A lot of people do not realize this about me, but I have been struggling with anxiety since kindergarten and depression since I was ten. May is mental health awareness month, and the time I finally finished a year at USF. Honestly this last year was really tough and my depression and anxiety were relentless, but I want to thank everyone who has helped me with the fight especially @mdarowiche . I can’t wait to see what happens next as @jaredpadalecki says “always keep fighting” #mentalhealthmonth #akf #alwayskeepfighting #mentalhealthawareness #endthestigma #depression #anxiety #iammorethanmyillness

What a great first submission to the #SeeMeStand campaign! Make sure to post your photos on social media and we might just repost it! 👍 #Repost @becoming_becca.again_ (@get_repost) ・・・ SEE ME STAND. I am taking a stand with @tlcbfrb and all my other fellow warriors that struggle on a daily basis with BFRBs (Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors). These disorders include skin picking and scratching, hair pulling, and nail chewing/biting. They are "complex disorders that cause people to repeatedly touch their hair and body in ways that result in physical damage (tlcbfrb)." They are painful, distracting, and often times cause damage. As someone who personally struggles with Dermatillomania/Excoriation Disorder I want to raise awareness and bring awareness to these disorders and other BRFBs. To get involved, go to @tlcbfrb IG page and click the link in their bio or go to brfb.org to not only learn more about the movement, but to also submit a photo of yourself with the words #seemestand or with @tlcbfrb'w free downloadable sign. #brfb #tlcbfrb #dermatillomania #trichotillomania #iammorethanmyillness #seemestand

The last few days have been hard on me. I am pushing through the pain from my crazy-loose joints, hands swelling, and readying myself to have all my upper teeth extracted in preparation for implants. I feel overwhelmed, so I took off for a walk the other day with music pounding in my earphones, and I felt better. I did it again today at the beach. I spent the rest of the day doing a bit of yoga and sketching new designs. Taking time to improve how I feel mentally, emotionally and physically is the only way I can keep creating, so if it means a couple days a week away from the bench, then so be it. My next update will be full of pieces inspired by my beach walks, spring flowers and rebirth. I look forward to a full day at the bench, tomorrow. Remember, if you are feeling depressed, sluggish, just blah, take time for you! I love being a smith, but I miss reading, writing, sketching, and just taking time to go for a walk. I want to keep improving myself in every way! Blessings to you all! 🙏💕🔮💜🙌🏻 #selflove #depressionwarrior #recoveringanorexic #ehlersdanlostype3 #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #iammorethanmyillnesses #strongereverday #loveyourself #taketimetorelax #exerciseforhealth #beachlife #ladysmith #thatpoorjellyfish😢 #takecareofyourself #blessingsloveandlight #carouscuriosities #carouscuriousjewelry (at Gulf Islands National Seashore...Opal Beach)

The perfect example of my Bipolar Mind. One was a few days ago?...maybe..??? (My memory is bad today) The other is today. I hadn't realized I'd put then in groups till this picture either. The scattered one is my low days. When I just don't care. The other more neatly stacked is today when I feel, anxious and jittery. #bipolar2 #bipolardisorder #IAmMoreThanMyIllness

An open letter

For three years now you have been a part of my life. Almost every day of those three years you have tried to ruin me. You have belittled me. You have bullied me. You have made me paranoid. You have stripped me of my self confidence. You have taken more than I could give.

You made me lose myself. You pryed open my deepest darkest secrets and you used them against me. You told me that everyone hated me. You told me that my friends & family would be better off without me, that the world would be better off without me. You told me that I should kill myself. You told me that you were the only one who had always been there for me. And, maybe, in some way you were right.

You've been by my side all three years. There were days where I thought you were gone for good, that I was finally free. You proved me wrong. There were times where I had hope & joy and you stole that tiny shred of positivity before any words could even leave my mouth.

You may think that you have won. That by now we're only days away from the inevitable, but now it's my chance to prove you wrong. You are only as strong as I let you be. I forgot that for three years, but I've remembered it now and I will never forget it again.

I will not be belittled any longer. I will not be stripped of my hope and my pride. I will not submit.
