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!

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
