Did I just throw the "softest birthday party ever?

Did I just throw the "softest birthday party ever?" 🦄 Can confirm. 🤣I surprised Dana with a Letterkenny themed party this year along with his very own Bonnie McMurray (@kamillakowal) to serve him a Puppers. Did he love it? That's a Texas sized 10-4. 🥰 Anyone that watches that show would get all the references I plastered around the house. Allegedly.Happy 38th birthday, babe! I'm glad you enjoyed your day cause I couldn't think of a better way to celly, boys. Ferda. 😉@letterkennyproblems

Good morning from Cinder! 🥰😽

I've recently begun taking a low dose SSRI for PMD

I've recently begun taking a low dose SSRI for PMDD/depression, & while it's not necessarily everyones business to know this information... I mean, it's me. Open book. And spoiler alert: these medicines work. 🤣It's amazing how you can walk around under a dense cloud for years & not even become truly aware of it until one day the fog is debilitating. In the past month, I've finally admitted to myself & everyone around me that something was terribly wrong. I journal daily, & those old journal entries are painful for me to read. Thank God for doctors/nurses/NPs that listen closely & offer help to we that are hurting.As it says in my Cognitive Behavioral Therapy workbook, "PMDD is to PMS what major depression is to feeling 'depressed' when one's favorite team loses." 👏👏👏 All this to say, if you have PMDD, DO NOT IGNORE IT and don't let anyone dismiss it as PMS. Well meaning people who just wish to empathize and give me assurance that I'm not alone have pushed my legitimate pain and concerns aside for years, telling me it's "normal." Finally, I found a doctor that listened and diagnosed me with PMDD, moderate depression, panic disorder, & anxiety. And I've gotten help.In my haze, I've caused destruction. Said things I can't take back but things I can at least attempt to apologize for. I've ignored friends without becoming aware that I've done it. I felt alone for so long, even in conversations & even when my body was physically present with friends. But once the fog lifted I discovered something beautiful-- the people I love never left my side, even if I couldn't see them. The density of my depression blocked them from view, but now that I see the sun again, I see their faces smiling back.I made this art journaling page the day I took my first pill. I held it in my hand crying that I didn't want to need it. But once I took it, relief. I was proud of myself for calling it quits on the mind games I was playing with myself. The "just meditate." The "exercise more and you'll feel better." The thousands of dollars on alternative treatments just to avoid the stigma of a pill I swore I'd never take. But Prozac won. I won. And everyone else did, too. I'm back. ❤

I got this journal a while back, but it hasn't bee

I got this journal a while back, but it hasn't been used because 1. The leather absolutely stunk to the point of triggering a migraine when I first unwrapped it (like what on earth chemicals did they soak this in?!)... and 2. I didn't care for the paper inside because I'm picky. 😉 But after a month or two of airing out the stank, I think I figured out how to use it. I was already planning on making a mini album using @maggiehdesign Garden Party collection to document this years gardening with the girls, and now I've got the perfect cover. Time to take this leather book apart and rebind it using the papers from the collection! I'll show ya when I'm done... whenever that may be. 😋 Anyways, happy Monday! Hope you all have a great start to the week! ❤#maggieholmesgardenparty #cratepaper #memorykeeping #minialbum
