What Would You Do?

Hello!

   What Would You Do? is a fantastic television show. I always love seeing people do the right thing and step in when needed. They do a great job on making sure there are an array of situations. I always hope I'd be the person to step up and say something if need be, but honestly I have so much anxiety I don't know if I could. I think it would depend on the situation of course. Somethings I definitely would take action. I hope...

   I don't know, I don't even like confrontation with someone I know well.  One part of this episode is 2 girls trying to push diet pills on their heavier friend. I don't think I'd say anything because I'd be scared that the girls (14  years old, do I remind you) would start yelling at me. But I think if I were with a group of friends we would totally say something. Power in numbers as they say. But if I were alone I don't think I'd say anything. Which makes me feel bad for being that person that'd turn their cheek.

   BUT I do 100% think I would help someone if it was something that was putting them in danger or someone was attacking them. If I couldn't help myself, I would at least call 911 and find help. The next situation on this episode is a minor meeting someone they met online and the person ends up being a creepy adult who lied.  Basically catfishing with underagers! I would defiantly be like "Go away, I'm calling the police" and grab the child to wait with me. I think that is just common sense because hello! Child predators, human/sex trafficking and all that horrible stuff goes in this world, and if I can prevent that, I will do anything I can!

Blizzard

   As the first snow of 2016 comes falling down I think to myself, this winter is so much different from last years. I was having major anxiety and depression and doubting myself if I could ever change. I had the tough conversations about changing to improve my life. It was so scary to face my issues head on and talk aloud about my problems especially with the ones I love who I didn't want to see me that way. It felt defeating to admit it because I kept trying to pretend it was all okay or just ignoring my problems all together.

   And now, I watch outside my bedroom window and I see the flakes blowing all around and shaking the trees about, my dog is snuggled up next to me to stay warm and the cat is in a little ball sleeping. I can say in this moment I feel content. I've progressed. Of course I still have more to work on but I've taken the steps necessary to move forward in my life. It is hard, and I'll always having something to push through but I've accomplished one big hurdle this year and by next winter I hope to be even further in my goals, no matter how hard it is.

Valentine's Day Decor

Added a few touches in the kitchen and living room to add a little love around! Used a pitcher I got from Sean's sister and threw some Dollar Store roses in it. Decorated the chalk boards with hearts and such. I put out my small $1 "xoxo" and "love" signs I got at Target in that little cheap section last year. Always check there for some decorations and other random stuff. I always get festive socks from there which are a buck! Then I added some window gel stickers to the window above the sink. I change it for every holiday! On my mantel in the living room I hung up felt heart garland and a "Smooch" sign in the middle. I might do more next year, but I didn't have anything else to decorate it with. And finally our valentine's mailbox! Which Eddy is modeling with today! Haha!

The Big Bipolar Race

   Brains can be very annoying if you have bipolar disorder for many reasons. I mean there is good stuff too, don't get me wrong! But one thing that drives me nuts about how my brain works is that my mind won't shut up! Trying to sleep when your mind keeps racing is frustrating. Sometimes I get so mad and annoyed by it that I start to cry. Tossing and turning for hours as your thoughts jump from one topic to another. I get very obsessive with things.

   Last night my mind couldn't stop planning my home makeover, it sounds dumb but I just kept thinking, thinking, thinking. What color should I paint the bathroom? When are we redoing the tile? I need to finish the kitchen though! Where should I get the wall decor? Michaels or Target? Maybe I should paint the cabinets white, maybe black? Crap! I should finish the bedroom, we haven't done anything in here! We need a headboard, ohhh and we need new bedding! But our furniture is all mismatched, it doesn't look good... maybe I should just paint it! Can you paint Ikea furniture? Maybe I can buy new stuff that matches... I don't have the money for that!

   I just wish I could turn off a switch so I could get a good night's sleep. This happens most nights. With topics varying from things currently going on in my life or things from when I was in high school. Replaying, replaying, replaying. I'll think the same thought 20 times in a row. Sometimes I think maybe I should get sleeping pills so I can get some sleep but then I hear people can become dependent on those and never get good sleep without them! I definitely don't want that!

   Well, eventually I make it to the finish line and fall asleep, but the race there is exhausting and emotionally draining at times. Sometimes I don't want to run a 5k, sometimes I want to pass out the moment my head hits the pillow.

I'm So Fancy

You already know...

   My bestie, Alex for Christmas got me giant blinged out emerald earrings for fancy occasions and since I probably won't get a chance to wear them for a while I decided that our hanging out watching Netflix was the perfect setting to look fancy! Pjs and bling is the new thing!
