Hi,

I'm Maggie. A 24 years old & aspiring Nursing Student at Delaware Technical Community College trying to make it in the adult world. I was diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and it's becoming more and more obvious I have a large dependancy problem on food. I started this blog to get some of the emotional baggage off my chest. Also to observe the journey and figure out the bad triggers of my diseases as well as some things that might help me feel better too.

The first thing that I figured out is that I am NOT the only one that feels this way. (Which made me feel a little less shattered than I was). The blogging community is amazingly supportive, as well as honest (which I could use a little more of).

I love DIY, Wise sayings, and uplifting food quips that can help me as well as others, I like to share that sort of thing, show other people what's out there. I have a lot of family problems. A stepfather who is an alcoholic, an in-denial self-centered mother, and two fucked up sisters who I'm afraid to say have let thier own ships sail (FAR AWAY FROM ME). I have my dad, his relatively-new girlfriend, my boyfriend of 8 years, some friends and some family. But essentially no core family exists in my life anymore.

I have two dogs, which have been nothing but theraputic through this entire journey, two roomates, love handles and a lot of tears. I'm trying to figure this all out but when it gets hard, it's really hard and the only thing I feel i can do is read and type.

I figure if I put my stuff out there, get the honest feedback and learn to love life again, my life will change, and I might just start to feel like I want to live it again.
