Ghosts

Cold ghosts from the grave

Clawing up with rose colored glass

Only to slither under skin

Feeling warm, then reminds of sin

Come at me, defiant one

Trick me with your violent pun

For I will always see

The truth in you

Blackened

Fetching

Luring

The prince you think you are

Not true

For you

Are nothing; death destroying

Disguised as diamonds

Under rotting flesh

Stealing from others

Incapable of feeling

Light shines through your guise

For in reality you are far from wise

So try as you may, to sway and disguise

Truth will prevail

It will be you who dies.

Ghosts from the past

Just words

greyscale photography of woman wearing long sleeved top

This post is just words. No business additions or anything, not even an seo plug-in because I’m doing it from my phone.

I am so spent. Put a fork in me, I’m done. My heart hurts, my mind feels broken, I’m tired, and my body hurts. The constant arrows of imposter syndrome are beating at my usually impenetrable shield, and I feel like I’m watching myself slowly fall down a steep hill, trying to grab onto anything to slow the slide.

I’ve blogged about this before. There’s so much that frustrates me about mental illness. These cycles are exhausting and I don’t like it. I want to sleep, but can’t. I want to feel happiness, but don’t most of the time.

Some days I just don’t understand why this keeps happening. In the same thought, I’m telling myself that it happens because you’re a crazy person with mental health issues, with no direct support. (Like a human being close to me type of thing). Then I start thinking that this is too much for anyone to have to deal with, so they are better off away from me. THEN my brain goes back to “But you’re only a flawed human being, you can’t be fixed”.

I am starting to believe that. There is no fixing this, it’s just a constant barrage of ups and downs and the struggle to cope. This is where it gets rough. This is where, in the past I have fallen head first into addiction to numb the feelings. I’m not doing that, in case you were wondering… I’ve beat that demon back into the pit of hell this time. Thank God.

This is where the morbid thoughts start creeping in the background of my mind, poking and prodding.

So I’m writing. This is why I created this site almost 10 years ago. As a therapy tool to help me get through the tough times. There have been many tough times, and I’ve put it all out here in the interwebs of digital outer space. I’ve shared it all, from the beginning, to why and how I’m trying to make life better.

But today…. Yesterday, the day before… couple weeks before…it’s been a struggle. I have a toolbox of coping skills, and they are being used, but sometimes I’m just all out of spoons.

Exhausting, depressive, mind numbing. I hope it passes soon. I have work to do.

Depression and anxiety suck

Depression and anxiety suck.

Depression and anxiety sucks, and I have been dealing with it since I was 9 years old.

I have many hours in with my therapist, and many coping skills in my tool box. But there are some days that even that doesn’t work very well. In those cases I need to step away from all social media, my business, and go out and be in nature, and just sit. That may sound crazy, but it works for me.

There are also ways you can have tools readily available from you phone, or computer.

I have been researching mental health options and want to share them here. I will ad more to this post as I find programs, because everyone is different, and so are some of the mental health programs that are available to us.

The most important thing to remember is to REACH out for help when you need it. Doesn’t matter how, or who, just ask for help. Don’t struggle alone. There is always someone out there that can relate and that you can talk to.

Panic Away is an option for you that I’m sharing now. Try it out.

Don’t give up, you are on this planet for a reason. Find your reason.

There are treatments for depression and anxiety, and learning how to treat your symptoms of anxiety and depression is key to being able to find some sort of ”normalcy” in your life. Whatever normal is.

This is so cool…T-Shirts, mugs, masks, phone cases, stickers….

Lookie lookie!!! 😁

I’ve created a print on demand store, to generate more passive income.

It’s fairly easy to do.

Do you have a cool picture? Wanna put it on different items and sell it?

It costs nothing to create a shop on this site. Which is super cool.

Check this out! I’ve got my horse on an iphone case! Fashizzle!

Also, I have one with my cat, Simba…yea yea, I know I’m weird, but my cat is weirder. He LOVES spicy cheetos, and the white cheddar cheetos. Whenever he hears me get the bag, he plops himself right in front of me and stares until I throw him one. So, that’s why his t-shirts look like this. (Click the red words to see Simba’s tshirt.)

I do realize that I’m probably going to be the only one who buys one, but I DON’T CARE… I love it. lol

This is so cool.. Look for more items in the coming weeks!

Peace

Blog updates

Just wanted to go over a few things about navigating my site.

To the right of my page, there is a search bar, you can type in your search criteria, and find what you are looking for.

Alternatively, there is an archives list as well to the right, if you scroll further down, along with a category list.

At the top (on a desktop) there are my pages that go over income disclaimers, my business tools, favorites, home, etc.

On mobile, there are lines at the upper right, that will bring a drop down menu, so you can choose which page you want to navigate to, the search bar is on the bottom of the page on the mobile version.

Hope this helps!

Sell your awesomness!!

Soooo…as a part of my transparency on building a business online, I have started a project that will teach newbies how to build a website from scratch.

I’m pretty familiar with WordPress, and I wanted to use another platform to build out a brand new site. So I chose Wix. (Sorry WordPress… but you will be the next course creation. 😊)

There is a great platform called Udemy, where you can create a course, upload it, and then sell it. Once you create the course, that’s it… it becomes completely passive income after that.

I’m really wanting to create as much passive income as I can. I will take on a SMALL number of clients for mentoring/coaching, but I want the bulk of my income to come from me sleeping. lol….

This works people, I’m making money.

I really like to write, which is why I have this blog. (Since 2013). I want to share with other people how the process works, and I’m learning as I go.

I will admit, it’s been a bit more time consuming than I first thought, but that’s totally ok! I learn best by doing.

I’ve also shared that I struggled with mental health diagnosis, and I’ll just say that some days I have a hard time functioning. I go through major depressive episodes, I have PTSD and struggle with the symptoms of that. I have body image issues that I struggle with, and it’s just hard some days.

I also am one of those people who get into the ”flow”, and then I’ll work on my business for hours and hours.. this is NOT A GOOD THING for me. I have to learn to manage my time better.

I’m going to share a couple of personal videos of me, and the things that I enjoy, and that bring me happiness. These are my reasons ”why” I started my online business journey. They will be the next posts.

Happy Friday y’all! Make it a great weekend.

✌️
