Bullet Journaling

If you don’t want to make your own. Need guidance on how to start doing it. Or want to find an app on your phone instead of doing it physically. Check out this website. I’ve done a bullet journal once or twice. Didn’t stick with it. I’m so bad about sticking with something usually. IContinue reading “Bullet Journaling”

Project You

This is one of the e-books that I got from the Libby Library app online. The book claims that you’ll find activities, exercises, crafts, and recipes to help you calm your anxieties, overcome that overwhelmed feeling, find inspiration, take control of nerves, feel confident, accomplish your goals, burst into laughter, and generally feel great. WhileContinue reading “Project You”

Pressure

Gas prices have risen to $4 a gallon. So trips are being limited. Going out only when it’s necessary… but that’s still hard because my SO and I want to keep up with karate. And taking my stepdaughter to and from school is NOT an option. School is still very much in person. To combatContinue reading “Pressure”

Past Artwork Reflection

I need to clear out some of the space in my Cloud Storage so I’ve been trying to see what files I actually need and what could be removed. I’m beginning to think this is a bigger task than I realized. I don’t want to delete everything. I have looked at a lot of myContinue reading “Past Artwork Reflection”

March

Today is Mardi Gras Day! Fat Tuesday is the last day of the Carnival season as it always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Which means tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. Something that probably only matters if you are Catholic or Christian. (When I was an active Baptist, we would giveContinue reading “March”

Prep Day – Built in Cope Ahead

I woke up this morning after staying up a bit late and ended up having myself a pack of the “instant” udon noodles. Shrimp flavor. These noodles are so nice and easy. It takes like 2 minutes to cook. I usually do my own instructions though. I add the powder to the water once itContinue reading “Prep Day – Built in Cope Ahead”

Self-Care and Practicing DBT

DBT Tools is one of my favorite websites when I need to reconnect with my DBT skills. I’ll admit, I haven’t really done any structured DBT work in a few months. I’m not sure if I can feel it. I had to do some self-reflection for this post to contemplate whether or not it wasContinue reading “Self-Care and Practicing DBT”

Library Day

I rushed out today thinking that I needed to be available at a certain time for my Psych doctor phone call appointment… but it’s tomorrow. Yay for losing track of days. What is today? A day. Like anything other days. Derp derp. Well, tomorrow I have my first appointment with the new Psychiatrist at theContinue reading “Library Day”

Happy Birthday to my Dad in Heaven

I added a bunch of music to my cellphone recently and was playing through it while driving. And my Dad’s custom ringtone popped up as a song and it nearly killed me. I pulled over and bawled like a baby. I’m making it through this month without any therapy. Normal grief is a bit hardContinue reading “Happy Birthday to my Dad in Heaven”

Manic Brain

I’ve hit one of those manic phases where I’m absolutely unproductive. I tried to ride the energy train and do as many things as I could, but now I’m just … so hyper. It’s not as bad as when I’m unmedicated, but the major ups and downs during bipolar are still pretty debilitating. So IContinue reading “Manic Brain”
