What this is about:

This blog is for everyone but particularly those people who are having a difficult time with self-injury, recovery, anxiety and depression. But this is not an anxious depressing blog; this is about living and surviving and making it through the worst of it. This is about getting help.

What to say...

Hola compadres,

So I'm not much a "sharer" and I am in no way interested in chatting about about how shitty life is and how sad we all are.  This is a blog about surviving.  Surviving.  What are we surviving?  Everything!  Religion, relationships, social interaction, anxiety, depression, self-injury, normalness, geekdom, etc.  You name it.  I'm everything I just listed-anxious, religious, socially anxious, a self-injurer, depressed, normal and a total geek.

That's what I want to talk about and that's what I want you to talk about.  What do you like?  What do you love?  What is your most difficult struggle right now?  Why are you on the internet looking for someone to talk to?

When I am home alone and I don't have anyone to talk to where do I go?  That's right, I search the internet.  And I know I'm not alone.  So don't worry, you aren't alone either.  If you read what I write that's awesome but I'd much rather read what you have to say.  Because I've read a LOT of blogs and none of them have addressed what I've been looking for: a happily married Catholic woman who struggles with anxiety, depression and self-injury.  I've laid it all out for your entertainment, feel free to laugh admist all the seriousness.

I'm full of shit-I know it and I'm not afraid.  Please, don't be scared to be yourself either.

Jackie
