I don’t really know where to begin. I’m 41, married with 3 kids. I use to be a special education teacher but after my first child was born I couldn’t leave her in daycare. I ended up eventually starting my own childcare in my home. I have been doing this for the past five years and have gone from watching one baby to many children over the years.

I’m an avid animal lover. I tend to prefer the animal variety to humans in fact. I have 3 crazy dogs and 2 cats. I volunteer at a horse rescue and dream of someday having my own horse. I advocate for animals whenever I can.

I’ve also struggled with depression and anxiety for many years, hence the title of my blog. I have also struggled with my weight since I was a child. I have lost and gained and most recently lost again. I’m hard on myself and don’t know if I ever really will be happy with myself.

I’m also a big empath and others weigh on me heavily. This has led me here. I have found that social media has me down lately due to all of the injustices of the world. It’s hard for me to read about the atrocities of the world because I want to fix them and I can’t!

I’m not here really to be read but more of as a way to decompress, to let things go or to help analyze myself. If your reading this, I hope I haven’t thoroughly confused you lol.

Thanks for joining me!
