I feel much better now. Just needed to get that off my chest, you know, not having a therapist anymore and all. May is always a hard month and the weeks leading up to May 22 leave me anxious, teary eyed, emotionally unstable and probably not too fun to be around. Add to that the [...]

I’m feeling down today, stressed out, and anxious. There is too much going on and I don’t like it. And honestly I am tired of pretending I’m okay about it. I am so sick of feeling guilty for the way I feel. Especially about things that should be wonderful times in my life. Take this [...]

8:55 pm :: Avelyn is 11 months old today. I’ve missed her 10 and 11 month “birthdays” now. I know in the grand scheme of things it’s not that big of a deal but I hate missing it! It feels like yet another tiny failure. Oy. I can’t be blogging. I have an exam Tuesday [...]

In January. And the old me finally came RAGING back. I’m refamiliarizing myself with this person on a day-to-day minute-by-minute basis. I like her. I missed her and her funny sense of pissed-offness. I want to try to “integrate” her with Prozac Jenn. Prozac Jenn was too subdued, too emotionally leveled, too buried all by [...]
