$May is mental health awareness month. It's so important to remember that what you see on this platform, and social media in general, is a tiny fraction of a curation of a life. I try to keep it real with snippets of real life. This is a (probably edited) photo of me after I had my hair done and put on makeup. Haha. I love it, but I don't usually look like this. Take a look at my stories when I video myself and you will see that I definitely don't always look like this. 😂 Anyway, that's not even what I wanted to say. I wanted to talk about mental health. As you may recall, my mental health took a dive last year which continued into 2022. I decided to go on an antianxiety SSRI a couple of months ago at the advice of my Dr and it's been wonderful. I was having near daily panic attacks and honestly I would have had to take a medical leave from work if I didn't start them. (My 'real' job is not brandeye). I couldn't even concentrate on anything and my real job requires a ton of concentration and brain power and organization, none of which I had. I have also continued to do yoga and tapping and they are immensely helpful as well (and free!) How is your mental health? It's important to talk about when we're down instead of acting like we are always up. Sending you all ♥️. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth$

You can't go wrong with wallpaper and plants. This is a view down a hallway into the dining room. The hallway has a built in desk area that is basically used for plants. 🌱

I planted these planters yesterday and added a bunch of videos and photos to my stories. I also saved them as a new highlight called gardening. This is my favorite time of year, when I can finally plant more flowers and plants. 🌷🌱🌻🌺🌼 I'm giving veggies another try this year, so wish me luck.

I learned so much from this magazine over the years and am so sad that this is the last issue. @marthastewart48 taught me how you can make everything beautiful. I'll never forget after I read an article on planting 1000s of bulbs in the fall, then buying around 100 of them to plant. I didn't quite realize that she has a team of people to help her and it was a ton of work to plant them all. 😂 I will miss reading the articles each month and enjoying all the beautiful photos. @marthastewart

Happy national pet day to my best friend and the biggest fan of my quilts.

I haven't taken many good photos lately, so this one from last year will have to do. How's your week? I am super happy it's Friday and am looking forward to the weekend. I can't wait to get in the garden and start cleaning things up. Plus, some of the tulips that I planted last fall starting to pop! Happy Friday. ♥️

Hi. I thought it was time for a real life update. I haven't been posting much, because I was battling a neverending cycle of anxiety. It helps me when I hear that other people struggle so I hope this helps someone. For the last several months I was in a cycle of crippling anxiety for a week or so, then it would get better. But then it would start all over again. It got to the point where the physical symptoms were manifesting as serious health conditions. Racing heart, crushing and squeezing in my chest, body numbness, inability to concentrate. It was awful and none of what had worked in the past was working anymore. Three years of therapy, 'trying' to meditate, yoga, etc... None of it was helping to get me back to myself. I switched Drs to one that took my anxiety seriously and now I'm on a daily antianxiety medication. I feel like a new person or more accurately I feel like what I used to feel like, before it completely took over my life. I've had anxiety my entire life, but it was never anywhere near as bad as the last few months. I am so thankful that SSRIs leveled me out. Living life without a dark storm cloud of irrational fear over my head is a delight.

Treated myself to a couple of spring flowers to add some cheer to my life. I repotted them in some of my favorite vintage finds and my @mmc.ceramics planter. Things have been beyond heavy lately. What have you been doing to cheer yourself up?
