Day #1

Where to start?

Intro: I'm Courtney.  I'm 29 and a single mom to the world's most beautiful little girl.  I am a plus-sized woman who also happens to suffer with some mental health issues.  I can say that for most of life, I've been able to find something wrong.  I've never been quite satisfied.  Whether it's because of my family's background (mental illness runs rampant), or my own personal situations (break-ups, job losses, deaths), or just my own personality - I'm a little bit of a perfectionist - I'm not sure.  But, I've had this incomplete feeling.

I'm going to start out by saying that I am writing this blog for ME.  If someone else finds help in it, great, but this is for ME.  A place for me to start my healing process and move toward the future.  I've always loved to write - I find it absolutely cathartic. So, I decided to start writing again. 

When I figure out exactly what I want to write about, I'll focus, but for now, this is a place for me to just get all my feelings out.  It's my own personal little on-going therapy session, where I can be brutally honest with myself.

Buckle up folks, cuz this is gonna be a bumpy ride... think u can handle it?  Well, jump on in and ride along! ;)
