Weekly Blog Update 7/12/2015

As I look at the cover of Memoirs of a Broken Heart, I remember that she was me not too long ago. And if I wasn’t currently pregnant, that would still be me. Yet, I have come a long way. I will not take my successes from me. I recall when I couldn’t leave my home let alone my bed because my social anxiety was so bad. I was truly in a dark space in my life. I even contemplated suicide but the thought of how that would affect my daughter kept me alive. Battling mental illness and addiction is no walk in the park and I continue to battle with it even today. Yes, I am pregnant so I shouldn’t want to drink alcohol, but there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t crave the taste. Thank God alcohol makes me vomit now. Sadly, that is the only thing keeping me away from my vice. As far as my mental illness (bipolar II disorder), let’s just say it’s also a daily fight. Since I am pregnant, I have had to stop taking some of my medications and the hormones associated with pregnancy don’t help at all. BUT I AM STILL HERE. I am still fighting. Not only for me, but also my daughter and unborn son. I decided to share this part of my life because I know for a fact there is someone else experiencing the same issues as myself. And I want you to know YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Yours Truly,

Kaz

  2. I am so proud of you. I love you to pieces. You’ve come so far and yet this is only the beginning. You have such light ahead of you and you are fighting through the darkness to get there like the warrior I know you are. As always, I will be here for you every step of the way.
