Intro

Every morning, I wake up with an overwhelming sense of impending doom. Laundry, dishes, daycare, dress, work, dinner, repeat. Every day it is the same schedule, and every day I fight the sense of feeling like this is all too much.

Within five minutes, I feel incredible happy-I am a morning person, no doubt. I brew my coffee, browse social media, and begin to assemble myself for the day.

It is at this point that I begin to feel anxiety. I have to get the child ready, I have to walk the dog, I have to, have to, have to....

I have to breathe.

I am a 25 year-old person, who is living with Bi-Polar disorder. I am a single mom (although, I do not do it alone) and I am working full time and in the process of going back to school. I am proud of myself for my accomplishments, but

there are many days where I wake up, feeling alone and wondering about all the other people that wake up with the same sense of impending doom that I do.

So here I am. I am going to be that person for all of the other people like me. This is a place for me to express my mood swings and find companionship in my own experiences. I have always used writing as an outlet-through poetry, a variety of different blogs (although the content in previous blogs are reeking with my age and immaturity) and short stories from the time I COULD write. Now, I have intention. My intention is to help people, including myself.

So I hope I can help you. Whether that be insight on the life of a single-parent, co-parenting, or even persons living with bi-polar disorder. I just want to help and to be helped.


Shaye out.
