmed at times; Yes, I talk to myself sometimes.. hahaha, but I can still live and make something out of myself. I might have a mental breakdown in the middle of week or even my day, but I’ll keep going. It’s not where I’ve been but where I’m going! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

Always laugh when you can, it’s cheaper than medicine!

I’ve been busy working around the house this weekend. Sometimes that’s just as exhausting as running around all day. I’m getting better at slowing down and saying no so that I can take time for me and relax in order to bring my thoughts and feelings back to a slower speed. Being “crazy” has forced me to take a closer look at my life and adjust accordingly. I’m at a point where things are good. I’m able to get out of bed and feel as though I have a purpose. My thoughts are usually positive but I still struggle with anxiety, I’ve GOT to take control of my thoughts. It will happen! I’m here in this moment and excited that today is good for me. I’m starting to find that middle ground somewhere between Manic & Depressed. My depression has subsided & the grief from the loss of manic is passing. I’m happy being in the middle as close to normal as I can get - XOXO CrazyInHeels

Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in every day!
