People call me/I call myself Heather O.

I see myself as a woman who tries very hard to make those around her happy and who often sacrifices her own happiness in the quest, usually without realizing it until later.

If I thought you cared and you were listening, I would tell you that I wish I could run away from home and never come back. Just leave it all behind… throw my cell phone into a river and change my name… never look back.

I am struggling with trying to retain my own sanity while dealing with my boyfriend’s major depression and paranoid schizophrenia.

Something I have been keeping a secret is I want to cut myself every single day. I don’t, but I want to, and I miss it, every single day.

I am trying to think positive and something I’m good at is knitting beautiful things and telling my loved ones how incredibly special they are to me.

I love my daughters, more than anything.

I want people to know that I am not ashamed anymore of who I am and the mental illness that I deal with.

My blog is The Destiny Manifest.

If I thought you cared and you were listening, I would tell you I’m so tired, and I’m not sure how to keep going.

I am struggling with depression, exhaustion, and unemployment.

I love my son, kind people, and figuring things out.

People call me/I call myself jms.

I see myself as waiting to emerge? That means going somewhere. Out of the house I suppose, but some time somewhere huge and unexpected like I used to.

If I thought you cared and you were listening, I would tell you that I care deeply too. About everything.

I am struggling with fear of sudden loss. All of the time, and it is crippling.

I want people to know if you have to hold your breath to get through a day, you have to find somewhere to breathe. PTSD is not a common cold. What happened is real but what will happen can be better?

People call me/I call myself oldlinda.

I see myself as someone who has not even begun to tap the talents and abilities inside.

If I thought you cared and you were listening, I would tell you I need a friend. The kind that takes AND GIVES BACK. Not the ones that just take; I’ve had many of those. I have a need for a friend that will understand who I am and accept me anyway.

I am struggling with where to go next! In health, in talent, with my husband, with the last child at home. Most importantly, where do I want to go and what do I want to do next.

I am trying to think positive and something I’m good at is speaking in front of people. Give me a subject that I know, especially one I have a passion for, and I can speak for hours if allowed to.

I love life. That is an amazing thing for someone to say who has battled depression, bipolar disorder, dealt with OCD and panic attacks since I was in grade school. But finally I really feel that way more than I don’t.

I want people to know that we should not hide whatever our problems are. We should own them. Only then can we do anything about them.

My blog is thoughtsNspots and everyone is welcome!

I am struggling with depression and weight, i try so hard to act like i am handling everything and it is ok but it really isn’t.

I want people to know life is what you make of it, you have choices and they will affect everything else in your life. make a choice to be positive and happy. it can’t hurt anything to try.
