The Schizophrenic Mom
Bio
I am a mother of 2 precious angels who drive me slightly more crazy
than I already am with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:
"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL

New Year's Resolution Check-In
I recently realized that I never submitted this... whoops! I wrote this for the time period of January 1st to March 24th. Back in January, I started a different take on having a resolution. I choose one word to work towards. My word was "Success."

Re-Introducing Myself
I am a mother of two happy, healthy, and adorable children who happens to also have schizophrenia. I enjoy writing and enjoy to write about motherhood, mental health, religious views, and other random “adulting” subjects here on this blog as well as publishing books on the subject (Whispers of Strength, Whispers of Prayer) and publishing science fiction books: (Time In Space, Return to Space). I hope and pray that I can make a difference in the views of others who seem to agree with all of the articles in a Google search engine that talk about how horrible it is to know or be a schizophrenic – let alone have one be a mother.

Day 1 of 3 questions
I wanted to start working on my business again, but didn't quite know where to go from the new start in my life. I am trying to find myself again and learn who I am now. So, I came across this journal challenge and wanted to give it a try. See if I can learn more about the new person I am becoming... the person that my tribe of friends is surprisingly protective of because I am apparently glowing again and they don't want anyone to dim my light again. ;-)

Random Thoughts
As I took a few minutes to breath after an emotional day, I stared up at the clouds blowing across the horizon. Earlier I had been so blissfully happy. I had joked with Mom and laughed so hard that I was almost embarrassed by my childlike joy out in public. Halfway through that trip to the store, I distanced myself from Mom and calmed myself down. Remembering how if I acted like that, no one would take me seriously and that no guy will touch me if I am overly joyous combined with how young I look. Or at least that was what /he/ said again and again...

In Memoriam. Content Warning.
Tomorrow is Monday, but it is a special day: Memorial Day. So many of my friends and acquaintances celebrate having a long weekend and I get it, in our busy society, the days available to be with family and just breath are few and far between.

Writer's Block. Content Warning.
I have been struggling with writer's block for a few months now, but the last 2 months have been worse than normal. I know that I have been having a lot of emotions, and that I try to avoid the intense emotions, but today in therapy, my therapist asked me if I wanted the things that have happened to be my fault.

A Slow Sunday
So last night I had a self-proclaimed "night-howler" up in the middle of the night for a few hours and didn't get my full amount of sleep, but hey... that is normal around here. I was surprised, however, when no one woke me up at the crack of dawn!
