Overcoming Suicide

Hey there awesome people! This week has literally flown by. Good grief. I am quickly nearing the end of the semester, and I can feel all of the things. All the feelings. Stress, anxiety, all of it. So, yeah. This week has been really busy. It is the last week of my final 5 week online class, so I'm ready to be done. This week has been okay, emotionally. It was a rough first few days, but I'm feeling better. Yesterday was really fun. I went to campus in the morning, to film a lesson plan. Yes, I enjoyed it, no, I didn't want to do it. Anyways, after that was done, I met up with Lissie, and she took me to get a pumpkin from the library to decorate. After meeting with Nate, Micah, Jordan, and LeAnne, we got carving. Well, they got carving. I hyper-extended my thumb again on Monday, so we agreed that it was better if I didn't use a knife. So, I painted instead. Lissie was nice enough to draw the Harry Potter logo on my pumpkin, and then I painted it in. After painting for a

Hey everybody! Bet y'all thought I forgot about y'all! Nope, just forgot to post. Life has been really busy. Sorry about that. Anyways, these past couple of weeks have been good. I got to celebrate Bridey on the 11th, and it was so much fun to see her light up when I gave her the present I got her. I am so blessed to have her in my life. I also got to go to a couple of her games that Friday and Saturday. She didn't play, but I still wanted to support her. I mean, come on. She's my sister. Anyways, fall break was this week, and I got to have her over Monday night for my birthday on Tuesday. That was a ton of fun. I had a bonfire with a bunch of my friends, and was so happy to see them. My friends also gave me some of the most thoughtful things. They didn't have to, but they did anyways. My top three favorites (even though I love them all) were a stuffed Toothless from LeAnne, books from Bridey, and a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter from Rinney!! YOU GUYS!

Hey guys! I hope y'all's week has been pretty good. This week has been an emotional roller coaster, and it has been really hard on my system. Halloween decorations are everywhere, so I am fighting on a daily basis not to have a panic attack. I will be so happy when this season is over. Also this week, I had a panic attack. In the middle of a lab. So, yeah. Not the best day. I am so thankful for Nikki though. She was texting me because she was across the room and could tell something wasn't right. After taking the quiz that had to be done, I had to leave, and she came out a little bit after to calm me down. We walked outside and she helped ground me by pointing out things to see, smell, feel, hear, and taste. Thankfully, this wasn't a major panic attack, so I was able to calm down after a few minutes. Thursday, I went to see a new counselor. It went well, and I hope I can continue to have meetings with them. I told my mom after I went, and she said she hopes it doesn'

Hey everybody! Hope y'all's week has been good. Sorry for the late post, but maybe I should change my post date to Sunday, since I forget to post on Saturdays now. I dunno. Anyways, this week has been really busy. My second 5 week class started this week, and I have had a lot going on. Geology is not my favorite subject. I didn't do so well on the tests these past couple weeks, so I'm kinda not happy about that. Work has been going well. I've been kept busy, so the time there just flies by. Bridey had a soccer game on Friday, so I went to watch after work. She didn't play, but it was great to go and support her anyways because she's my favorite goalie. Just saying. We have a study date today, so that's gonna be fun. Last night was really great. Micah had to get rid of the couch he built our of pallets, so we burned half of it. Lissie wanted the other half. It was a beautiful night, and the bonfire just made it so much better. I hadn't really been tha
