Persevere

Anxiety is gonna be the death of me.  Seriously!  I drink water and/or diet coke when I am anxious, the more anxious I am the more I drink, it's a vicious cycle.  Yesterday I filled my 52oz mug at least 8 times while I was at work :-(  Luckily it was just water, but I was in the potty every 15 minutes.  I don't know what I was so anxious about, it just happens.  Today I was feeling anxious but I walked around the building (inside) instead of drinking.  It is 2:38 right now and I've only refilled my mug about 2x today.  It has taken a lot for me not to keep filling it but I am trying awfully hard to not drink so much, yesterday I literally was water logged I drank so much water, I could feel it sloshing around, and I was nauseated from drinking so much water.

So I think I have been doing a little better in the past few days besides the anxiety.  I feel happier, and feel pretty good.  I have to say that I am grateful for my sister.  She is my 'sponsor' and she calls me every day.  It is great to be able to talk to her about my day and listen to her about her day.  It is really helpful to me.  I tend to hold things back and not express everything, even with my husband and even with my counselor.  It is something I am working on.  I am trying to express myself more.  In my opinion everyone with a mental health disorder should have a sponsor they check in with every day.  It is so helpful.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

  Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
