The past couple months have presented me with some unprecedented challenges, some of which have shaken me to my core. At times I’ve had a hard time sleeping, and list my appetite. 

I’ve had a few near-misses with panic attacks. Some day’s I’ve struggled to get out of bed. 

But I keep going. Some day’s it’s literally putting one foot in front of the other. 

I have doubts. I have fears. Some moments I fear I will lose my mind. 

But it doesn’t stop me. 

I hope it makes me stronger. But it doesn’t matter. I have to keep going, for myself, for my kids, for my pride and honor. 

This coming week will be the biggest challenge yet. I don’t know what will happen. I am thankful to have a few supportive people in my corner so I won’t be facing it alone. 

It’s been a tough couple months, but it’s not over. It’s time to get serious.
