Guided by prompts from WDC blogging challenges... and of course, life

HI! I'm Jenn - and I'm all over the place (well, at least my mind is). In this blog, I have attempted to gather my thoughts on things prompted/inspired by WDC blogging challenges from "Journalistic Intentions"

, "The Soundtrack of Your Life"

, "Blogging Circle of Friends "

, "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"

and, well, LIFE.

Signature for those who are nominated for a Quill Award in 2021

In response to "What Goes Up Must Come Down"

Hey, My heart goes out to you. I can relate. I'm Bipolar also. They diagnosed me as manic-depressive years ago, but it still took years for a diagnosis. I'm doing much better these days, but still have my highs and lows. The combination of Lexapro and Abilify has been the greatest help. I've tried a lot of different medication combos, and I have to say that just adding Abilify has helped me greatly!

My furbabies are everything to me. They're always near. I have two terrier-mix little girls. I wouldn't even want to think of what life would be like without them. They may be dogs, but they're good for hugs, cuddling, and talking to. They've been with me through thick and thin.

You're so right, they are definitely perceptive. They know when you need extra attention, and they know when to keep an eye out for you. They are definitely a blessing from God.

If you ever need to talk or just rant, feel free to write me.

I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks for reading and understanding, it means a lot. And I agree, my fur-boys are definitely gifts from God too!

LeJenD, you're not by yourself. I've battled depression in cycles throughout my life so far. I think in some ways, it's hereditary. As an adult, I have become convinced, that my Mom had undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder. When she was feeling "good," she'd take my brother and me to "the big town" to play all day. When she was feeling "bad," I had my hands full counseling her for hours. Who knew that wasn't a teenager's job?

Poetry has become such a balm for my soul. The depression is still there, but it seems to bring some level of relief when I put my feelings down in a poem. Amazingly enough, some of my best poetry has been written when I was depressed. The Lord has graciously given me the gift of poetry.

BTW, dogs are quite perceptive animals. Mine is lying on the floor near me as I write. I think she's a gift from God, too.

Feel better! Get lots of rest and drink more water than you can stand.

PROcrastinator

PROMPT September 17th
Do you procrastinate? We all do to one extent or another.
What doubts or excuses could you let go of to help you become more consistent and minimize procrastination?

I think everyone procrastinates at one point or another. I procrastinated about finding another job for a while. My excuses to myself were my disabilities, my social anxiety, my doctor appointments. But when I finally bit that bullet and went and got another job, I loved it. I lived to be in a science lab teaching my students the subject I have such passion for. And it worked out for a while - until it didn't. Such is life. Now, I don't really have any excuses. I'll get around to stuff when I get around to it, whenever I remember to do it and feel like doing it. But I have never had this luxury before now. I always had to Adult. But now I find myself coming up with excuses as to why I should ignore all my doctors and attempt to get another job. Doing nothing has been driving me nuts. I can tell it is affecting my mental well being. I sometimes wish I could put off not doing anything. There's only so much doing nothing a girl can handle before she cracks again. I need to get out and do something to save myself from the pit of despondency that I am feeling myself being sucked into again.
