  • Staying Positive & Healthy

    First, I want to apologize for my absence. I can’t always get my thoughts organized enough to blog. I’ve also been quite busy living my life as much as I could, and being chronically overwhelmed. I feel like my ADHD has gotten significantly worse as I’ve gotten older so I’ve been struggling with that a…

  • Finding Myself Again

    Finding Myself Again

    At 42 years old I’ve finally figured out who I really am. I figured out what truly brings me joy, peace, happiness. I now know who I truly am inside, and I am always learning and evolving. Actually, I’ve been working on it for a few years, but I’m at a pretty good point in my self discovery. I…

  • Time for a Change

    Time for a Change

    After all this time of feeling better, I no longer feel right continuing my blog as person with a chronic illness. While my condition will never fully be “cured”, I feel like I exist more as a normal, healthy person. With that, I need to change the direction of my blogs a bit to reflect…

    One Year Later and Still Feeling Great!

    I haven’t posted anything in a bit. For that, I apologize. I’ve been quite busy with life. Especially since I am not sick anymore and I am actually able to be busy all day. It is a beautiful thing. It has been a little over a year since I’ve started experimenting with supplements and mushrooms.…

  • I’m Still So Amazed!

    It’s been about 6 weeks since my last post, so I wanted to update everyone on my progress. I’m still feeling pretty good overall. I have good energy and living like a normal person. I do notice however that during my PMS time, I feel a little off. I don’t feel great and I need…

    I Feel Like a New Person!

    I feel like a new person!! I keep trying to remind myself not to get too attached because I’m sure it is only temporary, but WOW!! I feel like I’ve been healed. I feel like a normal, healthy person. It feels too good to be true! I’ve actually cried from happiness, like a wish came…

  • Stuck in my Head

    Stuck in my Head

    I’ve always considered myself to be a reasonably smart, logical, well-balanced, normal kind of person. Everything made sense in my world and I was like most other people in the world (so I thought). Now I question my entire existence. All of those things that made me ME, I now realize are not normal. I…

    Feeling Very Proud of Myself

    Why am I so proud you ask? Well, last week I did a thing. I was independent and strong and I took 2 of my kids to the Museum of Natural History in NYC without Eddie coming to help me. It was a big trip for me to do without help. We had a 60…

    Vacation, Covid, then Flare

    We recently returned from a 10 day family vacation. It was a lot of work, but enjoyable. Of course, I pushed myself too hard and I’m paying for it now. No surprise there. We’ve been back about 2 weeks now and half of us tested positive for Covid. It started with my youngest while we…

    One Month In

    It’s been about a month since starting my experiment. Today is day 3 between doses. I get to take my magical micro dose tomorrow, and I am very much looking forward to it. Today I am feeling a little extra tired. I am disappointed that my energy isn’t holding up as well as the first…
