The Schizophrenic Mom
Bio
I am a mother of 2 precious angels who drive me slightly more crazy
than I already am with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:
"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL

Part of me was killed on Father's Day weekend.... Runner-Up in I Wrote This Challenge. Content Warning.
It was just before Father's Day. The kids had been getting disregulated when going into a store, so I opted to go to the store while they were gone to get a selection of Father's Day cards for them to choose from for their dad. I double checked with the manager that it was alright - as long as I returned any that were unused before noon on Saturday so that other people could purchase them. I think that I was the one who specified that as I know that making sales is very important and I really didn't want to inconvenience anyone. I'm not for sure though because I was having a hard time following through with what needed to be done for the kids.

Perseverance... First Update
I was supposed to write this update in the beginning of April 2025, but I was intensely grieving the loss of my pregnancy. I am giving myself grace to persevere as I am able to - especially with the loss my little family endured as well as accepting my newest diagnosis and choosing to provide myself with medically indicated accommodations that other medical entities and providers have yet to provide me.

Be at Peace... Baby M&M. Content Warning.
I don't want to say goodbye. I hated seeing that empty ultrasound screen. I have no idea how to process this. I have no idea how to tell your siblings. I don't want to talk about it. I shouldn't have gone in to check.

Baby M^2
Dear Baby M "Jane" & Baby M "Thomas/Tom", I'm praying that you both are alright. I am refusing to let any provider check on you guys... because I am so scared. I am scared that I have failed to protect you both and I am afraid that if I find out for sure that I will break completely.

Valuable Life Lessons. Content Warning.
I finally decided that so many people in my life were right. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt and as long as serious injury is avoided, no one really cares. So with that concept in mind, I swallowed a double shot of whiskey and went out to remove the carseats from my vehicle.

Baby M^2. Content Warning.
Dear sweet babes, I keep wondering if I am feeling you kick. I know that it is still early, but... I feel little butterflies at times. I know that it is probably just gas, but... I hope that it is you guys! Your siblings told me that they felt you, so maybe?!
