I have mental illness. Depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder to be exact. I also struggle with infertility, and chronic health problems like fibromyalgia. I am a survivor of abuse. I am an advocate against drunk driving after the death of my mother when I was two years old.
Having fun yet?
I fell on the blogging wagon after I got married in 2004. It was a place I could talk about life.
In 2010 after a mental breakdown, I used blogging as a source of healing as I fought back against my mental illness and learned to live happily.
I use humor, honesty and awkwardness to fight my disease, to find beauty in life, and to deal with other daily struggles that come my way. Because life is funny. And sad days become a little brighter when you get to share with the internet what the X-Men and your yearly pap smear have in common, how your husband spent twenty minutes talking to his mother about caulk, or the possibility of cancer detecting genitals.
Some people think I'm funny.
I think I'm hungry.
My husband thinks I should stop blogging and make him a sandwich.
