I have honestly been
terrible with blogging for the past little while. If I’m being completely
honest, I’ve been focusing on my own mental health to get through 2018.
I wasn’t sure whether
or not I was ready to publicly share it, but I think I am. In October, with
everything going on with my criminal case, I tried to commit suicide. I
overdosed on Tylenol 3s and sleeping pills. I’ve been focusing on my recovery
for the past few months, which has taken a lot of my time and a huge toll on
me. I figure tomorrow is a fresh start and hopefully 2019 is great for my
recovery. I’m currently on a mixture of antidepressants and mood stabilizers,
which have been helping significantly as
well as a PRN for panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. I think I’m finally on
the right road to recovery and I’m looking forward to what happens in my
future.
Christmas really
helped me heal as well, because I got to spend time with my loved ones and it
reminded me how truly loved I am. I spent Christmas day with my mom and her
boyfriend – we went to see his mom in her long term care home then I had
Christmas dinner with my parents, my mom’s boyfriend’s son and his girlfriend.
If you know me personally, you most likely know that planning Christmas this
year was super stressful for me.
Boxing Day was great for me, too. I did some shopping, I found some great deals
on stuff for when I move. Then I went to my sister’s to exchange gifts and had
some leftovers. Last but not least, it was Mater’s 7th birthday on
the 26th! I can’t believe that Mater is so old already. It feels
like just yesterday we were bringing him home.
Anyways, that’s my
life in a nutshell. I thought I would give a little update now that I’m
starting to feel better. I thought I would share some links for links &
loves this week since it’s been a while since I posted.
