Somedays finding that small spark of hope that gives you a reason to keep fighting is harder than others.  But today I wanted to take a few minutes to encourage you to simply remember HOPE: Hold on, Pain ends.

Today has been one of those days that, well to be perfectly honest seriously sucked.
A day where it didn't seem to matter what I did I couldn't find a way out of my head. The thoughts/voices were in full force and the jumbled mess inside my brain was wreaking serious havoc.
After a few hours of dealing with the massive yo-yo mood swings from Hades finally just needed to get out of the house and headed over to Red Top Mountain.  

I know it's been a few weeks since I last updated the blog. I am still working toward creating new content to share here. Living with a mental illness can be a challenge. The truth is some days are just harder than others whether you're living with one or not.

My original plan for yesterday was to go for a hike after church but it didn't happen. Instead I spent most of the day hiding out in my room, curled up under the covers and trying to ignore the taunts inside my head.
