Wish Me No More Crazy.


It’s not so much the treatment as the anticipation of what’s to come that’ll turn you into a raving lunatic…

I feel like every day I just watch the clock thinking, “what are you watchin the clock for? You’re not going to be doing anything?” And then thinking is this it? IS this all I’m going to be in my life? Is this all I’m going to get to experience and do?…

I wish that just once my body would listen to my brain and do as I wish and tell it to.

I wish I wouldn’t feel like I’m manic all the time, like I’m two eye twitches away from being committed…

I wish that instead of wishing things to be different I’d wake up and look around… And see how very lucky I am. And see that I have all that I need right where I’m at…

you are truly blessed. you have a beautiful home, a loving, fun, and supportive husband, 2 beautiful children that probably run you like crazy, but they are such wonderful miracles non the less! you have a wonderful loving and supportive family and you yourself are beautiful, strong and intelligent!

girl, you got it going on. you should never feel that you don't have it great, b/c you definitely do!

Repeat after me: "I - am - not - crazy."

"Just loopy."

Your not crazy .........just a mom !

(Don't you LOVE it when people use words like "just"......Makes it seem as though its a little thing)

Moms have to be a little crazy, just the thought of giving birth would drive men over the edge. I've seen it and its C.R.A.Z.Y. ! !

Hang in there !

i think you know how lucky you are- but i think that the mommy-ness of your psyche won't allow yourself to concentrate on that right now...and that's OKAY.

take some time for you, okay?

crazy is repeating the same behaviors with expectations that things will be better each time....and they are not.

like promising yourself that you will eat a little more dinner the next time you do jello-shots and then paying for it the next day with the worst hangover you've ever had....ooooh I'm crazy.

I think you just need a vacation from everything. Take a trip somewhere and just relax. I do that when I just need some "me" time.

I know, the glass is always at least half-empty. But, sometimes they keep filling the glass. The glass gets bigger, but there's always more water in it.

OK, that's really enough philosophy for now.

You're young enough, that, if you're having these thoughts, that you can make changes and experience some of the things you want. It doesn't always take big changes. The little ones are enough sometimes. Just enough to get you to stop looking at the clock and appreciate what you did while you weren't.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be committed, just for a little peace and quiet ;)

I think you're doing a great job. I guess the only thing I could say is take one day at a time as it comes and stop and think of all the things you are thankful when the crazy, scared thoughts start creeping in.

i'm with anthony - little changes can lead to great and wonderful things. feeling manic is an awful feeling, i know. while you're taking such amazing care of everyone else, you must remember you too. anything i can do?
