What keeps me Calm ..

I get irritated rather easily, just about anything can trigger it. I don't shy away from the fact I never really wanted the responsibility of having children. But, as I often say, things happen for a reason, my children are 17 years apart. I started completely over at the age of 40.5, but I have the 2nd for a reason, unbeknownst to me. 

With that being said, we all know children test us greatly as parents, relatives, etc. That is a huge trigger for me, I have to constantly remind myself that this little person is learning all the things I know, not to do or do in everyday situations. Side note, do not ever tell your children, something is not possible, something is not real, because that causes them to loose that wonder for life. If they choose not to believe something, that is entirely their decision, not yours to make for them, same as for foods, let them try everything, don't hamper their taste buds.

Anyway, folks who don't want to take initiative around their workplace & then wonder why their immediate supervisor is on their butt.. well, don't wait for someone else to do it for you, find something, ask. That's another irritating thing for me, find something to do, even if it's just clicking on the program you use all day, to find out what else it can do.

And what keeps me chill, the fact I am able to listen to Pandora all day at my workplace, that helps me A LOT. I have been at my workplace for about a month now, can't complain, my supervisor & I get each other, though some other folks just need to keep their doors closed & leave us to our work. Anyway, I won't let that get me, remember, find your calm, take a few minutes every hour to breathe, remind yourself, "I got this" reach out to me if need be on my contact page. Remember, be respectful to others, praise the good things, help correct those who may not know any better..

So, I have to name my post ...

Well, I named it. So, today wasn't too terrible, not too much overthinking, considering workflow was super slow today, as far an internal communications go. Down time throws me in to overdrive on the ole thinking to much. My overdrive is worse when I know my beloved is struggling with his own feelings & work drama. I try to find ways to help, even if it's simply telling him, I'm here when he's ready to talk, or just giving him extra hugs. He uses natural plant based products for dealing with his anger issues & other issues he may have. And that's okay with me, as long as he's happy, I'm happy. And no, I've not lost myself by being that way with him, I just absolutely admire, respect, adore & love him that much. I am a simplistic person, I don't want too much, just simple living as best I can. The simplest thing can entertain me, i like keeping it that way.

My introduction

Hey, welcome to my twisted since of self. As I mentioned on my about me page, my name is Dustie, I live in a small rural area in Southern Ohio. The purpose of my page is to hopefully help others in their everyday life of dealing with some form of mental "illness". I put the illness in parentheses, because I don't see it as an illness, an illness to me, is like the flu, pneumonia or a HORRIBLE cold. I have a mental issue, an issue I choose not to be medicated over, that is a personal preference. Yes, I've been on meds, celexa, lexapro, zoloft, and I think that's it *insert thinking emoji here* . I don't like feeling like I'm in a walking haze, again, personal preference. I will ramble on & on, that's what I do, and again, like mentioned on my welcome/home page, I am grammatically challenged, so please, don't contact me over my grammar, or lack of, I am aware of it, thank you :) That's why I said it to begin with on the main page. Anyway, t...

A dive into the past

So, let's get some back history to me, and probably 1 of the many reasons I am the way I am at my age. When i was about 7, it was the very early 1980s, my uncle, his wife, & my cousin had come to visit, they had a friend with them. Everyone had been drinking & smoking, and my Dad, being the responsible person he was, didn't want them driving back to their houses, so everyone stayed over night. My brother & sister both we're gone, sleeping over at their friends house, I was the only 1 home, I was picked to stay home to play with my little cousin.   As everyone slept, i remember being in my brother's room sleeping in the bed with my little cousin, my sister had latched our door shut & I couldn't reach the lock. And my uncle's friend came in & woke me, which I was kind of awake, because my little cousin had wet the bed. Anyway, dude proceeded to pick me up, like he was taking me into my room to change my clothes. Instead of changing me, he laid ...
