Hi, friend! I am so glad you have stopped by my little corner of the internet. I hope you’ll take some time to look around and join our wonderful community of moms here as we learn to be better moms together!
I still remember 8 years ago as though it was yesterday, the day that I woke up and no longer felt safe within my skin.
It was the day I began to experience a fear unlike anything I'd ever known. A fear caused by nothing, soothed by nothing, and seemed to be my lifelong uninvited unwelcomed constant companion.
It was the day I no longer felt like me, and the day I wondered if I'd ever get back to me again....
My husband has seen me at my worst. And I am not talking about physical appearance with sweatpants and a messy bun. I could be wrong, but I think he enjoys me feeling comfortable around him in what I wear.
The topic of anxiety and worry is a fresh one for me. I both feel like I have something to offer on the topic, yet not because I still don't have a solid solution for handling my own worry.
But I have definitely learned a lot about how to cope with it.

Honestly, I have been living with anxiety nearly all my life. But it wasn’t until seven years ago that a doctor finally looked me in the eye and said, “You have an anxiety disorder.”
It comes and it goes. Sometimes I will drift through life for months happily, and I feel totally normal.
Then out of nowhere, it will come back. I have often said I would rather deal with almost anything than anxiety. It is dark, lonely, and crippling.
This past Thanksgiving our oldest child had a strange episode of double vision and dizziness. At first we weren't too concerned. But after it happened three more times at school, I gave in and googled the symptoms. And the worry started to creep in.
