Life's Struggle//Update

I'm Back..

Yess I know it's been nearly 6 months since my last post and lord knows I have been through so much and I needed to get back to my true love writing this blog. So I guess I should start from the beginning and maybe I will be able to get you updated on how I am #SurvivingLife.

So as far as my beautiful baby girl, she is growing and the journey of motherhood is an amazing one. I love making memories, having pictures no one will see, and loving on her letting her know she can do whatever she puts her mind on. My daughter is amazing, she loves to be read to, and her smile is amazing; she does not know it but she motivates me to be great.

So in other news, I finally addressed all my issues with my father. But it was not as easy as I am making it seem. This conversation came after some anger and hurt that I never thought I would let out in my life. AND to my surprise he heard every word I said. He listened and made me feel a lot better. Since that day, I will say that I have talked to my father every single day if it's not a FaceTime or phone call, it's a text message. He is putting forth some major effort and I am greatly appreciated.

So now, let's talk mental health. Everyone knows that mental health is something I am big on, because I experience my own mental health issues. I am starting to see that I am losing focus on what I want in life when it comes to this blog. I have been slacking on writing and it has been hard to focus on this because to be honest being this raw about my life or life in general is very hard. But I know that deep down, what I go through and what I am facing may help others.

SOOOO..

My mental health took a major decline for a second because I never realized that not being motivated or facing life could take a toll on me. But I am talking to my therapist and making short term goals so that I can continue to not let my circumstances over take my mental.

Until next time, I will be #SurvivingLife

Rethinking Old Depressing Thoughts (Part 1)

-
So many things have been going through my mind, like different observations about things I notice that I honestly never processed the way I am now. For instance, I have been thinking about states of mind I have been in when I have slipped into deep depressions or when I have gone into my distancing myself mode. Like have you ever sat back and really looked into why you were thinking the negative or always blaming yourself for things that truthfully probably was not really your fault or was just overthinking the situation and pushed yourself off the edge? Well, I think that I have because today in my mind I keep replaying the thoughts of being not worthy of love. Yes I said I have been thinking about the thoughts I have had about not being worthy of love. What's wild to me about the thought process I am having now is that I am seeing that I put myself in the rabbit hole of depression behind that. Because if I am honest no one told me I was not worth of love, I told myself that becau...

 Today, this post will be a lot more personal because I have something that I want to get out and honestly talk about. I feel that in life when we are going through our challenges with our mental health we are not very open about what's really going on because we never want people to judge or more on the scary side have someone call to have you Baker Acted or committed for those that do not know what that is honestly. So today, I am going to take you on a journey of what I call my "Intrusive Thoughts" while also talking about someone that I honestly am grateful for everyday outside of my daughter. So lets get real transparent... So for as long as I can remember I have had my "Intrusive Thoughts" that I am really not a fan of because they are some thoughts are in my "Dark Place" but they come anytime of day. I can be driving my car and I will think "Drive into oncoming traffic", "Drive off the side of this freeway", "If that sem...

The Toy on The Shelf

-
For many years I have always felt not good enough and would allow that mindset to really get me down. I mean I always felt like "the toy on the shelf" and that people only took me off when they wanted something from me, for me to do something for them, and/or wanted to have sex with me. I know this mindset sounds really crazy, but I really feel that people look at me like that.  Lately, I have been feeling this way especially after a had a heart to heart with a friend of mine and I realized that I have been "the toy on the shelf" for many people in my life past and a few present day. I do not know why that is where I exist with some people. I guess it's because I allow it, yes I can own the fact that I literally allowed a lot of this behavior, now I do not know why I allowed it.  For some reason, people like to say they have all these feelings for me, but only show those feelings when it is convenient for them and not because they want to show that they really a...
