My name is Tammy. I am a 39 year old, mother of 2 girls both with special needs. I work full time as a RPN at my local hospital. I have ADD/ADHD, anxiety and depression. This is my search on a somewhat daily basis of finding me. Some where over the last 12 or so years of being a mom and a nurse and a wife and a housekeeper and a fixer of all things big and small. I have lost what was me.Now i am left feeling deflated used and unvalidated.This is me finding me .
words to live by
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those matter don't mind.

it all about breathing
well I have come to several conclusions lately, first my husband and I need marriage counselling in the worst way and with out it we do not stand much of a chance. Sadly many marriages with children with disabilities ends in divorce. I do not want to be a statistic but it is a two way street and lately i have hit many road blocks. Secondly, i noticed how exercise improved my mood and made it easier to deal with point #1 but i also realised as I was lifting weights one night that exercise is alot like love, no no hear me out. while lifting weights usually I do 10 reps and when it is getting really tough to keep going i think to myself just count to 10 so i do my 10 reps . Then one night while arguing with my husband I found that I would stop and count to 10 and I would be more calm so I made the connection that when the going gets tough the best thing to is count to 10 if arguing or having trouble completing your weights count to 10.
