It Can't Just Be Me
When the pandemic started, I didn't really have a care in the world. I was happily (or so I thought) married, I had a great career that I had recently been promoted in, and I was healthy. What I did not know was that I would later be brutally attacked by my soon to be ex, lose my career inevitably because of her, and have to pack a bag with only one week's worth of clothing and run away to my friend's house.

Mine For The Day
Jeremiah sent me a text around ten o’clock the previous night to ask if I would like to join him the next morning to smoke weed and chill. We had already facilitated good vibes between us previously, so I said yes. What was the worst that could happen?

What Do A&D Look Like For You?
What a lot of individuals do now know is that Anxiety and Depression go hand in hand, a fact that a lot of people do not understand. Depression will have you too exhausted from nothing, really, and make you sleep all day. Anxiety will have your mind racing and make you stay up all night. For me personally, it starts with waking up. I hear my alarm go off and something inside me cries. I do not want to move, but I know that I have to. I have to get my day started, let my dog out, go to work, try not to appear lifeless so people do not ask me what is wrong, put on my best smile and deal with people I really do not want to be around, then I go home and do it all over again the next day.

Why I'm Not Upset
It has been a long road and a short road at the same time. I joined the military in 2016, hoping to acquire a new, independent lifestyle and get out of my parents' house. I got through boot camp, made my way through training for my job and headed out to the Fleet. I was so proud, serving my country, becoming a part of someting greater than myself for once. My ship was in the middle of a deployment, I had never been to the middle east before and I was always up for an adventure.
