I’ve seen my psychiatrist 3 times in the last 7 days. And I don’t mean a friendly wave in the waiting room. I mean 3 grueling 30 minute sessions of face to face problem solving. He’s not even my real psychiatrist. Well he was until he stopped seeing patients. Turns out he’s filling in for […]
Finally Free
I want to write a poem, But I don’t know where to start. Life before you, life without you, Or when it fell apart. You’ve stolen oh so much from me. My worth, my heart, my time. You’ve stolen my identity, It’s like I’ve lost my mind. I used to be so brave […]
When Recovery Gets Boring
“I’m bored.” That’s what I told my therapist. “What’s boring?” she replied. “Recovery. Recovery is boring.” And it’s true. When I was in the throws of my illness, I was enveloped with insanity.

My Deep Dark Secret
“I want to write but I have nothing to write about,” I said to my mom. “Brittany, you always have something to write about,” she replies. Hmm. What to write about. I start a few rough drafts but nothing really feels right. It’s just not working for me. “Why not?” I think to myself. Because […]
An Open Letter to My Psychiatrist
Dear Psychiatrist, It was an ordinary appointment. Nothing special at all. Until the end. When you said you had something to tell me. Then I got scared. Not because I didn’t know what was coming, but because I did. I knew what you were going to say before you said it. “I’ve been given a […]
Just Not Today
I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve been struggling. When I was experiencing that intense anxiety a few weeks ago, I had a hard time eating. My stomach was a mess. Well my anxiety is better, but I guess I got into some bad habits. Eating full meals is a challenge again. And it’s […]
