Don't You Know I'm Loco?



Effexor, Seroquel, Latuda, Caplyta, Prozac, Cymbalta, Lexapro, Xanax and Valium; those are just some names of medications you may not know of or what they are for. If you do then you understand what a lot of people feel. Depression, overwhelming sadness, anxiety, hopelessness and more.


I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and 15, as years have gone by I also suffer from anxiety attacks. I hit a deep low in February. During the time of the low our psychiatrist retired (which was fine I didn't really like her). We have found a new one! The new Dr. I am still up in arms about. I like that they don't believe in over medicating. I like that they are all about alternative healing and natural supplements on top of needed medication though!


During this low I had no drive, no motivation, no feelings other than being depressed and feeling extremely overwhelmed! Hence why you haven't seen blog posts from me in forever.


I've stated before that I love to blog, which I do but when you don't even enjoy doing the things you normally do you just don't! Since the new medication change I am seeing I am finding the "JOY" in life again. Don't get me wrong I'm still going through stuff but I am also starting to do stuff I once liked.


I was always a reader even at a young age through my adolescent years. As an adult I have read though not as much as I would like. I finally grabbed my Kindle last week and started reading a book I have been wanting to read for a while which is Spells Trouble by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast. I only got to read twice last week but that's more than I am used to and hopefully will be picking it up again soon.


I haven't been to a gym in well I really don't know how long and I signed back up at Planet Fitness, my goal is to dedicate 3 days a week and if I can do more then GO ME!


I get to watch my granddaughter a lot during the week too which brings me a lot of joy even when I am down in the dumps.


I have been trying to get more time in the sun to soak in the Vitamin D and my plan is to start taking my yoga mat outside (weather permitting) and do some stretches, yoga and meditation.


I have a list of goals other than all that I have just stated that I really want to try to implement into my life, I want to find the JOY in every day!


With that being said I am going to start trying to blog again, it may not be every day and I think I am going to do some different things with the blog as well, all of the pages will remain to be able to look back on posts if readers want to but I may be doing different posts than you are use to along with the posts that you guys are use to seeing.


I hope everyone will still be here for the ride and enjoy what I do get to post about. Thank you all for your support and if you understand those meds and those feelings just know I AM HERE if you need someone to talk to!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
