Hi! I’m Stephanie.
My stats: 41, single, no kids, disabled.
My roles: cook, dishwasher, yogi, philosopher, daughter, Aunt Effie, sister, friend, news junkie, dog mom.
My labels (not saying I like being labeled just acknowledging societies expectations): bipolar, PTSD, agoraphobia, social anxiety, empath, introvert, infj, overweight.
My goals: get in mental shape for yoga teacher training (ytt). That is a short sentence for a seriously daunting task. I have to break so many habits and create so many good habits to get there. I’m coming from the brink of collapse, mentally, for the nth time. I’ve become so isolated, sedentary, and now stuck in my ways. I’ve been debilitated by my mental illness. I’m bouncing back after sooo much hard work but I have so far still to go… oops got distracted lol. Other goals: lose weight, finish my bachelor’s, find a way to pay for ytt, start volunteering, find a way to help people.
My hopes with this blog: I hope to find my place. I want to express myself and suss things out. I also want to document the rest of my journey. Most of all though I need to connect with like minded folks. I think there are so many people who struggle with some, all, or more than I. I happen to be outspokenly open about my shit, so why not share?
