Wanting peace

I hate mental health. I hate dealing with adrenaline and anxiety and depression. I want to feel completely like myself. I feel like I’m 45 years old and still can’t get my act together sometimes. I have learned SO much about anxiety over the years. To be honest, John is thinking about writing a book about how this manifests in people. He likes to use the word "adrenaline" instead of anxiety. The adrenaline fires, your mind searches for a causes, and wha-la ... you have mental health issues. 

But there are so many happy moments … like this one.  Little Theo during homeschool day yesterday.
