Sometimes Facebook’s “On This Day” Feature Brings Unexpected Clarity

Sometimes Facebook’s “On This Day” Feature Brings Unexpected Clarity

Memories come from nowhere sometimes. And then there’s Facebook’s “On This Day” thing which puts them front and center. This morning, I was minding my own business, flipping through my timeline when the notification popped up. I generally like to peruse the memories and laugh or cringe or whatever. Today, my memory timeline was full […]

A terrible person wrote something stupid and the backlash was glorious.

A terrible person wrote something stupid and the backlash was glorious.

Late last night, I was scrolling through Twitter, exhausted but just not quite ready to go to sleep. I came across a tweet that I can no longer find because it has been buried by a deluge of similar sentiments, all aimed at an article on xoJane.com that says a former friend of the author […]

Bits of Randomness

Bits of Randomness

Life is hard right now, as I mentioned last week. I’d love to pour out my soul onto the keyboard and tell you all about the struggles I’m facing right now, but I just can’t. Not yet. Not in this space. So you’re getting some randomness instead. Just some thoughts and updates and whatnot that […]

Sometimes Life is Hard

Sometimes Life is Hard

Last week was Spring Break at the college where I work, and as is tradition, I took the week off. For several months, Chris and I toyed with the idea of taking a quick trip to Arizona to catch some Spring Training games, but finances made that not feasible and we didn’t end up going. […]

Is it the weekend yet?

Is it the weekend yet?

So I typed up this whole post and was ready to publish it and WordPress ate it. It’s been a bad day so far. Hell, it’s been a bad WEEK so far. Is it really only Wednesday? So far my week has consisted of: Being forced out of the office I’ve had to myself for three […]

Lately

Lately

The last couple of weeks have been a real struggle for me. Which I know I’ve mentioned once or twice. For reasons I can’t get into on such a public forum, I am really not enjoying my 8to5 anymore. I used to take pride in my work, used to love my coworkers, used to find […]

Off the meds and off my rocker.

July 1, 2015 by Karen M. Peterson 6 Comments

Off the meds and off my rocker.

It’s been awhile since I wrote about my brain and my mental health. Today feels like the right day to do it. Because right now? I’m feeling all the things. And I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. A few months ago, I mentioned that I talked to Dr. Batman about the […]

The things I think about at 2 in the morning.

The things I think about at 2 in the morning.

It’s going on 2 am and I’m awake for no other reason than that I feel like it, thankyouverymuch. I stayed up to finish reading The Girl on the Train because I just HAD TO KNOW who did it– (AND I was right, thankyouverymuch) –and then I finished reading the book hours ago and opened […]

It Gets Better

It Gets Better

I was talking to my best good friend Emily last night when it occurred to me that I haven’t talked about my mental health in quite awhile. I’ve tried to be really open about the fact that I live with Major Depressive Disorder and General Anxiety Disorder. And a couple of years ago, I was […]

Musical Mondays: Secrets

Musical Mondays: Secrets

I don’t often participate in a lot of blog hops anymore, and I only occasionally do this one, but there’s a song that has been stuck in my head for the past couple of weeks. I absolutely love it for all of its empowering goodness. And in the wake of last week’s sorrows, I think […]
